A new shear strength criterion of three-dimensional rock joints [PDF]
The presence of rock joints substantially reduces the rock mass strength. The deformability and stability of natural and engineered rock structures, such as rock slopes and underground caverns, are highly afected by rock joints along which sliding can

Stability Prediction of Residual Soil and Rock Slope Using Artificial Neural Network
A sudden downward movement of the geomaterial, either composed of soil, rock, or a mixture of both, along the mountain slopes due to various natural or anthropogenic factors is known as a landslide.

A 3D anisotropic hydrogel derived from heart extracellular matrix guides cytoskeletal alignment and nuclear remodeling in reprogrammed cardiomyocyte‐like cells. This study reveals how matrix alignment modulates nuclear envelope dynamics and chromatin state, triggering transcriptional and functional maturation.

The formation of valley-wall rock glaciers [PDF]
In recent years, the study of rock glaciers has increased remarkably. Substantive progress has been made, particularly in understanding the formation of rock glaciers that have developed adjacent to existing or former valley or cirque glaciers ...

In order to accurately analyze the stability of soil-rock-mixture slopes, a method which considers the random distribution, proportion of rock blocks, and the dip angles of bedrock is put forward.

Overhanging rock slopes (steeper than 90°) are typically avoided in rock engineering design, particularly where the scale of the slope exceeds the scale of fracturing present in the rock mass.

An intrinsic photoactive star‐shaped zinc phtalocyanine‐poly(L‐glutamic acid) (ZnPc‐PGA) nanoplatform for multimodal glioblastoma (GBM) therapy and brain‐targeted elivery. A ZnPc‐PGA‐based multifunctional theranostic nanocarrier platform enables image‐guided, multimodal GBM therapy. ZnPc‐PGA nanocarriers support the integration of fluorescence imaging,

A method of 3D network modeling of discontinuities in rock slope
Based on the non-contact photograph technique and the Monte-Carlo random theory, a new three-dimensional network modeling method of discontinuities in rock slopes is proposed that includes details about surveying discontinuities of rock slopes in the ...
