A Novel Simplified Physical Model Testing Method for Ground Settlement Induced by Shield Tunnel Excavation by Hanzhang Guo, Guangcheng Zhang, Xiongyao Mao, Jianhang Zan

“…Furthermore, based on the proposed testing method, an orthogonal experiment is designed to investigate the influences of the ground loss ratio, burial depth, and stratum condition on the ground settlement during the construction process. The results indicate that the ground loss ratio caused by the gap during construction excavation has a more significant impact than the tunnel burial depth and ground conditions. …”

Amino acid deprivation triggers a novel GCN2-independent response leading to the transcriptional reactivation of non-native DNA sequences. by Annarosaria De Vito, Massimo Lazzaro, Ilaria Palmisano, Davide Cittaro, Michela Riba, Dejan Lazarevic, Dejan Lazarevic, Makoto Bannai, Davide Gabellini, Maria Vittoria Schiaffino

“…Moreover, we show that the transgene reactivation response is highly conserved in different mammalian cell types, and it is reproducible with deprivation of most essential AAs. The General Control Non-derepressible 2 (GCN2) kinase and the downstream integrated stress response represent the best candidates mediating this process; however, by pharmacological approaches, RNA interference and genomic editing, we demonstrate that they are not implicated. …”
