Statistical Modelling of the Resilient Behaviour of Unbound Granular Material

Slovak Journal of Civil Engineering, 2013
Abstract The resilient behaviour of an unsaturated, unbound granular material is a primary input used in the mechanistic analysis of pavements incorporating such layers. Various models exist for the determination of the resilient behaviour, mainly based on the output of tri-axial laboratory testing.

A Unifying Thermodynamic Model for Phase Separation and Aging of Biopolymers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Phase separation and aging of intrinsically disordered proteins are placed in a unifying framework. A thermodynamically consistent time‐dependent version of associating‐polymer theory shows how the processes are intricately coupled. Assuming aging to occur through interacting sites resulting from reversible conformational transitions, the model ...

Rhoifolin Alleviates Ulcerative Colitis by Targeting NMNAT1 and Activating SIRT1‐FOXO1 Signaling to Enhance ILC3s Effector Function

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Rhoifolin directly targets NMNAT1, thereby activating nicotinamide salvage pathway and promoting intracellular NAD+ biosynthesis. Elevated NAD+ levels enhance SIRT1 activity, leading to FOXO1 deacetylation and nuclear translocation. Nuclear FOXO1 subsequently binds to the IL‐22 promoter, upregulating IL‐22 transcription and potentiating ILC3 effector ...

Sticker Valence Governs Chain Collapse and Liquid‐Liquid Phase Separation in Peptide‐Inspired Associative Polymers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Peptide‐inspired associative polymers with arginine‐like guanidinium stickers and lysine‐like ammonium spacers undergo chain collapse and liquid‐liquid phase separation induced by reversible sticker associations. Sticker valence and tunable association strength jointly control the phase behavior, chain conformation, and interfacial cohesion of these ...

Analysis of nonlinear responses of asphalt pavements under overloading and tropical climate temperature conditions

Case Studies in Construction Materials
The design of asphalt pavement in many developing nations still relies on an empirical approach, often leading to either premature failure of the pavement or overdesign.

Deformational properties of unbound granular pavement materials

Road and Rail Infrastructure III, Proceedings of the Conference CETRA 2014, 2014
Selection of pavement materials takes very important role in pavement design procedure. The understanding of pavement structure behavior under cyclic loading is necessary in order to assure its serviceability during a predicted structure life. Unbound granular material layers in pavement structure represent a base for upper construction and their ...
