Dynamic Characteristics of Saturated Silty Soil Ground Treated by Stone Column Composite Foundation by Yongxiang Zhan, Guanlu Jiang, Hailin Yao

“…It is found that at less than 0.161 g loading acceleration, soil between piles has not yet been liquefied, the response acceleration scarcely enlarges, and the shear displacement almost does not appear in silty soil. At 0.252 g loading acceleration, as a result of liquefaction of soil between piles, the response acceleration increases rapidly and reaches its peak, and the shear displacement of silty soil increases significantly. …”

Generalized Scaling of Urban Heat Island Effect and Its Applications for Energy Consumption and Renewable Energy by T.-W. Lee, Heung S. Choi, Jinoh Lee

“…The heating of the urban surfaces during the daytime sets the initial temperature, and this overheating is dissipated during the night-time through mean convection motion over the urban surface. This may appear to be in contrast to the classical work by Oke (1973). …”

Endothelium-Derived Hyperpolarizing Factor and Vascular Function by Muhiddin A. Ozkor, Arshed A. Quyyumi

“…Endothelial hyperpolarization is likely due to several factors that appear to be site and species specific. Experimental studies suggest that the contribution of the EDHFs increase as the vessel size decreases, with a predominance of EDHF activity in the resistance vessels, and a compensatory up-regulation of hyperpolarization in states characterized by reduced NO availability. …”

Suspension of Mitotic Activity in Dentate Gyrus of the Hibernating Ground Squirrel by Victor I. Popov, Igor V. Kraev, Dmitri A. Ignat'ev, Michael G. Stewart

“…However, using an immunohistochemical study of doublecortin (DCX) and BrdU-labelled neurons, we demonstrate that the dentate gyrus of the ground squirrel hippocampus contains a population of immature cells which appear to possess mitotic activity. Our data suggest that doublecortin-labelled immature cells exist in a mitotic state and may represent a renewable pool for generation of new neurons within the dentate gyrus.…”
