This investigation aimed to develop a simplified semi-empirical method of assessing the
deformation of tunnels laterally adjacent to excavations. A finite element analysis using the …

Caffeic acid (CA), a derivative of cinnamic acid, exists in various vegetables and fruits.
Natural compounds as beneficial antioxidants play an important role in the research of …

Real-time monitoring of the development of atherosclerosis (AS) is key to the management
of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, existing laboratory approaches lack sensitivity …

This study focuses on the stability of stone column-supported and geosynthetic-reinforced
embankments on soft soil. An upper-bound limit state plasticity failure discretization scheme (…

Prior investigations have revealed that the stress characteristics of columns at different
locations beneath an embankment vary. A failed column releases stress and causes significant …

The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway is
pivotal in immunotherapy. Several agonists and inhibitors of the cGAS-STING pathway have …

To advance the exploration of mechanisms underlying natural multi‐gated ion channels, a
novel butterfly‐shaped biomimetic K + channel GnC7 (n = 3, 4) is developed with dual …

Rigid columns are commonly employed in soft clay embankment construction due to their
high shear and bending capacities. However, conventional design methods often oversimplify …

This paper provides a review of the NTIRE 2026 challenge on mobile real-world image
super-resolution, highlighting the proposed solutions and the resulting outcomes. The challenge …

Microplastics can act as vectors of chemical contaminants in aquatic environments, but the
extent to which this phenomenon contributes to chemical exposure in marine organisms …
