Analytical Derivation of the q-Factor for Slender Masonry Structures Under Out-of-Plane Seismic Action

Buildings
Slender masonry structures, in the absence of disintegration phenomena, can be idealized as rigid bodies subjected to seismic excitation. In this study, a closed-form expression for the behavior factor (q-factor) associated with overturning collapse ...

Therapeutic Apheresis in Nigeria: A Multi‐Center Summary of Abstracts From the Inaugural Nigerian Society for Apheresis Scientific Meeting

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...

Ultrahigh–Q Microtoroid On-Chip Resonators for Low Threshold Microlasers [PDF]

, 2006
Recently demonstrated silica toroidal microcavities, as on-chip resonant cavities, become one of the most promising laser resonators due to their exceptional ability to confine optical energy temporarily and spatially (high Q-factor and small mode volume)

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

A Comparison of Centroid Factor Extraction Methods for Q Methodology [PDF]

, 2020
Q方法論は、定性的手法と定量的手法を利用して主観的な考え（subjectivity）を体系的に研究するアプローチ法である。主成分分析や他の因子分析は計算能力が向上したにも関わらず、重心因子分析はQ方法論の中で重要な役割を果たしている。本論文では、重心因子分析を抽出するためにQ方法論で使用されていない Tucker-MacCallum（T-M）法と、Q方法論で一般的に使用されている手法を比較する。様々なサイズと構造の異なる4つのデータセットを3つの因子抽出法で調べたところ、これら3つの手法は最初の2 ...

Existence of Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors Based on Power Input and Transmission Distance

Journal of the Physical Society of Indonesia
Optical fiber was chosen as a transmission medium because of its ability to transmit data with high power, high speed and low attenuation. Despite these advantages, optical fiber still faces challenges such as attenuation and dispersion which can reduce ...

Air Damping Analysis of a Micro-Coriolis Mass Flow Sensor

Sensors, 2022
A micro-Coriolis mass flow sensor is a resonating device that measures small mass flows of fluid. A large vibration amplitude is desired as the Coriolis forces due to mass flow and, accordingly, the signal-to-noise ratio, are directly proportional to the

Forecasting the Dialysis Burden in Japan: Validation‐Based Projections of Prevalence and Incidence Through 2050

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...
