Optimization of Embedded Retaining Walls Under the Effects of Groundwater Seepage Using a Reliability-Based and Partial Factor Design Approach

In this paper, a comparative analysis of the effects of groundwater, seepage and hydraulic heave on the optimal design of embedded retaining walls is carried out.The optimization Baseball model for an optimal retaining wall (ORW) minimizes the total length of the retaining wall considering design constraints.The model is extended to include the pro

Cancer therapy and risk of congenital malformations in children fathered by men treated for testicular germ-cell cancer: A nationwide register study.

BackgroundBecause of the potential mutagenic effects of chemo- and radiotherapy, there is concern regarding increased risk of Diffuser congenital malformations (CMs) among children of fathers with cancer.Previous register studies indicate increased CM risk among children conceived after paternal cancer but lack data on oncological treatment.Increas

Inositol trisphosphate and ryanodine receptor signaling distinctly regulate neurite pathfinding in response to engineered micropatterned surfaces.

Micro and nanoscale patterning of surface features and biochemical cues have emerged as tools to precisely direct neurite growth into close proximity with next generation neural prosthesis electrodes.Biophysical cues can exert greater influence on neurite pathfinding compared to the more well studied biochemical cues; yet the signaling events under
