The discovery of a conjugate system of faults in the Wharton Basin intraplate deformation zone by Singh, Satish Chandra, Hananto, Nugroho, Qin, Yanfang, Leclerc, Frederique, Avianto, Praditya, Tapponnier, Paul E., Carton, Helene, Wei, Shengji, Nugroho, Adam B., Gemilang, Wishnu A., Sieh, Kerry, Barbot, Sylvain

“…Using high-resolution bathymetry and seismic reflection data, we report the discovery of new N294°E-striking shear zones, oblique to the plate fabric. These shear zones are expressed by sets of normal faults striking at N335°E, defining the direction of the principal compressional stress in the region. …”

Non-slipping adhesive contact between dissimilar elastic solids under normal and tangential loads by Ma, L, Chen, Y, Hills, DA

“…Specifically, (i) the shear-off force of adhesive contact is proposed; (ii) the effect of tangential load on the puff-off force is presented; (iii) the influence of the normal load on the shear-off force is obtained; (iv) in the context of these results, the nominal static friction coefficient is defined and analyzed, and it is shown that the static friction coefficient is a function of external normal load, which can well explain some experimental results in the literature. …”

HIV decision support : from molecule to man by Sloot, Peter M. A., Coveney, P. V., Muller, V., Boucher, Charles A. B., Ertaylan, Gokhan, Bubak, Marian

“…Effective highly active antiretroviral therapy and the availability of genetic screening of patient virus data have led to sustained viral suppression and higher life expectancy in patients who have been infected with HIV. The sheer complexity of the disease stems from the multiscale and highly dynamic nature of the system under study. …”

Impact of structural eurocodes on steel and composite structures by Jin, Y. F., Cai, Y. Q., Chiew, Sing Ping, Lee, Chi King

“…It is found that the flexural buckling resistance, web bearing and buckling resistance and lateral-torsional buckling resistance determined from Eurocodes 3 and 4 are much larger than those from BS5950. However, for shear buckling resistance of plated structures, Eurocode 3 produced a lower value compared to BS5950, and for shear resistance of headed stud, Eurocode 4 produced a lower value compared to BS5950-3.1.…”

‘On-demand’ soft tissue adhesives by Mogal, Vishal Tukaram

“…When compared to non-treated polyester thin films, plasma intensity could give rise to a ~ 6-fold (for 100 W, 5 min.) increase in shear adhesion strength (157 ± 24 mN/cm2). Shear adhesion was 5-fold higher than L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine-based mussel adhesives tested on similar biomaterials. …”
