Death on the slopes

چکیده
Introduction The field of cell-death research has matured since pioneering discoveries showed that apoptosis is regulated genetically. Although many of the core caspase-signalling pathways are known, some of the most basic aspects of the biochemistry of mitochondrial apoptosis induction have remained elusive and are, in certain cases, controversial. Research on the metabolic dysfunction that occurs in cancer cells has led to the emergence of new drug targets, and recent studies have identified novel cell-death pathways. These exciting developments were discussed at the recent Keystone Symposium on Cell Death Pathways in Whistler, Canada. Many elegant studies were presented at the meeting; unfortunately, we cover only a few key topics here owing to space limitations. This report highlights presentations on the connections between cell death and mitochondrial dynamics, metabolism and cancer, and non-apoptotic cell death.

Investigation of the Bed and Structural Slopes on Bed Shear Stress and Flow Characteristics around an Impermeable Groyne
In this paper, effects of the cross shore and groyne wall slopes on flow parameters around an impermeable groyne were considered using a three-dimensional numerical CFD model (i.e., FLUENT). The k-ε turbulence model was used to evaluate the Reynolds stresses. The model was first applied to a vertical groyne on a flat bed and the model results were compared with the relevant experimental data. T...
متن کاملHydraulic Jump over Negative Slopes with Negative Steps
Many studies have been conducted on the characteristics of hydraulic jumps over horizontal basins. On sloping basins, however, few such studies have been performed so that the issue requires more investigation. A significant number of studies has also been conducted on basins with positive slopes but comparatively few have been carried out on basins with negative slopes. This study was carried ...

متن کاملA Numerical Analysis on the Performance of Counterweight Balance on the Stability of Undercut Slopes
One of the important parameters in undercut slopes design is the determination of the maximum stable undercut span. The maximum stable undercut span is a function of slope geometry, the strength parameters of the slope material, condition of discontinuities, underground water condition, etc. However, the desired production capacity and therefore the size of excavating equipment will sometimes a...
متن کاملStudy of Reinforced Slopes Safety Factor Using the Inclined Slices Method
Stability of reinforced slopes is almost always carried out using limit equilibrium methods and controlled by the shear strengths of the slope materials and the extension force of reinforcements. According to limit equilibrium methods, the stability of slopes is assessed by dividing the whole failure wedge into several vertical elements. In order to determine the safety factor of the reinforce...
متن کاملEffects of Weak Layer Angle and Thickness on the Stability of Rock Slopes
This paper researches two key factors (angle and thickness) of a weak layer in relation to their influencing mechanism on slope stability. It puts forward the sliding surface angle and morphological model criteria for the control of rock slopes and realization of its failure mechanism. By comparing the Failure Modes and Safety Factors (Fs) obtained from numerical analysis, the influence pattern...
