Investigation of phenylpropanoid sucrose esters as antidiabetic compounds by Wong, Kathy Pooi Wen

“…Since hybrid 77 is a systemic drug, dosing of the compound would have to account for both the rate at which it is transported across the gut wall and its toxicity. Whereas for 3,6’-caff 163, dosing of the drug would have to take into account the rate at which it is metabolised in the small intestine. …”

Dynamic fracture mechanics of FRP-concrete interface by Li, Gen

“…The model was applied in finite element analysis (FEA) of various dynamic tests with FRP-concrete interface bond, e.g. single-lap shear tests, three-point bending tests, FRP strengthened RC beams subjected to dynamic loading and an FRP strengthened RC wall under blast load. From the comparison with test results, the model was shown to be reliable and accurate in simulating the behaviour of FRP-concrete mixed-mode separation.…”

Genome-wide transcriptome profiling reveals molecular response pathways of Trichoderma harzianum in response to salt stress by Yang, Qihong, Mao, Zhenchuan, Hao, Yali, Zheng, Shijie, Zhao, Jianlong, Li, Yan, Yang, Yuhong, Xie, Bingyan, Ling, Jian, Li, Yanlin

“…GO enrichment analysis showed that the T2-treatment DEGs were highly enriched in detoxification (p < 0.001), while the T4 DEGs were mainly enriched in cell components, mostly in cellular detoxification, cell surface, and cell wall. KEGG metabolic pathway analysis showed that 91 and 173 DEGs were significantly enriched in the T2 and T4 treatments, respectively (p < 0.01), mainly in the glutathione metabolism pathway. …”
