Antibodies in the Diagnosis of Coeliac Disease: A Biopsy-Controlled, International, Multicentre Study of 376 Children with Coeliac Disease and 695 Controls

PLoS ONE, 2014
Diagnosis of coeliac disease (CD) relies on a combination of clinical, genetic, serological and duodenal morphological findings. The ESPGHAN suggested that biopsy may not be necessary in all cases.

The effect of metal corrosion on the structural reliability of the Pre-Engineered steel frame

Journal of Materials and Engineering Structures, 2020
Nowadays, Pre-Engineered steel buildings are widely used in the field of the industrial construction. However, design standards often only care about the safety (or reliability) at the start time but not concerned about the deterioration of reliability ...

Green function of curved rail-beam

Journal of Materials and Engineering Structures, 2017
In this article, we study the dynamic behavior of the rail under inclined loads. The rail is modeled as a curved beam under lateral loads. When a train enters a curve, two sources lead to these lateral forces that have rarely been studied by previous ...

Chloride transport modeling for normal and fly-ash concrete using naturally logarithmic apparent diffusion coefficient with considering eutrophication potential effect

Sustainable Structures
This study indicates two issues of available time-dependent diffusion coefficient function; non-smoothness of diffusion coefficient decay, and inconsistency of stable time of diffusion coefficient.

Calculation of the load-bearing capacity of a wood-wood joining system adapted to digital and democratized manufacturing

Sustainable Structures
joining techniques, rather than metal-fastener-based systems, can now be industrialized. The development of the "Spatial Masterkey" system manufactured with a 3-axis CNC milling machine is presented. The system democratizes traditional joining techniques.
