Criticality and Scaling Relations in a Sheared Granular Material [PDF]

, 2006
We investigate a rheological property of a dense granular material under shear. By a numerical experiment of the system with constant volume, we find a critical volume fraction at which the shear stress and the pressure behave as power-law functions of ...

Identifying transcription factors controlling the basal expression of human MRP4 highlights a substantial role for Sp1

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The MRP4 transporter exports several drugs and signaling molecules. Here, we identified key promoter elements regulating basal MRP4 expression. Using reporter assays, we defined a conserved region with essential Sp1 and contributory Ets sites, which controlled basal MRP4 expression.

Shear Failure Mode and Concrete Edge Breakout Resistance of Cast-In-Place Anchors in Steel Fiber-Reinforced Normal Strength Concrete

Applied Sciences, 2020
Concrete edge failure of a single anchor in concrete is strongly dependent on the tensile performance of the concrete, which can be greatly improved by the addition of steel fibers.

Normal stress anisotropy and marginal stability in athermal elastic networks

, 2018
Hydrogels of semiflexible biopolymers such as collagen have been shown to contract axially under shear strain, in contrast to the axial dilation observed for most elastic materials.

A Systematic Comparison of Alpha‐Synuclein Seed Amplification Assays for Increasing Reproducibility

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed amplification assays (SAAs) enable ultrasensitive detection of misfolded α‐synuclein across biofluids and tissues. Yet, heterogeneity in protocols limits cross‐study comparability and clinical translation. Here, we review α‐synuclein SAA methods and their performance across various biological matrices.

Corrosion effects of longitudinal reinforcement on shear behavior of concrete beams without web reinforcement

工程科学学报, 2023
Rebar corrosion is the principal factor affecting the service performance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Corrosion reduces the effective area of rebars as well as performance, and weakens the pin bolt effect of rebar on concrete.

Shear thickening of highly viscous granular suspensions

, 2014
We experimentally investigate shear thickening in dense granular suspensions under oscillatory shear. Directly imaging the suspension-air interface, we observe dilation beyond a critical strain $\gamma_c$ and the end of shear thickening as the maximum ...

Supercooled Liquids Under Shear: Theory and Simulation [PDF]

, 2004
We analyze the behavior of supercooled fluids under shear both theoretically and numerically. Theoretically, we generalize the mode-coupling theory of supercooled fluids to systems under stationary shear flow. Our starting point is the set of generalized

Shear behavior of a shear thickening fluid-impregnated aramid fabrics at high shear rate [PDF]

Composites Part B: Engineering, 2016
Shear-thickening fluid-impregnated aramid (STF-im-AR) fabrics have been manufactured for advanced soft body armor applications for which they provide improved ballistic and stab resistances. It is not yet clear whether or not such improvements can be attributed solely to the STF.
