An Experimental Study on the Deformation and Strength Characteristics of Q3 Loess under a Plain Strain Anisotropic Consolidation Condition by Yu Zhang, Yang Zhao, Jin Liu, Tian-Yi Meng, Sheng-Jun Shao, Fang-Tao She

“…The study shows that loess tends to be in a plastic failure state in different confining pressures and k values, and the stress-strain relationship curve is of a hardening type. Results reveal that loess lateral and volume deformations have nonlinear relationships with its vertical deformation, and volume deformation shrinks in the process of shearing. …”

Scientific and Methodological Bases of Exergetic Analysis of the Processes of Heat Treatment of Concrete Products in Heat Technology Installations. Part 1 by V. N. Romaniuk, A. M. Niyakovskii

“…For each of these cases, the analysis of exergetic flows was carried out, the structure of the exergy of the concrete mixture and the hardening concrete was determined. Based on the analysis of the literature data on the chemical composition of cement clinkers, cements, and hydration products, new dependences have been proposed for calculating the exergy of the concrete mixture flow and the exergy of concrete under its heat treatment, including all their components, viz. thermomechanical, reaction, and concentration constituents. …”

Experimental Results on Charge Fluctuations in Heavy-Ion Collisions by D. K. Mishra, P. Garg, P. K. Netrakanti, L. M. Pant, A. K. Mohanty

“…Deviations are observed in both Sσ and κσ2 for net-proton multiplicity distributions from the Skellam and hadron resonance gas model for sNN<39 GeV. Higher moment results of the net-electric charge and net-kaon do not observe any significant nonmonotonic behavior as a function of collision energy. …”

Apoptotic Pathways in Pemphigus by Meryem Bektas, Puneet Jolly, David S. Rubenstein

“…Pemphigus is a group of human autoimmune blistering diseases of the skin in which autoantibodies to desmosome cadherins induce loss of cell-cell adhesion (acantholysis). In addition to steric hindrance and activation of intracellular signaling, apoptosis has been suggested to contribute to the mechanism by which pathogenic IgG induces acantholysis. …”
