A Coupled Elastoplastic Damage Dynamic Model for Rock by Xuelong Hu, Ming Zhang, Xiangyang Zhang, Min Tu, Zhiqiang Yin, Haifeng Ma, Minke Duan

“…In this model, unified strength theory is taken as the yield criterion; to reflect the different damage evolution law of rocks under tension and pressure conditions, the effective plastic strain and volumetric plastic strain are used to represent the compressive damage variable and the equivalent plastic strain is used to represent the tensile damage variable; the plastic hardening behavior and strain rate effect of rocks are characterized by piecewise function and dynamic increase factor function, respectively; Fortran language and LS-DYNA User-Defined Interface (Umat) are used to numerically implement the constitutive model; the constitutive model is verified by three classical examples of rock uniaxial and triaxial compression tests, rock uniaxial tensile test, and rock ballistic test. …”

Gravitational odd-parity perturbation of a Horndeski hairy black hole: quasinormal mode and parameter constraint by Zhen-Hao Yang, Yun-He Lei, Xiao-Mei Kuang, Bin Wang

“…Moreover, our results indicate that such a Horndeski hairy black hole is stable under the odd perturbation, which is also verified by the time evolution of the perturbation. In particular, in contrast to GR, the modes with $$\ell =2$$ ℓ = 2 can decay faster than modes with $$\ell >2$$ ℓ > 2 for a certain range of the Horndeski hair, and the link between the null geodesics and QNM for the odd perturbation in the current theory is violated. …”

Natural products based on Correa's cascade for the treatment of gastric cancer trilogy: Current status and future perspective by Wenhao Liao, Jing Wang, Yuchen Li

“…Gastric carcinoma (GC) is a malignancy with multifactorial involvement, multicellular regulation, and multistage evolution. The classic Correa's cascade of intestinal GC specifies a trilogy of malignant transformation of the gastric mucosa, in which normal gastric mucosa gradually progresses from inactive or chronic active gastritis (Phase I) to gastric precancerous lesions (Phase II) and finally to GC (Phase III). …”

Analog Replicator of Long Chaotic Radio Pulses for Coherent Processing by Lev Kuzmin, Elena Efremova, Pavel Vladyka, Vadim Itskov

“…To repeat the shape of oscillations for an arbitrarily long period of time is not a problem for digital chaotic oscillators, but for analog systems, this is a challenge due to the impossibility of controlling the initial conditions and the evolution of the analog trajectory. In this paper, a new method for generating chaos is proposed, which can both change and repeat the shape of a chaotic signal of arbitrary duration, i.e., long chaotic radio pulses. …”
