Performance of vertical drains in liquefaction mitigation under structures
Abstract: Several techniques have been developed in order to mitigate damage to buildings during and after liquefaction events. Benefits of using vertical drains have been verified by analysing their performance in the soil and...

Numerical modelling of structures adjacent to retaining walls subjected to earthquake loading
X Guan, GSP Madabhushi
Dec 05, 2020
In an urban environment, it is often necessary to locate structures close to existing retaining walls due to congestion in space. When such structures are in seismically active zones, the dynamic loading attracted by the...

LEAP-GWU-2015
As part of the LEAP-GWU-2015 exercise, a dynamic centrifuge test was conducted at the University of Cambridge on a 5° slope of medium dense Ottawa F-65 sand. The model preparation and saturation details are presented in this...

Making urinary extracellular vesicles a clinically tractable source of biomarkers for inherited tubulopathies using a small volume precipitation method
Biomarkers of inherited tubulopathies would be useful for clarifying diagnoses in patients where genetic screening is not readily available or where disease-attributable mutations are not found. Urinary extracellular vesicles...

Modelling water use efficiency in a dynamic environment
Intrinsic water use efficiency (Wi), the ratio of net CO2 assimilation (A) over stomatal conductance to water vapour (gs), is a complex trait used to assess plant performance. Improving Wi could lead in theory to higher...

Incidence of surrogacy in the USA and Israel and implications on women's health
PURPOSE: Gestational surrogacy (GS) has been researched in multiple qualitative studies. In contrast, quantitative aspects of the practice are conspicuously understudied. The present article assesses and compares the incidence...

Towards comprehensive annotation of Drosophila melanogaster enzymes in FlyBase.
The catalytic activities of enzymes can be described using Gene Ontology (GO) terms and Enzyme Commission (EC) numbers. These annotations are available from numerous biological databases and are routinely accessed by researchers...

Effector gene birth in plant parasitic nematodes
Plant pathogens and parasites are a major threat to global food security. Plant parasitism has arisen four times independently within the phylum Nematoda, resulting in at least one parasite of every major food crop in the world....

Griscelli Syndrome Type 2 Sine Albinism
Griscelli syndrome type 2 (GS-2) is an inborn error of immunity characterized by partial albinism and episodes of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). It is caused by RAB27A mutations that encode RAB27A, a member of the Rab...
