Uniaxial Dynamic Mechanical Properties Of Tunnel Lining Concrete Under Moderate-Low Strain Rate After High Temperature

open access: yesArchives of Civil Engineering, 2015
To investigate the mechanical properties of tunnel lining concrete under different moderate-low strain rates after high temperatures, uniaxial compression tests in association with ultrasonic tests were performed.

Strain Softening in Viscoelasticity of the Rate Type [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Integral Equations and Applications, 1990
The paper is concerned with the study of the system of partial differential equations \(v_ t=\sigma_ x\), \(u_ t=v_ x\), \(\sigma=\tau(u)v_ x^ n\), where \(\tau(u)\) is a prescribed constitutive function and \(n\) is a positive parameter. These equations describe the plastic shearing of an infinite plate.

Actin dynamics controlled by IqgC, a RasGAP at the crossroads between the IQGAP and fungal GAP1 families

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
IqgC is a RasGAP from Dictyostelium discoideum. IqgC binds RasG via its RasGAP domain and deactivates it on macroendocytic cups, thereby suppressing the uptake of fluid and particles. IqgC has a positive effect on cell‐substratum adhesion, and its RGCt domain is required for recruitment to ventral foci.

Nitric oxide‐forming nitrite reductases in the anaerobic ammonium oxidizer Kuenenia stuttgartiensis

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Anammox bacteria remove fixed nitrogen from their environment via anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) with nitrite as electron acceptor and dinitrogen gas as product. The first anammox step is the conversion of nitrite to nitric oxide by nitrite reductase.

Tensile testing of sheet metals at elevated temperatures with optical strain rate control [PDF]

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences
The manufacturing of sheet metal parts from lightweight alloys is often restricted due to limited formability of the applied materials at room temperature. To overcome this issue, thermally supported forming processes like hot forming are used.

Downregulation of sST2, a decoy receptor for interleukin‐33, enhances subcutaneous tumor growth in murine pancreatic cancer cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Subcutaneous implantation of murine Panc02 pancreatic cancer cells depleted of sST2, a soluble decoy receptor for the proinflammatory interleukin‐33 (IL‐33), leads to a decreased number of GLUT4‐positive cancer‐associated adipocytes, reduced levels of the anti‐inflammatory molecule adiponectin, increased phosphorylation of IκBα, elevated Cxcl3 ...

Mechanical strain induces growth of vascular smooth muscle cells via autocrine action of PDGF. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
The effect of cyclic mechanical strain on growth of neonatal rat vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells were examined. Cells were grown on silicone elastomer plates subjected to cyclic strain (60 cycle/min) by application of a vacuum under the plates. A 48 h

Beyond p‐values: Assessing clinical significance in acupuncture research

open access: yesAdvanced Chinese Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract In acupuncture randomized controlled trials (RCTs), the proper interpretation of results requires a thorough understanding of key statistical concepts such as p‐value, effect size, and the minimal clinically important difference (MCID). This paper explores the relationships among these metrics and their implications for assessing the clinical ...

The Road Not Taken: Misclassifying an Anti‐Seizure Medication as a Failure

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To quantify how often anti‐seizure medications (ASMs) appear ineffective yet provide benefit when considering seizure frequency (SF) variability. Methods We used the CHOCOLATES seizure diary simulator to generate 100,000 patient seizure diaries that reflect natural SF variation in a heterogeneous population.
