Functional amyloids in Pseudomonas aeruginosa may be involved in the sequestration of the quorum sensing molecules HHQ and PQS under high shear conditions. by Sia, Wan Rong.

“…Results from the investigations revealed that Fap binds to QS molecules at high affinities and was able to retain them under high shear force. Therefore, we propose that Fap has a functional role in sequestering QS molecules under high shear conditions.…”

Effects of hemodynamic shear stress on circulating breast cancer cells by Khairunisa Liyana Abdul Malek

“…The ability of a cancer cell to relocate to a distal location and subsequently form tumours largely depends on its ability to withstand hemodynamic shear stress in the blood vessel. While previous studies have shown that cancer cells have an enhanced resistance towards these intense conditions, little is known whether a tumour cell's metastatic ability is correlated to its ability to survive high shear stress levels over a prolonged period of time. …”

Effect of pore-size distribution on unsaturated shear strength of residual soil from sedimentary Jurong formation by Ong, Weilin.

“…A change in the matric suction in the soil causes a change in water volume in an unsaturated soil, which in turn affects the unsaturated shear strength of the soil. The aim of the project is to investigate the effect of pore-size distribution on unsaturated shear strength of residual soil from Jurong Formation. …”
