ABSTRACT Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major health burden globally and in China, where 3%–5% of cases involve the BRAFV600E mutation, which is associated with aggressive disease and therefore a poor prognosis. Although the combination of encorafenib and cetuximab has demonstrated improved survival in BRAFV600E mutant metastatic CRC (mCRC ...

Issued as a Documentation Report on an Investigation of Field-Made Joints in Prestressed Reinforced Concrete Highway Girder Bridges, Project IHR-303, Phase 2 [PDF]
A prototype bridge girder was designed, built, and tested. The 250 ft long two-span girder was made of 3 precast segments about 88, 74, and 88 ft in length. The segments were supported on 3 final and 2 temporary supports.

Scaled tree fractals do not strictly self-assemble
In this paper, we show that any scaled-up version of any discrete self-similar {\it tree} fractal does not strictly self-assemble, at any temperature, in Winfree's abstract Tile Assembly Model.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figures, Appeared in the Proceedings of ...

ABSTRACT Accurate mechanical characterization of civil engineering structures after construction remains challenging due to the unique complexities of each structure, including geometric configurations, imperfect design modeling assumptions, soil conditions, and pervasive uncertainties in actual operational environments. Leveraging actual measurements,

Dynamic stiffness analysis of bridge abutments [PDF]
Strong motion records obtained in instrumented short-span bridges show the importance of the abutments in the dynamic response of the structure. Existing models study the pier foundation influence but not the abutment performance.

Evaluation of the Need for Longitudinal Median Joints in Bridge Decks on Dual Structures, TR-661, 2015 [PDF]
The primary objective of this project was to determine the effect of bridge width on deck cracking in bridges. Other parameters, such as bridge skew, girder spacing and type, abutment type, pier type, and number of bridge spans, were also studied.
