Abstract:

By the combination of POD method and mode superposition method, the eigenvector similarity factor is introduced on the representation of the similarity between the load spacial distribution and the structural mode. Meanwhile, the eigenvalue got from the wind pressure field decomposition indicates the relative ratio of the energy associated with the corresponding load spacial distribution to the total of the wind load energy. It is proved that the eigenvector similarity factor and the eigenvalues are two of most important factors when measuring the relative significance of each modal response.

Abstract:

Jerk is the time rate of acceleration and mainly represents the nonstationary component in high frequency band of the earthquake wave. The study on jerk and its response spectra can enhance the recognition of the nonstationary ground motion. The mechanical meaning and research value of jerk are described. Jerk is recommended to be solved by establishing state-space equations and Runge-Kutta method. The solution method of elastic and inelastic jerk response spectra under ground motion is established, and the accurate jerk spectrum should be calculated directly according to numerical computing i

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Primary transcripts encoding the MADS box superfamily of proteins, such as MEF2 in animals and ZEMa in plants, are alternatively spliced, producing several isoformic species. We show here that murine serum response factor (SRF) primary RNA transcripts are alternatively spliced at the fifth exon, deleting approximately one-third of the C-terminal activation domain. Among the different muscle types examined, visceral smooth muscles have a very low ratio of SRFΔ5 to SRF. Increased levels of SRFΔ5 correlates well with reduced smooth muscle contractile gene activity within the elastic aort

Abstract:

This paper presents a general model for describing and predicting biological response to environmental factors. The theory embraces concepts and models used in earlier studies of the effects of toxicity on fish, and it extends these ideas in several directions. It can include an arbitrary number of factors, either detrimental or beneficial to the organism. Also, its statistical formulation allows (1) hypothesis testing to determine the relative importance of various factors and (2) calculation of critical factor levels that (with prescribed confidence) assure a community response no worse than

Abstract:

The current system of radiation protection for humans is based on the linear-no-threshold (LNT) risk-assessment paradigm. Perceived harm to irradiated nuclear workers and the public is mainly reflected through calculated hypothetical increased cancers. The LNT-based system of protection employs easy-to-implement measures of radiation exposure. Such measures include the equivalent dose (a biological-damage-potential-weighted measure) and the effective dose (equivalent dose multiplied by a tissue-specific relative sensitivity factor for stochastic effects). These weighted doses have special unit

Based on these results and those of the other four published studies examining IGF-1 and delirium, we take issue with the statement that a large body of evidence supports IGF-1's role in delirium pathogenesis.

SRIF and GRF were employed at concentrations in a range close to levels reported in the hypophysial circulation of the rat. GH secretion was inhibited by pulses of 1 nmol SRIF/1 (6 min) or 0·3 nmol SRIF/1 (6 or 20 min). No rebound GH stimulation was observed. Exposure of cells to 6-min pulses of 0·3 nmol rat GRF/1 repeated three times resulted in rapid stimulatory responses which became attenuated. Concomitant exposure

Resistance monitoring efforts have traditionally focused on the detection of qualitative resistance based on a single point mutation, G143A, within the cytochrome b (cyt b) gene. In order to better understand the role of heteroplasmy of the cyt b gene in the QoI resistance response for isolates and populations of V. inaequalis, an allele-specific quantitative polymerase chain reaction was developed to quantify

Abstract:

The influence of water depth on the vertical wave induced bending moment acting on a hull has been studied. The deep-water second-order nonlinear hydroelastic strip theory, which is based on the relative motion concept, has been generalized to account for a finite water depth. Results for an analytical beam and for a tanker ship are presented and discussed. Short-term load predictions that account for a range of different sea states are given for a tanker ship. As seen from the present study, the effect of intermediate water depth may be a significant factor in calculations of ship springing r

Abstract:

There are genetically based differences in growth and behavior between domestic and wild (W) trout and salmon, although the molecular underpinnings of the physiological alterations have not been identified. To test for genetically based alterations in the GH/IGF-I axis, which is thought to mediate some of the differences in growth and behavior, we measured circulating concentrations of GH, IGF-I, and thyroid hormone (T3), as well as mRNA levels for GH, IGF-I, and GH receptor, from multiple tissues and from fish reared under different environments. Both age-matched and size-matched individuals

Abstract:

The design of human-machine systems requires the consideration of a wealth of factors affecting human performance. One important factor concerns stimulus-response (S-R) compatibility effects. S-R compatibility refers to the finding that people respond faster when the relative spatial locations of stimuli and responses correspond (compatible S-R mappings) than when there is no correspondence (incompatible S-R mappings). For example, a visual stimulus that is presented to the right of a central fixation point is responded to more quickly by pressing a right key rather than a left key. In two exp

Background Maternal response to allostatic overload during infant rearing may alter neurobiological measures in grown offspring, potentially increasing susceptibility to mood and anxiety disorders. We examined maternal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) glutamate response during exposure to variable foraging demand (VFD), a bonnet macaque model of allostatic overload, testing whether activation relative to baseline predicted concomitant CSF elevations of the stress neuropeptide, corticotropin-releasing factor. We investigated whether VFD-induced activation of maternal CSF glutamate affects maternal–inf

Abstract:

ABSTRACT While researchers and practitioners alike estimate firms' exposures to systematic risk factors, the disclosure literature typically assumes that exposures are common knowledge. We develop a model where the firm's exposure to a factor is unknown, and analyze the effects of factor-exposure uncertainty on share price and the effects of disclosure about the exposure. We find that: (1) factor-exposure uncertainty introduces skewness and excess kurtosis in the cash flow distribution relative to the commonly used normal distribution; (2) risk-factor disclosure affects all moments of that dis

Abstract:

Abstract Tissue factor (TF) is the primary initiator of coagulation, and the TF pathway mediates signaling through protease-activated receptors (PARs). In sepsis, TF is up-regulated as part of the proinflammatory response in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)–stimulated monocytes leading to systemic coagulation activation. Here we demonstrate that TF cytoplasmic domain–deleted (TFΔCT) mice show enhanced and prolonged systemic coagulation activation relative to wild-type upon LPS challenge. However, TFΔCT mice resolve inflammation earlier and are protected from lethality independent of changes in coagula
