Observations from large-scale triaxial compression tests at jointed slaking rock masses [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesTriaxial compression tests are commonly used to characterise strength and deformation behaviour of rock to determine parameters for engineering design and modelling. For triaxial tests, intact specimens are usually selected to determine parameters of the

Perspectives of 3D Probabilistic Subsoil Modeling for BIM
Geotechnics, 2023 Building information modeling (BIM) in the planning and construction of infrastructure projects, such as roads, tunnels, and excavations, requires the generation of comprehensive 3D subsoil models that encompass relevant geological and geotechnical ...

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Experimental investigation of coupled thermo-mechanical behaviour of Kaolin clay [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesAn experimental study regarding the thermo-mechanical behaviour of a Malaysian Kaolin is presented in this paper. Mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) tests have been performed on compacted samples with varying initial water contents. Samples compacted at

SWCC of Calcareous Silty Sand Under Different Fines Contents and dry Densities
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 Investigating the soil-water characteristics of calcareous soil has a great significance for preventing geological disasters on island-reefs as well as maintaining the foundation stability of hydraulic-filled island-reefs. In this study, calcareous silty

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Transcripts enriched in codons that trigger P‐site tRNA‐mediated mRNA decay possess stable mRNA
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.PTMD codons were first described by Mendel et al. as mediators of an mRNA decay pathway dependent on the human protein CNOT3, homologous to yeast Not5. Our findings confirm that PTMD codons destabilize transcripts; however, unlike in yeast, the human pathway specifically targets and slightly destabilizes primarily stable mRNAs.
