Mechanical behavior of coal and rock with central hole defects under eccentric loading conditions by Lina Ge, Jiajia Feng, Zhixuan Jia, Tao Wang

“…When the hole defects are located within the loaded area, the main control cracks formed pass through the hole defects, and when the hole defects are located outside the loaded area, the main control cracks do not pass through the hole defects. The evolution process of the number of microcracks in concrete under uniformly distributed load and eccentric load conditions can be divided into three stages: the calm period in the initial loading stage, the pre peak propagation period from the crack initiation point to the peak point, and the rapid increase period after the peak.…”

BOOK REVIEW: Schaik, Carel van – Michel, Kai: „The Good Book of Human Nature: An Evolutionary Reading of the Bible”. Hachette Book Group; USA; 2016; 480 pages; ISBN: 0465074707... by Kristóf LEGÉNDY

“…They examine the Bible as a historical record of the cultural evolution of Homo sapiens. Their basic thesis is that the texts of the Bible came into being during the cultural evolution from a hunter-gatherer way of life to a settled agricultural lifestyle, even if they were not composed as a direct result of the revolution of farming (as the two events were thousands of years apart). …”

DiffInvex identifies evolutionary shifts in driver gene repertoires during tumorigenesis and chemotherapy by Ahmed Khalil, Fran Supek

“…We develop DiffInvex, a framework for identifying changes in selection acting on individual genes in somatic genomes, drawing on an empirical mutation rate baseline derived from non-coding DNA that accounts for shifts in neutral mutagenesis during cancer evolution. We apply DiffInvex to >11,000 somatic whole-genome sequences from ~30 cancer types or healthy tissues, identifying genes where point mutations are under conditional positive or negative selection during exposure to specific chemotherapeutics, suggesting drug resistance mechanisms occurring via point mutation. …”
