Study on mechanism and influential factors of progressive collapse resistance of base-isolated structure by Bao, Chao, Zhang, Yuhang, Lv, Dahai, Wang, Huxiang, Ma, Xiaotong, Cao, Jixing, Lim, Kar Sing

“…In the case of side isolation bearing failure, due to the lack of sufficient lateral restraint, the capacity was significantly lower than other conditions, which were more likely to cause partly collapse. Therefore, setting more transfer paths to improve the structure’s resistance to progressive collapses was necessary. …”

Quality of service profiling by Misailovic, Sasa, Sidiroglou, Stylianos, Hoffmann, Henry Christian, Rinard, Martin C.

“…In contrast to standard profilers, which simply identify time-consuming parts of the computation, a quality of service profiler is designed to identify subcomputations that can be replaced with new (and potentially less accurate) subcomputations that deliver significantly increased performance in return for acceptably small quality of service losses. …”

Characteristics of scanning curves of two soils by Tami, Denny, Rahardjo, Harianto, Leong, Eng Choon

“…Scanning curves were then constructed using the matric suction and water content data measured at the bottom, middle and top parts of the slope models and were compared with the primary drying and primary wetting soil-water characteristic curves that were measured separately. …”

Sugar-modified G-quadruplexes : effects of LNA-, 2'F-RNA- and 2'F-ANA-guanosine chemistries on G-quadruplex structure and stability by Phan, Anh Tuân, Li, Zhe, Lech, Christopher Jacques

“…Our results are summarized in two parts: (I) Generally, LNAG substitutions into ‘anti’ position guanines within a guanine-tetrad lead to a more stable G-quadruplex, while substitutions into ‘syn’ positions disrupt the native G-quadruplex conformation. …”

Looting the LUTs : FPGA optimization of AES and AES-like ciphers for authenticated encryption by Khairallah, Mustafa, Chattopadhyay, Anupam, Peyrin, Thomas

“…Additionally, we show that using FPGA technology mapping instead of logic optimization, the area of both the linear and non linear parts of the round function of several AES-like primitives can be reduced, without affecting the run-time performance. …”

Amphiphilic Janus magnetoplasmonic nanoparticles: pH-triggered self-assembly and fluorescence modulation by Lu, Derong, Hou, Shuai, Liu, Sheng, Xiong, Qirong, Chen, Yonghao, Duan, Hongwei

“…It was found that the increase in the relative ratio of pH-responsive hydrophobic BCP and hydrophilic polymer grafts on two different parts of the JNP led to a morphological transition of assemblies from micellar cluster to lamellae to vesicle. …”

A pile of ghosts: a cinematic heterotopia of spectral urbanization by Raidel, Ella

“…As the process of filmmaking goes, settings and castings are staged to re-enact situations that have been observed during the field trips that were undertaken in many parts of China. The search for the unknown narrative keeps modifying and displacing the semantics of the film script. …”

Hydrous melting driven upwelling from the mantle transition zone in the Mongolia plateau revealed by receiver function analysis by He, Jing, Xu, Mijian, Wu, Qingju, Zhang, Fengxue

“…The topographies of the 410 km (D410) and 660 km (D660) discontinuities are both characterized by slight depressions in most parts of the Mongolia Plateau. An obvious low-velocity layer (LVL) atop the MTZ with an average thickness of ∼40 km is observed beneath this study area, indicating the hydrous partial molten layer atop the D410 and a hydrous MTZ. …”
