Seismic retrofitting of timber framed walls
Materiales de Construccion, 2014 After the 1755 earthquake that destroyed Lisbon, an innovative anti-seismic structural system was developed consisting of a timber skeleton, that included timber framed masonry walls. After more than 250 years these structures need rehabilitation to face

Investigation of Heart Valve Dynamics: A Fluid-Structure Interaction Approach
FluidsThis study presents a numerical investigation into the heart valve through a fluid–structure interaction (FSI) framework using a two-dimensional, steady-state, Newtonian flow assumption. While simplified, this approach captures core biomechanical effects

Research on Quasi-Elastic–Plastic Optimization of Reinforced Concrete Frame–Shear Wall Structures
BuildingsPrecise determination of structural elastic–plastic displacement and component states under rare earthquakes is crucial for structural design. This article proposes a quasi-elastic–plastic optimization method for reinforced concrete structures. First, an

Lysyl oxidase (LOX)‐mediated remodeling of the extracellular matrix
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The lysyl oxidase (LOX) family of enzymes drives extracellular matrix remodeling by oxidizing collagen, elastin, and fibronectin, promoting covalent cross‐link formation. This activity regulates tissue architecture and mechanical properties, while its dysregulation contributes to fibrosis, cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, connective tissue disorders ...
