A Discrete‐Element‐Based Pore‐Scale Hydromechanical Approach to Investigate the Hysteresis Effect on the Unsaturated At‐Rest Earth Pressure Coefficient by Hossein Ansari, Ghassem Habibagahi, Ehsan Nikooee

“…The results indicate that the earth pressure coefficient is highly dependent on the hydraulic path as well as the drying–wetting cycles, where a considerable reduction in the degree of hysteresis in K0 was observed during the second cycle of drying–wetting and this reduction is more prominent in the samples of lower density.…”

Beyond “Maria”: Charting a Course for Maternal Health Equity by Wendy Post

“…Innovative approaches, including obstetric decompensation scoring tools like the Obstetric Early Warning Score and Maternal Early Warning Score (OEWS) and Maternal Early Warning Trigger systems, are strongly advocated. These predictive technologies, when integrated into electronic medical records, generate real-time alerts that enable clinicians to proactively mitigate complications before they escalate. …”

Benchmarking residue-resolution protein coarse-grained models for simulations of biomolecular condensates. by Alejandro Feito, Ignacio Sanchez-Burgos, Ignacio Tejero, Eduardo Sanz, Antonio Rey, Rosana Collepardo-Guevara, Andrés R Tejedor, Jorge R Espinosa

“…In this study, we systematically compare six state-of-the-art sequence-dependent residue-resolution models to evaluate their performance in reproducing the phase behaviour and material properties of condensates formed by seven variants of the low-complexity domain (LCD) of the hnRNPA1 protein (A1-LCD)-a protein implicated in the pathological liquid-to-solid transition of stress granules. Specifically, we assess the HPS, HPS-cation-π, HPS-Urry, CALVADOS2, Mpipi, and Mpipi-Recharged models in their predictions of the condensate saturation concentration, critical solution temperature, and condensate viscosity of the A1-LCD variants. …”
