A NEW OCEAN ROCK MASS RATING AND ITS APPLICATION TO DETERMINE THE ULTIMATE BEARING CAPACITY OF AN OFFSHORE WIND MONOPILE FOUNDATION

A New Ocean Rock Mass Rating and Its Application to Determine the Ultimate Bearing Capacity of an Offshore Wind Monopile Foundation

Offshore wind power is a new trend in renewable energy development.However, during the operation of offshore wind turbines, the rock-socketed monopile foundation is subjected to long-term cyclic loads, which will cause the seawater to erode the rock around the monopile foundation and reduce the ultimate end-bearing capacity.There is no suitable roc

The first blush of tasting: Porcellio scaber isopod and Enchytraeus albidus enchytraeid prefer the leaf litter of invasive over native plant species

The establishment of invasive plants is a very serious threat from an ecological point of view, through decreasing biodiversity and a changing ecosystem, which affect decomposition processes.We carried out no-choice feeding experiments with Porcellio scaber and Enchytraeus albidus individuals.Three different plant species (Acer platanoides as milwa

Assessment of Treatment Plan Quality between Flattening Filter and Flattening Filter Free Photon Beam for Carcinoma of the Esophagus with IMRT Technique

Background: As compared to the flattened photon beam, removing the flattening filter (FF) from the head of a gantry decreases the average energy of the photon beam and increases the dose rate, leading to an impact on the quality of treatment plans.Objective: This study aimed to compare the quality of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) tre

BEBT-109, a pan-mutant-selective EGFR inhibitor with potent antitumor activity in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer

EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC tumors are highly heterogeneous, therefore, exploring an agent simultaneously targeting multiple EGFR mutations may be valuable for clinical practice.Compared with osimertinib, BEBT-109 shows more sensitive and extensive antitumor activity in EGFR perdieme lingerie mutant NSCLC, while sparing wild-type EGFR cell lines.M
