Center of Rigidity and Center of Shear in Wall-Frame Systems by Kanat Burak Bozdoğan, Süleyman Aydın

“…Particularly in the structural system of wall-frame, due to the different behavior of wall and frame, the center of rigidity varies from the story to story even if the dimensions of the walls and frames are constant throughout the height of the structure. …”

Lone Hepatocellular Carcinoma: An Isolated Chest Wall Malignancy by Joseph Allencherril, Sebastian Bruera, Ronan Allencherril, Richard J. Hamill

“…Herein we describe the case of an elderly diabetic gentleman presenting with a two-week history of dyspnea and nonproductive cough, found to have a large left anterolateral chest wall mass. Further characterization through computed tomography (CT) of the chest revealed a soft tissue mass in the left anterior lower hemithorax found to be hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). …”

Roles of Cells from the Arterial Vessel Wall in Atherosclerosis by Di Wang, Zhiyan Wang, Lili Zhang, Yi Wang

“…Atherosclerosis has been identified as a chronic inflammatory disease of the arterial vessel wall. Accumulating evidence indicates that different cells from the tunica intima, media, adventitia, and perivascular adipose tissue not only comprise the intact and normal arterial vessel wall but also participate all in the inflammatory response of atherosclerosis via multiple intricate pathways. …”

Abdominal Wall Desmoid during Pregnancy: Diagnostic Challenges by Johnny Awwad, Nadine Hammoud, Chantal Farra, Farah Fares, George Abi Saad, Ghina Ghazeeri

“…We described the rapid growth of an anterior abdominal wall mass in a 40-year-old pregnant woman. Due to its close proximity to the enlarged uterus, it was misdiagnosed to be a uterine leiomyoma by ultrasound examination. …”

Identification of Modal Parameters for Reinforcement of Walls in Earthen Ruins by Bei Liu, Yucheng Shi, Kun Liu, Tao Li, Shaopeng Wang

“…The aim of the paper is to present the essential results of an ongoing research on a reinforced rammed earthen wall in Suoyang City (Guazhou, China). The wall vibrations caused by ambient actions were analyzed using the stochastic subspace algorithm to estimate the modal parameters of the wall. …”

Supercapacitance of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes-Polypyrrole Composites by Matei Raicopol, Alina Pruna, Luisa Pilan

“…Here, we report a new electrochemical method to obtain polypyrrole (PPY)/single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) composites. In the first step, the SWCNTs are covalently functionalized with monomeric units of pyrrole by esterification of acyl chloride functionalized SWCNTs and N-(6-hydroxyhexyl)pyrrole. …”
