Development of a novel colorimetric immunoassay for C-Reactive Protein using colloidal nanoparticles by Tjitra, Niklas Lesmana

“…Colour changes in the assay from pinkish red to violet were observed and scaled with increasing CRP concentration. Upon CRP spiking at 1 µg mL-1, affimer-functionalized Au NPs showed improvement in sensitivity, and the LOD was calculated to be 0.2 µg mL-1. …”

A simplified weak coupling dynamic analysis method for running safety evaluation of train on bridges under earthquake excitation by Zhu, Zhihui, Gong, Wei, Zhou, Gaoyang, Yang, Yaowen, Jiang, Lizhong

“…Additionally, based on the method's assumptions, the earthquake excitation on the train can be separated into the seismic inertial effect and seismic-induced bridge deformation, enabling a quantitative analysis of the impact of these two types of excitations on train safety. Taking a 10-span simply supported bridge and a long-span cable-stayed bridge as examples, the proposed method's assumptions are verified by comparing its results with those obtained from a complex TTBS model. …”
