Experimental and numerical studies of S960 ultra-high strength steel welded I-section columns by Su, Andi, Liang, Yating, Zhao, Ou

“…The assessment results indicated that the design buckling curves in both the European code and Australian standard yield rather conservative resistance predictions when used for S960 ultra-high strength steel welded I-section columns failing by minor-axis flexural buckling, while the design buckling curve in American specification results in overall accurate and consistent flexural buckling resistance predictions, though the predicted resistances are marginally conservative for those relatively short S960 ultra-high strength steel welded I-section columns with member non-dimensional slendernesses from 0.6 to 1.0. …”

Slit-Robo signalling establishes a sphingosine-1-phosphate gradient to polarise fin mesenchyme by Mahabaleshwar, Harsha, Asharani, P. V., Loo, Tricia Yi, Koh, Shze Yung, Pitman, Melissa R., Kwok, Samuel, Ma, Jiajia, Hu, Bo, Lin, Fang, Li Lok, Xue, Pitson, Stuart M., Saunders, Timothy E., Carney, Tom J.

“…We provide evidence that Slit ligands derived from immigrating mesenchyme act via Robo receptors at the apical ectodermal ridge (AER) to promote release of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). S1P subsequently diffuses back to the mesenchyme to promote their polarisation, orientation, positioning and adhesion to the interstitial matrix of the fin fold. …”

Analyzing the roles of human U1 snRNA variants in pre-mRNA processing. by Goh, Eling.

“…However, there remains a number of 5’ss that could not be bound optimally by the U1 snRNP. Very recently, U1 snRNA class I pseudogenes have been re-classified as human U1 snRNA variants due to several reasons: (i) actively transcribed U1-like snRNA genes were discovered; (ii) one of the U1 variants was shown to suppress intronic polyadenylation (IPA); and (iii) these U1 variants are packaged into snRNPs. …”
