Study on structural robustness to resist progressive collapse of vertical irregularly base-isolated structures by Bao, Chao, Ma, Xiaotong, Lv, Dahai, Wu, Qiaozhi, Doh, Shu Ing, Chin, Siew Choo, Shu, Hongbo, Nor Hayati, Abdul Hamid

“…It is suggested that reasonable protection measures should be set for the isolation bearing with greater vulnerability coefficient which may suffer from extreme accidents and the potential risk of isolation bearing with greater component importance coefficient is eliminated or reduced.…”

Instrumentation optimisation for unicompartmental knee replacement by Arthur, LW

“…To minimise the risk of bearing fracture in the very long-term, surgeons should position the bearing close to the tibial wall, neutrally align the femoral component, and avoid using the thinnest Size 3 bearings in young patients.…”

Chatalone : crowd chat application by How, Yi De

Associations between violence in childhood, depression and suicide attempts in adolescence: evidence from a cohort study in Luwero district, Uganda by Akunzirwe, R, Carter, DJ, Hanna, L, Zinke-Allmang, A, Akim, A, Datzberger, S, Parkes, J, Knight, L, Atuhaire, L, Nakuti, J, Mirembe, A, Allen, E, Naker, D, Devries, K, Bhatia, A

“…However, few studies use longitudinal data from low- and middle-income countries with attention to how associations differ by experiencing specific types of violence or alongside different contexts of peer and family support. In this study, we quantify the association between experiences of violence in early adolescence and depression and suicide attempts in late adolescence and explore whether this association is modified by family and peer connectedness. …”

Fragmentation of white phosphorus by a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)alumanyl anion by Koshino, Kota, Kinjo, Rei

“…Structural and electronic features of the latter were fully characterized by standard spectroscopic means, X-ray diffraction analysis, and computational studies, which revealed that 2 bears highly polarized Al (δ+) and P (δ-) and relatively short Al-P bonds, indicative of the σ-donating and π-accepting nature of CAAAl groups.…”
