FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.ERα splice variant ERα∆7 lacks the C‐terminus, and its expression may change phenotypes of breast cancers. Our results showed that ERα∆7 is found in the luminal A subtype, and elevated ERα∆7 levels are linked to improved cell survival with lower proliferation and migration.

Performance of two-way hinges in reinforced concrete structures
Magazine of Civil Engineering, 2021 Two-way hinges are frequently practiced in bridge columns aiming to avoid the transfer of bending moment to the foundation. The reduction of the concrete column section over a very small height portion is mainly sufficient to create a hinge like behavior.

A Topology Optimization Framework for the Inverse Design of Nonlinear Mechanical Metamaterials
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This work uses topology optimization to design unit cells for mechanical metamaterials with a prescribed nonlinear stress–strain response. The framework adds contact and postbuckling modeling to synthesize microstructures for three highly nonlinear responses, including pseudoductile behavior, monostable with snap‐through buckling, and bistable ...

New empirical stiffness equations for corner-filleted flexure hinges [PDF]
Mechanical Sciences, 2013 This paper investigates the existing stiffness equations for corner-filleted flexure hinges. Three empirical stiffness equations for corner-filleted flexure hinges (each fillet radius, r, equals to 0.1 l; l, the length of a corner-filleted flexure hinge)
