The role of Tei index as an early predictor for evaluating experimental uremic cardiomyopathy model by Shi Cheng, Wei Lu, Jiarui Xu, Yong Yu, Yi Fang, Xiao Tan, Ruizhen Chen, Bo Shen, Xiaoqiang Ding, Yeqing Xie

“…Results The Tei index was significantly elevated in Nx mice despite preserved cardiac function and structural integrity at 8 weeks post-nephrectomy. A longitudinal follow-up to the 12th week revealed that the Nx mice with higher Tei index (Nx HT) presented distinct features of hemodynamic remodeling, left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction. …”

Exploring the role of edges in surface functionalization and stability of plasma-modified carbon materials: Experimental and DFT insights by Divya Kumar, Marek Białoruski, Witold Piskorz, Andrzej Kotarba

“…Work function was used as a sensitive parameter for monitoring the surface changes (increase by ∼1.4 eV, 1.3 eV, and 1 eV for graphenic paper, HOPG, and graphenic flakes, respectively) while time-dependent measurements revealed distinct kinetic processes governing the decay of functionalization, highlighting the role of surface defects in post-plasma processes. …”

A New Unified Solution for Circular Tunnel Based on a Four-Stage Constitutive Model considering the Intermediate Principal Stress by Liang Chen, Xianbiao Mao, Yanlong Chen, Ming Li, Yang Hao, Ding Liu

“…The parametric studies are also conducted to investigate the effects of supporting resistance, residual cohesion, dilation angle, strain-softening coefficient, plastic shear strain increment, and yield parameter on the result. It is shown that when the supporting resistance is fully released, both the post-peak failure radii and surface displacement could be summarized as EBM > EPBM > ESM > EPSDM > EPM; the dilation angle in the damage zone had the highest influence on the surface displacement, whereas the dilation angle in the perfectly plastic zone had the lowest influence; the strain-softening coefficient had the most significant effect on the damage zone radii; the EPSDM is recommended as the optimum model for support design and stability evaluation of the circular tunnel excavated in the perfectly plastic strain-softening rock mass.…”
