TL;DR: Mendelian randomisation analysis supports causal roles for several HF risk factors, and demonstrates CAD-independent effects for atrial fibrillation, body mass index, and hypertension.

TL;DR: In this article, some issues related to hydraulic fracturing have been reviewed, including the experimental study, field study and numerical simulation, and the existing problems that need to be solved on the subject of hydraulic fracturing has been proposed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the three-dimensional surface crack initiation and propagation in two kinds of heterogeneous rocks via parallel finite element analysis using a supercomputer and demonstrated that the further propagation of wing cracks and shell-like cracks stop due to their wrapping (curving) behavior in 3D spaces, even if applied loads continue to increase.

TL;DR: In this paper, a discrete element method is developed to simulate the heat transfer in granular assemblies in vacuum with consideration of the thermal resistance of rough contact surfaces, and the average heat flux is formulated by the positions and heat flow rates of particles on the boundaries of the granular assembly.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an optimum deformation path for tubular hydroforming, the hydroforming limit of isotropic and anisotropic tubes subjected to internal hydraulic pressure, independent axial load or torque, based on the Hill's general theory for the uniqueness to the boundary value problem.
