Water characteristic curve and shear strength of soil with bimodal characteristics

, 2012
Rainfall-induced slope failures frequently occur around the world. One of the controlling parameters in slope stability assessment is shear strength of soil. Shear strength of soil is usually affected by soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC).

Early‐Life Manganese Overexposure Activates Microglial Phagocytosis through the YY1/TREM2 Axis Leading to Hippocampal Synaptic Remodeling in Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Early‐life manganese exposure induces behavioral deficits and aberrant hippocampal synaptic remodeling by enhancing microglial phagocytosis in young adult male mice. Mechanistically, manganese promotes Yin Yang 1 (YY1)/triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) signaling through enhanced HIF1α‐mediated transcription and suppressed SMURF2 ...

Rhizodeposition Drives One Third of Belowground Carbon Input in Agroecosystems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study quantifies photosynthesized C allocation in the plant–soil system across six crop types: barley, wheat, maize, rice, legumes and grasses. It reports C partitioning into shoot respiration, shoot‐C, root‐C, net rhizodeposition and root‐derived CO2, providing standardized percentage averages and GPP‐derived absolute values as a robust baseline ...

Improved Deformability of Co‐Free Medium Entropy Oxides by Controlled Entropy Destabilization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Controlled entropy destabilization activates defect‐mediated plasticity in Co‐free (CuMgNiZn)O by promoting pre‐existing Cu‐rich secondary phases that serve as defect sources. Temperature‐dependent dislocation activity evolves from limited motion at room temperature to extensive glide and stacking‐fault formation at 600 °C, enabling improved plasticity

NCLX Inhibition plus Ca2+ Delivery Potentiates Electroporation and Antitumor Immunity in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Electroporation combined with NCLX inhibition and Ca2+ delivery induces mitochondrial Ca2+ overload in PDAC cells, triggering pyroptosis, DAMP release, and antitumor immune activation. Simultaneously, suppression of tumor‐derived SPP1 weakens SPP1–CD44 signaling and remodels macrophages toward an antitumor phenotype, thereby enhancing CD8+ T‐cell ...
