The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the corrosion phenomenon on the seismic strength of a reactor containment building (RCB) in nuclear power plants (NPPs). A corrosion degradation model is proposed based on the rationale of NPP structures and applied to the reinforcements...

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia and is characterized by accumulation of amyloid plaque and excessive neuroinflammation [1,2]. Mounting evidence suggests the role of immune cells in neurodegenerative diseases. Specifically, whole genome sequencing identifies mutation in innate immu...
Gap models can allocate canopy photosynthate to the individual trees whose leaves form the vertical leaf-area profiles. VOC release depends strongly on leaf physiology by species of these trees. Leaf-level VOC emissions increase with climate-warming. Species composition change lowers the abundance of ...
[80,123,125,126,133]. In a 72-patient investigation of the α1 chain of collagen type XI, breast pathologies had decreased stromal staining compared to normal adjacent tissue, specifically for splice forms V1a and Npp. Decreased cytoplasmic staining of the V1a splice form of the α1 chain...
New permeation pathways (NPP) are hypothesized to facilitate the transport of low molecular mass solutes [2, 3] from the RBC membrane to the parasite and are likely to include many of the predicted parasite-encoded channels and transporters encoded in the parasite genome [1]. K+ channels are...
However, species richness considers all species to be equally distinct, providing little information on the evolutionary makeup of the assemblage, how assemblages form, and the ecosystem functions they perform (Wilsey et al. 2005). In recent decades, indices integrating species’ evolutionary histories...

Late-onset Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of the disease, and in recent years, large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs) and exome/genome sequencing studies have identified more than 75 well-confirmed genetic loci that contribute to the risk of developing late-onset ...
In the “voxel activation” condition, half of a rotating checkerboard in the form of a torus was presented in the left visual field, while in the “control activation” condition, the mirror-symmetric stimulus was presented in the right visual field. Results showed a significant GABA decrease ...
