Ready for the flood? Assessing the applicability of pluvial flood mapping based on the worst urban flood in Sweden

open access: yesClimate Services
Pluvial flood mapping is a common way to identify locations at risk of being flooded in connection with an extreme short-duration rainfall. As rainfall extremes are expected to intensify in a warmer climate, more and more cities and municipalities are ...

From Exile to Homeland Return: Ethnographic Mapping to Inform Peacebuilding from Afar

open access: yesStability : International Journal of Security and Development, 2020
When violent conflict flares up, forced migration often follows. Ethnographic data shows that forced migrants remain attached to their places of origin and often express a desire to return once conflict has abated, be it after weeks, months, or years ...

A finite element method for thermo-mechanical coupling analysis of shape memory alloys [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Due to strong thermo-mechanical coupling in shape memory alloys (SMAs), heat generation/absorption during forward/reverse phase transformation can cause temperature variations in the material; influencing its mechanical behaviour.

Non-local fractional model of rate independent plasticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In the paper the generalisation of classical rate independent plasticity using fractional calculus is presented. This new formulation is non-local due to properties of applied fractional differential operator during definition of kinematics.

Deciphering transcriptional plasticity in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma reveals alterations in sensory neuron innervation

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pancreatic sensory neurons innervating healthy and PDAC tissue were retrogradely labeled and profiled by single‐cell RNA sequencing. Tumor‐associated innervation showed a dominant neurofilament‐positive subtype, altered mitochondrial gene signatures, and reduced non‐peptidergic neurons.

ALE-based ductile damage and fracture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Mixed methods have been used with success in finite strain elasto-plastic with damage for decades. The subsequent stage is now dealt with enrichment methods, either local such as SDA or global such as XFEM.

Parallelization of an object-oriented FEM dynamics code: influence of the strategies on the Speedup [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This paper presents an implementation in C++ of an explicit parallel finite element code dedicated to the simulation of impacts. We first present a brief overview of the kinematics and the explicit integration scheme with details concerning some ...

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

Finite element modelling of rate-dependent ratcheting in granular materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
International audienceThe present paper introduces a comprehensive model that is capable of describing the behaviour, under cyclic loading, of the granular materials used in railway tracks and road pavement.

Circulating tumor cell viability during and after radiotherapy mirrors treatment response in cancer patients

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Radiotherapy (RT) response depends on the DNA repair capacity of tumor and host cells. We show that circulating tumor cell (CTC) counts and apoptosis rates before and after RT predict treatment response and outcome, which can be accessed via easily accessible liquid biopsy approaches. Created in BioRender. Wikman, H.
