Maximum warning times for imminent volcanic eruptions [PDF]
Accelerations in seismicity are important precursors to eruptions at volcanoes reawakening after extended repose intervals. These have previously been quantified for subduction-zone settings in terms of the linkage of crustal faults by shearing ...

LDAcoop: Integrating non‐linear population dynamics into the analysis of clonogenic growth in vitro
Limiting dilution assays (LDAs) quantify clonogenic growth by seeding serial dilutions of cells and scoring wells for colony formation. The fraction of negative wells is plotted against cells seeded and analyzed using the non‐linear modeling of LDAcoop.

Second law of thermodynamics and the failure of rock materials [PDF]
The relation of nonequilibrium thermodynamics to some failure and fracture theories of rock mechanics is investigated. The basic concepts are given to connect failure to the properties of material equations describing the elastic properties.

A fractal fragmentation model for rockfalls [PDF]
The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10346-016-0773-8The impact-induced rock mass fragmentation in a rockfall is analyzed by comparing the in situ block size distribution (IBSD) of the rock mass detached from the ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

State-of-the-art review on plant-based solutions for soil improvement
Vegetation has been used as a means in geotechnical engineering for soil improvement and erosion control. This paper aims to present a state-of-the-art review and future prospective on soil improvement and reinforcement with plants, mainly from a ...

Quasi-static stationary-periodic model of percussive deep drilling [PDF]
Copyright @ 2005 Patron EditoreIn the percussively deep drilling, the rock is modeled by an infinite elastic medium with a semi-infinite cylindrical bore-hole having a curvilinear bottom.

Experimental testing of low energy rockfall catch fence meshes [PDF]
Flexible catch fences are widely used to protect infrastructure like railways, roads and buildings from rockfall damage. The wire meshes are the most critical components for catch fences as they dissipate most of the impact energy.

The relationship between anabolic and catabolic processes governing lung cancer cell growth is nuanced. We show that ATG4B, an autophagy regulator, is elevated in lung cancer and that high ATG4B is associated with worse patient outcomes. Targeting ATG4B in cells reduces growth, protein synthesis, and mTORC1 activity, demonstrating a new relationship ...

Heterogeneity Measures for Analyzing the Scale Effect and Anisotropy of Joint Roughness
Joint roughness of rock joints is one of the key factors influencing the mechanical properties of rock joints. The influence of joint roughness on the mechanical properties of rock mass is usually quantitatively characterized by joint roughness ...
