Longitudinal shear behaviour in composite slab with profiled steel decking by Ang, Yi Wen

“…Composite slabs with profiled sheeting are broadly used in steel framed structures throughout the world. Its shear behaviour is a complex phenomenon to be explored, and hence, experimental and theoretical studies are carried out to investigate its shear strength under imposed flexural loading to evaluate using m-k method, Partial Interaction method and Force Equilibrium method. …”

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. …”

Effects of internet cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia and internet sleep hygiene education on sleep quality and executive function among medical students in Malaysia: protocol for a randomized controlled trial by Mariappan, Vijandran, Mukhtar, Firdaus

“…Background: Medical students are frequently affected by poor sleep quality. Since poor sleep quality has negative physiological and psychological consequences such as on executive function, there is an opportunity to improve sleep quality and executive functions using non-pharmacological intervention such as cognitive behavioural therapy. …”

Rapidly yawing spheroids in viscous shear flow: emergent loss of symmetry by Dalwadi, M

“…We investigate the emergent three-dimensional (3D) dynamics of a rapidly yawing spheroidal swimmer interacting with a viscous shear flow. We show that the rapid yawing generates non axisymmetric emergent effects, with the active swimmer behaving as an effective passive particle with two orthogonal planes of symmetry. …”

Anomalous crystalline ordering of particles in a viscoelastic fluid under high shear by Sun, Sijie, Xue, Nan, Aime, Stefano, Kim, Hyoungsoo, Tang, Jizhou, McKinley, Gareth H., Stone, Howard A., Weitz, David A.

“…Addition of particles to a viscoelastic suspension dramatically alters the properties of the mixture, particularly when it is sheared or otherwise processed. Shear-induced stretching of the polymers results in elastic stress that causes a substantial increase in measured viscosity with increasing shear, and an attractive interaction between particles, leading to their chaining. …”
