Variation Characteristics of Mass-Loss Rate in Dynamic Seepage System of the Broken Rocks by Luzhen Wang, Hailing Kong

“…The results showed that (1) the mass-loss rate was expressed as a time-dependent, exponential function with its coefficient related to the porosity, and its time-varying characteristics were affected by gradation; (2) the time-varying curves with Talbol power exponents less than 0.6 had a rapid change stage and a slow change stage, while the time-varying curves with Talbol power exponents greater than 0.6 had an initial gradual change stage, a rapid change stage and a slow change stage; (3) at the early seepage stage, the mass-loss rate decreased with Talbol power exponent increasing; and (4) after long time seepage, the mass-loss rate was close to zero and unrelated to Talbol power exponent, and the porous structure in broken rocks remained stable with its porosity close to a certain stable value.…”

Scaffold-hopping for molecular glues targeting the 14-3-3/ERα complex by Markella Konstantinidou, Marios Zingiridis, Marloes A. M. Pennings, Michael Fragkiadakis, Johanna M. Virta, Jezrael L. Revalde, Emira J. Visser, Christian Ottmann, Luc Brunsveld, Constantinos G. Neochoritis, Michelle R. Arkin

“…The novel, computationally designed scaffold is based on the Groebke-Blackburn-Bienaymé multi-component reaction (MCR), leading to drug-like analogs with multiple points of variation, thus enabling the rapid derivatization and optimization of the scaffold. Structure-activity relationships (SAR) are developed using orthogonal biophysical assays, such as intact mass spectrometry, TR-FRET and SPR. …”
