Pore-scale simulation of fine particles migration in porous media using coupled CFD-DEM by Elrahmani, Ahmed

“…The time required to develop bridging and subsequent clogging of the pore space that lead to permeability reduction decreases as the flow velocity increases. The size of the fine particles has a significant impact on permeability reduction where the reduction in permeability increases as the size of particles increases. …”

Locations of Temporary Distribution Facilities for Emergency Response Planning by Pradhananga, Rojee

“…However, prepositioned facilities may be small in numbers and distribution of resources to the affected area may require additional funds for transportation and other overhead costs. In such a case, distribution of resources through a number of temporary facilities, located near the demand centers can significantly improve the distribution process thereby decreasing the supply response time. …”

L5 Spinal Nerve Axotomy Induces Distinct Electrophysiological Changes in Axotomized L5- and Adjacent L4-Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons in Rats . by Djouhri, Laiche

“…Consistent with this hypothesis, we found (7 days post-SNA), in SNA rats with established pain hypersensitivity, slower AP kinetics in axotomized L5-neurons and faster AP kinetics in L4-nociceptive neurons including decreased rise time in Aδ-and Aβ-fiber nociceptors, and after-hyperpolarization duration in Aβ-fiber nociceptors. …”

Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) promotes survival of lymphoma cells via activation of WNT/B-catenin and AKT/GSK3B proliferative signaling by Chung, Jihyun

“…We show that PRMT5 stimulates WNT/B-CATENIN signaling through direct epigenetic silencing of pathway antagonists, AXIN2 and WIF1, and indirect activation of AKT/GSK3 signaling.PRMT5 inhibition with either shRNA-mediated knockdown or a specific small molecule PRMT5 inhibitor, CMP-5, not only leads to derepression of WNT antagonists and decreased levels of active phospho-AKT (Thr-450 and Ser-473) and inactive phospho- GSK3B (Ser-9) but also results in decreased transcription of WNT/B-CATENIN target genes, CYCLIN D1, c-MYC, and SURVIVIN, and enhanced lymphoma cell death. …”
