The stiffness and damping of pile foundations are proposed, which vary with the ratio of shear modulus Gi / Go to indicate the nonlinear properties of soil. The range of Gi / Go is defined with different vibration intensities for applications, and a computer program DYNAN is available based on the boundary zone model with non-reflective interface. Two engineering cases are studied to illustrate...

In response to interleukin 6 (IL-6) stimulation, both CD45RO and CD45RB, but not CD45RA, translocate to lipid rafts. However, the significance of this distinct translocation and the downstream signals in CD45 isoforms-participated IL-6 signal are not well understood. Using sucrose fractionation, we found that phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)3 and STAT1 were...

In this study, the effects of using detergent with boron and softener on repetitive washing towel loincloths were investigated. For aim, two types as light heavy weight loincloth one side piled non-piled washed at 10 20 cycles by only ecofriendly both softener. Then, density changes, liquid wicking transfer properties, tear strength whiteness index values fabric samples determined after cycles....

Ganglioside GM1-bound cholera toxin-B sub-unit (CT-b) enters the cell via clathrin-coated pits and dynamin-independent non-caveolar raft-dependent endocytosis. Caveolin-1 (Cav1), associated with caveolae formation, is a negative regulator of non-caveolar raft-dependent endocytosis. In mammary epithelial tumour cells deficient for Mgat5, Cav1 is stably expressed at levels below the threshold for...

This work is a numerical investigation of the effect thermally induced volumetric collapse normally consolidated clays on performance energy piles. A series coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical Finite Element simulations were carried out using commercial software ABAQUS. These examined single free-head pile embedded in clay layer subjected to constant mechanical load and number heating/cooling cycle...

Cell signaling does not occur randomly over the cell surface, but is integrated within cholesterol-enriched membrane domains, termed rafts. By targeting SHP-2 to raft domains or to a non-raft plasma membrane fraction, we studied the functional role of rafts in signaling. Serum-depleted, nonattached cells expressing the raft SHP-2 form, but not non-raft SHP-2, display signaling events resembling...
