Biochemical processes of tissue growth lead to production of new proteins, cells, and other material particles at the microscopic level. At the macroscopic level, growth is marked by the change of the tissue shape and mass. In addition, the appearance of the new material particles is generally accompanied by deformation and, consequently, stresses in the surrounding material. Built upon a micro...

Genotoxic stresses such as DNA damage or abnormal chromosome segregation induced by various extrinsic or intrinsic factors often take place in all kinds of cells, which play important roles in tumorigenesis. Organisms have developed many molecular mechanisms regarding these genotoxic stresses during the evolutional progress. Protein postmodifications such as phosphorylation or sumoylation have ...

In this paper, the effects of horizontal stress and dimensions of barrier pillars on the stability of drifts hr been investigated. An elastoplastic hybrid finite/boundary element program has been used. A plastic analysis of stresses in barrier pillars above the drifts in one of the underground coal mines with inclined seams is examined. Computed stresses and safety factor controur lines around ...
