Effects of ultrasound-assisted low-salt curing on water retention, tenderness and in vitro digestive characteristics of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon Idellus) by Jun Liu, Changxin Xie, Wenhan Ma, Xue Xiao, Weiwei Dong, Youwei Chen, Yuanliang Hu, Yanli Feng, Xiang Yu

“…Furthermore, ultrasound-assisted curing led to the unfolding of the spatial structure of myofibrillar proteins, enhanced intermolecular hydrophobic interactions, and promoted protein oxidation (p < 0.05), which are fundamental reasons for the improvement in fish quality. Thus, ultrasound treatment had a positive effect on fish curing, with the optimal parameters identified as 590 W for 78 min. …”

Induction of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes in hepatocytes by beta-naphthoflavone: Time-dependent changes in activities, protein and mRNA levels by Lněničková Kateřina, Skálová Lenka, Stuchlíková Lucie, Szotáková Barbora, Matoušková Petra

“…Our results demonstrate that the responses of different xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes to the inducer vary in time and depend on the measured parameter. For these reasons, an induction study featuring only one-time interval treatment and/ or one parameter testing could produce misleading information.…”

Support Vector Regression Based on Grid-Search Method for Short-Term Wind Power Forecasting by Hong Zhang, Lixing Chen, Yong Qu, Guo Zhao, Zhenwei Guo

“…The two main contributions of this paper are as follows. (1) In data preprocessing, each encountered problem of employed real data such as irrelevant, outliers, missing value, and noisy data has been taken into account, the corresponding reasonable processing has been given, and the input variable selection and order estimation are investigated by Partial least squares technique. (2) STWPF is investigated by multiscale support vector regression (SVR) technique, and the parameters associated with SVR are optimized based on Grid-search method. …”

The Coupling Dynamic Analysis and Field Test of TBM Main System under Multipoint Impact Excitation by Junzhou Huo, Hanyang Wu, Guangqing Li, Wei Sun, Jing Chen

“…Field data is applied to validate simulation model to make sure time-varying damping stiffness, support cylinder stiffness, and the TBM machine stiffness distribution are reasonable. Simulation indicates the weakest part of TBM in axial and torsional DOF is the cylinder hinge and the connection shaft between motor and pinion, and the horizontal and vertical weak parts are bull gear. …”

Improved Shape-Finding Method and Parametric Study for Designing Asymmetric Suspension Bridges in Mountainous Terrain by Chenchen Jiang, Yangxun Ou, Weiyu Tang, Shengjun Hou, Rui Luo, Yuhao Jin, Bin Sun

“…Results show that the side-to-span ratio of the main cable and the tower’s stiffness can affect the horizontally constrained stiffness, resulting in distinct bridge behavior. Moreover, reasonably designing the dampers between the tower and the girder can be beneficial in minimizing the longitudinal displacement and controlling the tower’s moment under the seismic situations.…”

Chemotherapy in the Setting of Severe Liver Dysfunction in Patients with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer by Pashtoon Murtaza Kasi, Gita Thanarajasingam, Heidi D. Finnes, Jose C. Villasboas Bisneto, Joleen M. Hubbard, Axel Grothey

“…If we were to focus on just the metabolism of the different drugs and biologic agents available to treat mCRC, both 5-fluorouracil and oxaliplatin alone or in combination with a monoclonal antibody are reasonable choices. Specifically, FOLFOX is a feasible and safe option in patients with mCRC with severe liver dysfunction. …”
