Toward bio-inspired information processing with networks of nano-scale switching elements

open access: yes, 2013
Unconventional computing explores multi-scale platforms connecting molecular-scale devices into networks for the development of scalable neuromorphic architectures, often based on new materials and components with new functionalities. We review some work

Oxide Interface of Gallium‐Based Liquid Metals: Beneficial Bridge or Hidden Risk?

open access: yesChemistryEurope, EarlyView.
Discussion on oxide interfaces in gallium‐based liquid metals have concentrated on their properties, behaviors, and related applications. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying effects, as well as the differences between the presence and absence of the oxide layer, have been less thoroughly discussed.

Unconventional neurotransmitters, neurodegeneration and neuroprotection

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2009
Neurotransmitters are also involved in functions other than conventional signal transfer between nerve cells, such as development, plasticity, neurodegeneration, and neuroprotection.

Unconventional forms of synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus and the striatum

open access: yes, 2008
Synaptic transmission occurs as a result of either a spontaneous release of presynaptic vesicles or a batch release of presynaptic vesicles driven by action potentials. The physiological consequence of synaptic transmission driven by different patterns and frequencies of presynaptic stimulation has been extensively investigated.

Effect of confining pressure on fracture characteristics and mineralogical behavior of tight sandstone specimens after hydraulic fracturing

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Hydraulic fracturing in tight sandstone and fracture propagation characteristics using backscattered electron‐scanning electron microscope (BSE‐SEM) images. Abstract This study focuses on hydraulic fracturing experiments conducted under triaxial conditions on tight sandstone specimens from Shivpuri district, Madhya Pradesh, India.

A rock brittleness index based on the postpeak energy release rate and damage surface characteristics for brittle hard rock

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study examines energy evolution in rock rupture via triaxial direct shear tests, exploring the impact of confining pressure and temperature on fracture surface randomness. A novel energy‐based brittleness index is proposed, validated experimentally, and compared with existing methods for reliability and accuracy.

Structural vulnerability in EPCR suggests functional modulation

open access: yesScientific Reports
The endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) is a fundamental component of the vascular system in mammals due to its contribution in maintaining blood in a non-prothrombotic state, which is crucial for overall life development.

Multiple injection techniques to stimulate complex fracture networks in coal reservoirs: A case study on gas disaster reduction of subsurface coal mine in southwest China

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
An experimental device for physical simulation of hydraulic fracturing, comprising: a load‐bearing mechanism with multiple interconnected plates that collectively form an sample chamber; a load‐generating mechanisms, with multiple load‐generating mechanisms arranged within the experimental chamber.

3D modelling of geomaterials accounting for an unconventional plasticity approach

open access: yes, 2011
The coupled hydro-mechanical state in geomaterials undergoing plasticity phenomena is here evaluated by means of the subloading surface model . The most important feature of this theory is the abolition of the distinction between the elastic and plastic domain, as it happens in conventional elastoplastic models. This means that plastic deformations are
