In the present paper, a numerical algorithm based on the finite element method is proposed for the prediction of the mechanical response of reinforced concrete (RC) beams under bending loading.The main novelty of such an approach is the introduction of the Overlapping Crack Model, based on nonlinear fracture mechanics concepts, to describe concrete
The microstructure of a unidirectional glass-fiber composite material is described seeking especially for the influence of the stitching perpendicular to the reinforcement.Serial cuts are performed through the composite and the microstructure is quantified using global parameters and linear Porcelain morphological analysis.A key result is that the
The main cause of steroid-induced necrosis of femoral head (SNFH) is excessive glucocorticoid (GC) intake.The aim of this article was to investigate the role of lncRNA NEAT1 as a molecular sponge to adsorb miR-23b-3p and regulate CYP1A2 in SNFH.Fluorescence in situ hybridization was used to localize lncRNA NEAT1.Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem c
Abstract The Nilaparvata muiri (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) is a sibling species of a destructive rice insect pest, the brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens.Here, we generated a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of N.muiri using a combination of the PacBio HiFi sequencing, Illumina short-read sequencing and Hi-C scaffolding technolog
