A nonlinear finite element study has been conducted to investigate the effectiveness of strengthening RC beams with pre-stressedNSM CFRP rods in enhancing the flexural strength ofthe beams. Four beams have been considered. One acted as control to simulate an existing structural member. The other beams were strengthened with non-pre-stressed CFRP rod (0% pre-stressed), and pre-stressed CFRP rod (40%, or 60% pre-stressed of the CFRP rod tensile strength). The results of analysis showed that strengthening of the RC beams with non pre-stressed NSM CFRP rods improved both of the flexural capacity a

Abstract:
In most structural failures, deterioration of reinforced concrete structure is due to corrosion of reinforcing bars. Ingress of chloride ions and reaction of carbon dioxide with the cement paste due to poor-quality concrete or inadequate cover are the main causes of corrosion. Corrosion can be reduced by using high-quality concrete and providing proper cover to reinforcement. In addition, corrosion inhibitors are used to protect the reinforcement in order to extend the service life of concrete structures.

Beam column joint failure has been linked to the partial or whole collapse of reinforced structures, according to information gathered during seismic reconnaissance. Under seismic stress, the failure of a single beam has only a limited impact, but the failure of a beam-column junction might lead to the collapse of the whole structure. The resulting economic damage and human casualties are substantial. Hence, keeping the beam and column from coming apart is crucial. Recent earthquakes have caused significant damage to important structures, and this is mostly attributable to a lack of ductility

Abstract:
e22101 Background: GTE and Epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG), the most abundant polyphenol in GTE, have been shown to exert inhibitory effects on carcinogenesis; modulatory effects on tumor proliferation and differentiation; and immunomodulatory effects on tumor immunity in different pre-clinical models. These pluripotent effects suggest that GTE may have clinical activity that could be exploited for treatment of chemo-insensitive but immunologically responsive tumors. Thus, the present study investigated the effects of EGCG on the proliferation and immunologic sensitivity of human renal cell

However, there are no data regarding the association of TCI in matched bx and nx samples without intervening treatment.

Introduction: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most common urinary tumors. The risk of metastasis for patients with RCC is about 1/3, among which 30–40% have lymph node metastasis, and the existence of lymph node metastasis will greatly reduce the survival rate of patients. However, the necessity of lymph node dissection is still controversial at present. Therefore, a new predictive model is urgently needed to judge the risk of lymph node metastasis and guide clinical decision making before operation.

Additionally, 30% of patients who initially respond to treatment gain secondary drug resistance and present with increased tumor burden.

Abstract The Rac1 and Rac2 GTPases play important roles in many processes including cytoskeletal reorganization, proliferation, and survival, and are required for B-cell development. Previous studies had shown that deficiency in Rac2 did not affect T-cell development, whereas the function of Rac1 in this process has not been investigated. We now show that simultaneous absence of both GTPases resulted in a very strong developmental block at the pre-TCR checkpoint and in defective positive selection. Unexpectedly, deficiency of Rac1 and Rac2 also resulted in the aberrant survival of thymocytes l
