We present measurements of the vertical stress profile σ on the base of flat-bottomed cylindrical silos discharged through an orifice centered on its base. An overweight forces the material on top of the free surface. The mean bottom pressure σ(z,D,W), with z the height of the granular column, D the silo diameter, and W the mass of the overweight, increases significantly at the end of the discharge. Inspired by early models of stress distribution, we show that σ measured at z=0 can be rescaled to yield a collapse of the data, as a function of z/D, for all D and W explored. We also show that the profile σ(r) is self-similar as a function of the radial coordinate r and can be rescaled to collapse the data for different z,D, and W. Although the model correctly predicts the functional dependences, it fails in quantitative terms. These results challenge our understanding of free and forced granular flows through orifices.

This research delves into the transfer and loss of energy in a discrete mass when subjected to forced vibration. Using discrete element method (DEM), we analyzed the dynamic behavior of regular spherical granular assemblies and the energy distribution characteristics under different excitation frequencies and reduced accelerations. Moreover, the energy transfer and dissipation process of granular assemblies under different vibration states are studied using an experimental method.

The aim of this paper is to explore and assess various strategies for monitoring antimicrobial consumption (AMC) in animals, within the context of the One Health approach. Recent studies have shed light on the limited surveillance and data collection for AMC in animals. Using the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention Policy Analytical Framework, we assess global, national, and farm-level surveillance strategies on public health impact and feasibility using evidence from primary, secondary, and grey literature.

Abnormal pre-transplant pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are associated with reduced survival after allogeneic HCT. Existing scoring systems consider risk dichotomously, attributing risk only to those with abnormal lung function. In a multicenter cohort of 1717 allo-HCT recipients, we examined the association between pre-transplant PFT measures and need for ICU admission (120d), frequency of mechanical ventilation (120d) and overall survival (5 y).

Novel antidepressants are predominantly evaluated preclinically in rodent models of chronic stress in which animals experience a single prolonged exposure to chronic stress prior to treatment. Rodent models of a single episode of chronic stress translate poorly to human depressive disorders, which are commonly marked by recurring depressive episodes. Intravenous administration of Reelin has previously been shown to resolve immobility in the forced swim test of rats exposed to a single prolonged exposure to chronic stress.
