Temperature Adaptability of Asphalt Pavement to High Temperatures and Significant Temperature Differences by Xueying Zhao, Aiqin Shen, Baofu Ma

“…Moreover, when rutting depth, maximum shear stress of the asphalt course, deflection on the pavement surface, and compressive strains at the subgrade top surface were taken as the evaluation indices, the adaptability of asphalt pavements using compound base courses had obvious advantage due to their strong absorption and reflection of load impact. The adaptability of seven structures analyzed in this paper decreased in the following order: Str-5 > Str-6 > Str-4 > Str-2 > Str-m > Str-1 > Str-3. …”

Multifunctional Proteins Bridge Mitosis with Motility and Cancer with Inflammation and Arthritis by Jihong Jiang, Rosaely Casalegno-Garduno, Helen Chen, Anita Schmitt, Michael Schmitt, Christopher A. Maxwell

“…In addition to directed nonclassical secretion, a number of leaderless secreted proteins have been classified as damage-associated molecular-pattern (DAMP) molecules, which are nuclear or cytoplasmic proteins that, under necrotic or apoptotic conditions, are released outside the cell and function as proinflammatory signals. A strong association between persistent release of DAMPs, chronic inflammation, and the hypoxic tumor microenvironment has been proposed. …”
