Slope stability formulae for rubble mound structures are usually developed for head-on conditions.Often, the effects of oblique waves are neglected, mainly because it is assumed that for oblique wave attack, the reduction in damage compared to perpendicular wave attack is insignificant.When the incident waves are oblique, the required armour size c
The implication of targeting PD-1:PD-L1 pathway in treating sepsis through immunostimulatory and anti-inflammatory pathways
Sepsis currently remains a major contributor to mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU), with 48.9 million cases reported globally and a mortality rate of 22.5% in 2017, accounting for almost 20% of all-cause mortality worldwide.This highlights the urgent need to improve the understanding and treatment of this condition.Sepsis is now recognized
Causes of residential mobility and Turkey practice
Residential mobility is an economic and social recovery process that determines urban growth and regional development.The urban population relocates due to the events in their lives or their dissatisfaction with the conditions.Such individual movements play a role in the construction of urban geography.The aim of the present study was to discuss th
A Solitary Wave-Based Sensor to Monitor the Setting of Fresh Concrete
We present a proof-of-principle study about the use of a sensor for the nondestructive monitoring of strength development in hydrating concrete.The nondestructive evaluation technique is based on the propagation of highly nonlinear solitary waves (HNSWs), which are non-dispersive mechanical waves that can form and travel in highly nonlinear systems
