The paper provides important developments for the model of anisotropic damage by mesocrack
growth, accounting for unilateral behaviour relative to crack closure (Dragon and Halm, …

Cellular and humoral immunity to SARS-CoV-2 is critical to control primary infection and
correlates with severity of disease. The role of SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell immunity, its …

The present work deals with a continuum model for time-independent behaviour of progressively
fracturing solids. The rate theory with fracture parameter is discussed and applied to …

In the Southern Ocean, mesoscale features, such as fronts and eddies, have been shown to
have a significant impact in structuring and enhancing primary productivity. They are …

Crucial issues concerning non-linear behaviour of quasi-brittle materials like some rocks,
concrete and certain ceramics are addressed in the paper. In fact, inelastic response for this …

This paper recounts the tale of a most vicious dragon that ate thousands of people every day,
and of the actions that the king, the people, and an assembly of dragonologists took with …

The distribution of southern elephant seal Mirounga leonina prey encounter events (PEEs)
was investigated from the foraging behaviour of 29 post-breeding females simultaneously …

When a metal is shocked above its melting pressure or melted on release, the tensile stresses
generated upon reflection of the compressive pulse from a free surface are induced into a …

A three-dimensional model of anisotropic damage by mesocrack growth is first described in
its basic version, employing a second-order tensorial damage variable. The model—…

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered T cells can be highly effective in the treatment
of hematological malignancies, but mostly fail in the treatment of solid tumors. Thus, …
