考虑抗弯刚度不确定性的简支梁桥损伤定位方法 = Damage localization method for simply supported bridge with flexural stiffness uncertainty considered by 王艺霖 Wang, Yi-lin, 张鑫 Zhang, Xin, 安新梅 An, Xin-mei

“…If the slopes of two attachment lines between one point (x2=x'+m) and its two adjacent points change, it can be known that damage occurs within the region [x',x'+m] or [l- x'- m,l- x']. In addition, the effect of damage localization can be adjusted by changing the value of load.…”

Targeted hematopoietic stem cell depletion through SCF-blockade by Chan, Yan Y., Ho, Pui Y., Dib, Carla, Swartzrock, Leah, Rayburn, Maire, Willner, Hana, Ko, Ethan, Ho, Katie, Down, Julian D., Wilkinson, Adam C., Nakauchi, Hiro, Denis, Morgane, Cool, Taylor, Czechowicz, Agnieszka

“…We also show that SCF-blocking αCD117 mAb fragment derivatives retain similar HSC depletion capacity with enhanced engraftment post HSCT in SCID settings, but only full αCD117 mAb ACK2 in combination with αCD47 mAb enables enhanced donor HSC engraftment in WT settings, highlighting that the Fc region is not required for single-agent efficacy in SCID settings but is required in immunocompetent settings. …”

Sexual violence at higher education institutions: prevalence, nature, and opportunities for prevention by Steele, B

“…</p> <p><strong>Method:</strong> First, I conducted a systematic review of SV prevalence studies at HEIs and meta-analysed the prevalence of SV disaggregated by gender, type of SV, and world region. Second, in collaboration with stakeholders across the University of Oxford, I developed a cross-sectional survey (the OUR SPACE survey) to measure the prevalence, nature, and context of SV at the University of Oxford. …”

Congenital myasthenic syndromes: characterisation of a new animal model, exploring potential novel therapies and assessing the outcome of COVID-19 infection by Alabaf, S

Suppressed deep traps and bandgap fluctuations in Cu2CdSnS4 solar cells with ≈8% efficiency by Hadke, Shreyash, Levcenko, Sergiu, Gautam, Gopalakrishnan Sai, Hages, Charles J., Márquez, José A., Izquierdo-Roca, Victor, Carter, Emily A., Unold, Thomas, Wong, Lydia Helena

“…It is shown that these deleterious defect clusters can be suppressed by substituting Zn with Cd in a Cu-poor compositional region. The substitution of Zn with Cd also significantly reduces the bandgap fluctuations, despite the similarity in the formation energy of the CuZn+ZnCu and CuCd+CdCu antisites. …”
