Seismic Performance Evaluation of Building-Damper System under Near-Fault Earthquake by Xiaoli Wu, Wei Guo, Ping Hu, Dan Bu, Xu Xie, Yao Hu

“…A 9-storey steel building is designed by the Chinese seismic code as the benchmark model, and five typical dampers, including buckling-restrained brace damper (BRB), friction damper (FD), self-centering damper (SCD), viscous damper (VD), and viscoelastic damper (VED), are adopted. It was found that the building-damper systems show a large response and possible damper failure under the near-fault earthquake excitations. …”

Binding Orientations and Lipid Interactions of Human Amylin at Zwitterionic and Anionic Lipid Bilayers by Zhenyu Qian, Yan Jia, Guanghong Wei

“…We find that the adsorption of hIAPP to POPC bilayer is mainly initiated from the C-terminal region and the peptide adopts a helical structure with multiple binding orientations, while the adsorption to POPG bilayer is mostly initiated from the N-terminal region and hIAPP displays one preferential binding orientation, with its hydrophobic residues exposed to water. hIAPP monomer inserts into POPC lipid bilayers more readily than into POPG bilayers. …”
