Sidewall Roughness Measurement and Bearing Performance Simulation of Rock-Socketed Piles Based on Laser Scanning Point Cloud by Junbao Zhang, Yule Hu, Yiteng Wang, Di Zhang

“…The results show that, although the working load is carried by both the side and base resistances, the former plays a major role. The slow-varying load-settlement curve indicates that the pile has a superior load–bearing capacity, and the maximum allowable settlement should be considered in the application. …”

Investigating the Influences of Pore-Scale Characteristics on Tight Oil Migration by a Two-Phase Pore Network Model by Jianhui Zeng, Yongchao Zhang, Jingsheng Ma, Changling Liu, Zhe Cao

“…The migration of expelled hydrocarbon from source rock into unconventional tight reservoirs is subject to different pore-scale fluid transport mechanisms as opposed to the conventional counterparts and therefore plays a crucial role in controlling the hydrocarbon distribution and accumulation in the former. One of the different mechanisms is related to the formation of a more viscous boundary layer (BL) of brine, i.e., wetting phase fluid on pore surfaces, giving rise to the so-called BL effect. …”

Current State of Normative and Legal Regulation of the Rehabilitation Institution in Criminal Proceedings of Ukraine by H. I. Hlobenko

“…It has been established that it was first used in medieval France to denote the pardon of a convict with the restoration of all his former rights. However, due to the development of social relations and a radical change in society’s attitude to sentencing, the concept of “rehabilitation” has become much broader than the original definition. …”

For Better or Worse: The Effect of Prismatic Adaptation on Auditory Neglect by Isabel Tissieres, Mona Elamly, Stephanie Clarke, Sonia Crottaz-Herbette

“…The beneficial effect of R-PA on an ear-related performance contrasted with detrimental effects on diotic listening and auditory localization. The former can be parsimoniously explained by the SHD-VAS model (shift in hemispheric dominance within the ventral attentional system; Clarke and Crottaz-Herbette 2016), which is based on the R-PA-induced shift of the right-dominant ventral attentional system to the left hemisphere. …”

Magnetic Seizure Therapy for Unipolar and Bipolar Depression: A Systematic Review by Eric Cretaz, André R. Brunoni, Beny Lafer

“…Magnetic seizure therapy (MST) is a novel, experimental therapeutic intervention, which combines therapeutic aspects of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and transcranial magnetic stimulation, in order to achieve the efficacy of the former with the safety of the latter. MST might prove to be a valuable tool in the treatment of mood disorders, such as major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder. …”

Maternal Docosahexaenoic Acid Increases Adiponectin and Normalizes IUGR-Induced Changes in Rat Adipose Deposition by Heidi N. Bagley, Yan Wang, Michael S. Campbell, Xing Yu, Robert H. Lane, Lisa A. Joss-Moore

“…Our primary findings were that maternal DHA supplementation during rat pregnancy and lactation (1) normalizes IUGR-induced changes in adipose deposition and visceral PPARγ expression in male rats and (2) increases serum adiponectin, as well as adipose expression of adiponectin and adiponectin receptors in former IUGR rats. Our novel findings suggest that maternal DHA supplementation may normalize adipose dysfunction and promote adiponectin-induced improvements in metabolic function in IUGR.…”
