Study on the Influencing Factors of Grouting Anchorage for Self-Drilling Bolts in Sandy Pebble Strata by Xiaojuan Gao, Mingchong Zhao, Chaosheng Wang, Xianglin Chen, Yugang Zhang

“…The results demonstrate that: fine particle content exerts the most significant impact on anchoring performance, with higher content reducing peak pullout resistance; the grout diffusion radius exhibits a positive correlation with grouting pressure but a negative correlation with drilling speed and grout viscosity, with viscosity having the strongest influence, followed by pressure and speed; the diffusion pattern follows a gradually decreasing trend along the drilling direction, while the radius increases at a diminishing rate with elevated pressure; when viscosity ranges from 83.3 to 833.3 mPa·s, the diffusion radius decreases by 72%; and multivariate regression analysis indicates a power function relationship between the diffusion radius and these three parameters.…”

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia virulence and specific variations in trace elements during acute lung infection: implications in cystic fibrosis. by Arianna Pompilio, Domenico Ciavardelli, Valentina Crocetta, Ada Consalvo, Roberta Zappacosta, Carmine Di Ilio, Giovanni Di Bonaventura

“…Overall, our data clearly indicate that S. maltophilia modulates pulmonary metal balance in a concerted and virulence-dependent manner highlighting the potential role of the element dyshomeostasis during the progression of S. maltophilia infection, probably exacerbating the harmful effects of the loss of CF transmembrane conductance regulator function. Further investigations are required to understand the biological significance of these alterations and to confirm they are specifically caused by S. maltophilia.…”

Sensory modulation difficulties and complex PTSD among child abuse survivors by Nitzan Avigail Kidra, Lee Gafter, Tami Bar-Shalita, Yael Lahav

“…However, previous research has primarily explored the relationship between sensory modulation and PTSD, without examining the role of sensory modulation in both PTSD and CPTSD.Objective: This study aimed to bridge this knowledge gap by exploring (1) sensory modulation response patterns as a function of a history of CA; (2) the relationships between sensory modulation, PTSD, and disturbances in self-organization (DSO) in CA survivors; and (3) The role of sensory modulation response patterns in the likelihood of being diagnosed with PTSD or CPTSD.Method: An online survey was conducted among a convenience sample of Israeli female adults (n = 426), including 288 (67.6%) CA survivors and 138 (32.4%) participants without a history of CA. …”
