The brittleness index in hydraulic fracturing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We present a new definition of a brittleness index which is used as a criterion for candidate selection of rock intervals for hydraulic fracturing. The new index is a combination of material strength parameters and insitu stresses. It was derived from an

A viscoplasticity model with an enhanced control of the yield surface distortion

open access: yes, 2012
A new model of metal viscoplasticity, which takes combined isotropic, kinematic, and distortional hardening into account, is presented. The basic modeling assumptions are illustrated using a new two-dimensional rheological analogy.

A conformational RNA zipper promotes intron ejection during non-conventional XBP1 mRNA splicing. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The kinase/endonuclease IRE1 is the most conserved signal transducer of the unfolded protein response (UPR), an intracellular signaling network that monitors and regulates the protein folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

Evidence of new twinning modes in magnesium questioning the shear paradigm

open access: yes, 2017
Twinning is an important deformation mode of hexagonal close-packed metals. The crystallographic theory is based on the 150-years old concept of simple shear. The habit plane of the twin is the shear plane, it is invariant.

The Unconventional Growth Factors Cerebral Dopamine Neurotrophic Factor and Mesencephalic Astrocyte–Derived Neurotrophic Factor Promote Post-ischemic Neurological Recovery, Perilesional Brain Remodeling, and Lesion-Remote Axonal Plasticity

open access: yesTranslational Stroke Research, 2022
Considerable efforts are currently made to develop strategies that boost endogenous recovery once a stroke has occurred. Owing to their restorative properties, neurotrophic factors are attractive candidates that capitalize on endogenous response mechanisms.

FiN‐Kiri: Fabric‐Based Inflatable Kirigami Actuator for Multimodal Soft Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study introduces a type of inflatable fabric‐based kirigami actuator capable of performing bending motion. The actuator is utilized as soft grippers, a crawling robot and a swimming robot. The crawling robot demonstrated extraordinary motion capabilities, such as moving forward, turning and navigating a narrow tunnel.
