Synthetic Retinoid Sulfarotene Selectively Inhibits Tumor‐Repopulating Cells of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma via Disrupting Cytoskeleton by P‐Selectin/PSGL1 N‐Glycosylation Bloc... by Xiaojing Du, Zhuoran Qi, Sinuo Chen, Jinlan Wu, Ye Xu, Sunkuan Hu, Zhijie Yu, Jiayun Hou, Yuan Fang, Jinglin Xia, Xin Cao

“…These actions collectively inhibit ICC‐TRCs via destroying PSGL1‐regulated cytoskeleton. The findings provide a strategy of inhibiting P‐selectin/PSGL1 interaction and altering PSGL1 glycosylation pattern to compromise the cytoskeletal integrity and eliminate ICC‐TRCs.…”

The Destruction and Reconstruction of North Korea, 1950 - 1960 by Charles Armstrong

“…The physical destruction and loss of life on both sides was almost beyond comprehension, but the North suffered the greater damage, due to American saturation bombing and the scorched-earth policy of the retreating UN forces.1 The US Air Force estimated that North Korea's destruction was proportionately greater than that of Japan in the Second World War, where the US had turned 64 major cities to rubble and used the atomic bomb to destroy two others. American planes dropped 635,000 tons of bombs on Korea -- that is, essentially on North Korea --including 32,557 tons of napalm, compared to 503,000 tons of bombs dropped in the entire Pacific theatre of World War II.2 The number of Korean dead, injured or missing by war's end approached three million, ten percent of the overall population. …”

Pick-Up and Delivery Problem for Sequentially Consolidated Urban Transportation with Mixed and Multi-Pupropse Vehicle Fleet by Haoye Chen, Jonas Hatzenbühler, Erik Jenelius

“…We investigate the performance of the ALNS algorithm by analyzing convergence and selection probabilities of the heuristic solution that destroy and repair operators. On 15 large-size instances, we compare results for pure SV, pure MV, and mixed fleets, showing that the introduction of MVs can allow smaller fleet sizes while approximately keeping the same total travel distance as for pure SVs.…”

Numerical Studies of Floor Heave Control in Deep Mining Roadways with Soft Rocks by the Rock Bolts Reinforcement Technology by Ivan Sakhno, Svitlana Sakhno

“…The post-peak strain regions appear in the bottom corners of the roadway, after which strata in the immediate floor are destroyed one by one. The joint spacing of 0.45 m on the immediate floor is critical. …”

Particle Flow Analysis of Acoustic Emission Features of Rock under Rock Burst Stress Path by Yalei Wang, Jinming Xu

“…It shows that the unloading direction of rock may produce strong dilatation deformation during rock burst; with the increase of confining pressure, the more obvious dilatation deformation and the more possibility of serious rock burst to occur; the unloading failure of rock reveals that rock burst is a mixed failure of tensile and shear, and the tensile cracks account for about 70%; the number of AE events of rock unloading failure occur at the top and bottom of the rock first and then expand rapidly to the middle part until the rock is completely destroyed; in the process of rock burst, AE rupture strength is relatively concentrated, the number of AE events surge obviously, and the number of AE events in surge period account for more than 80% of all AE events. …”

CONTEMPORARY EUROSCEPTICISM AS A CHALLENGE TO EUROPEAN SOLIDARITY by M. O. Shibkova

“…At the outset of the integration project construction the advantage of the Old Continent unification after being destroyed by the Second World War was apparent. However, with the European Union transformation and the emergence of new challenges, Eurosceptic voices are becoming louder and an increasing number of states start to question the efficiency of supranational institutions and choose to take measures on their own. …”

Building Coastal Dunes with Sea Oats and Surrogate Wrack by Natalie Hooton, Debbie L. Miller, Mack Thetford, Sean Claypool

“…Sea oats build dunes by capturing blowing sand and stabilizing it, and they’re often planted after dunes have been eroded, fragmented, or destroyed. Managers have tried commercial fertilizers and water-absorbing gels to ensure planted sea oats survive and thrive, but these products are not always effective and can be expensive. …”

Time-Frequency Characteristics of Acoustic Emission Signals on Water-Bearing Sandstone Specimen Subjected to Conventional Uniaxial Compression by Hui-qiang Duan, Ming-tao Gao, Hong-yu Yan

“…The main achievements are as follows: (1) The violent fluctuation of AE time domain parameters indicates that the water-bearing sandstone specimen is about to be destroyed. This characteristic provides a theoretical basis for predicting the failure of water-bearing rock in engineering practice. (2) In the elastic phase, the AE b value is the lowest but has a sudden increase after falling into the steady crack propagation phase. …”

Experimental Study on Acoustic Emission Characteristics of Granite and Sandstone under Uniaxial Compression by Yongshuai Sun, Fei Yu, Jianguo Lv

“…The results of the study are as follows: there is a quiet zone in the acoustic emission event before the rock is destroyed and destabilized, and the higher the rock strength, the more obvious the quiet zone; this important feature can be used as a precursor feature of rock mass failure for prediction, and the rock acoustic emission energy rate is more obvious in the quiet area before destruction than the acoustic emission event rate; rock acoustic emission has experienced initial compaction zone, rising zone, peak zone, and descending zone, whether different rocks go through each stage and how long each stage lasts is related to the nature of the rock; under different loading methods, the failure mechanism of rock is different; the different loading rates of monotonic loading and grading loading will affect the change rate of acoustic emission.…”
