Validity analysis on merged and averaged data using within and between analysis: focus on effect of qualitative social capital on self-rated health [PDF]

open access: yesEpidemiology and Health, 2016
OBJECTIVES: With an increasing number of studies highlighting regional social capital (SC) as a determinant of health, many studies are using multi-level analysis with merged and averaged scores of community residents’ survey responses calculated from ...

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

Investigation on Seismic Performance of Bridge with Self-centering Friction Dampers

open access: yes工程科学与技术, 2018
Seismic isolation has been already applied in bridges widely. It will inevitably cause large post-earthquake residual displacement between bridge superstructure and substructure.

The ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy as guardians of the cellular proteome

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This Perspective covers the three principles governing the crosstalk between the ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy in cellular proteostasis: (1) a shared ubiquitin code routing substrates via shuttle factors or autophagy receptors; (2) spatial compartmentalization into phase‐separated degradation hubs and organelle‐specific modules (exemplified

Seismic behavior and shear capacity calculation of a new type of self-centering steel-concrete composite joint

open access: yesReviews on Advanced Materials Science
Based on post-earthquake resilience principles, this study proposes a novel self-centering steel-concrete composite joint. The joint employs prestressed connections, where an assembled column with an embedded steel sleeve in the core region is connected ...

Seismic design and performance of building structures with self-centering steel-concrete hybrid single-pier coupled walls

open access: yesResilient Cities and Structures
In response to the demand for seismic-resilient structures, various innovative solutions have emerged to reduce local damage and residual deformations, facilitating repair operations in the aftermath of high-intensity earthquakes. This paper examines the

Post-Tensioned Self-Centering System Efficiency against Extreme Wind Loads

open access: yes, 2022
For tall buildings, wind demand under extreme wind loads is so large that design based on conventional elastic behavior can be difficult. A practical solution is to permit inelastic behavior to introduce hysteretic damping and reduce design wind force ...

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Tri-axial Self-centering Reinforced Concrete Frame and Its Quasi-static Test

open access: yes工程科学与技术, 2018
Self-centering reinforced concrete frame is a new type of earthquake resilient structure.Comparing to conventional RC structures,self-centering structure is known for its minimal damage under earthquakes and little residual deformation after earthquakes ...

The immune system as a self-centered network of lymphocytes [PDF]

open access: yesImmunology Letters, 2015
This essay makes a brief historical and comparative review of selective and network theories of the immune system which is presented as a chemical sensory system with immune and non-immune functions. The ontogeny of immune networks is the result of both positive and negative selection of lymphocytes to self-epitopes that serve as a "template" for the ...
