Predictable Behavior of GFRP-Reinforced Bridge Decks: Formulation of a Strain-Based Capacity Model by Young Hoon Kim, Yeesock Kim, Yeonho Park

“…Therefore, a rational approach is needed to integrate multiple failure modes in a single analysis framework, considering uncertainties of time-variant demands and capacities. To account for multiple failure modes, this study proposes the limit state function to estimate the safety margin, based on strain values of GFRP-reinforcing bars. …”

Les exclamations cachées de la forme It’s astonishing the amount of anxiety in our society : l’enchâssement du syntagme nominal, entre rupture syntaxique et continuité sémantique... by Olivia Reneaud-Jensen

“…It shows that the construction is a form-meaning pairing, in which the embedding predicate IT BE ADJ is non-compositional, and functions in the same way as embedding predicates with the verbal structures believe, get over et be amazed at. This can be accounted for both by a rightward movement in its underlying structure and shared semantic features with all predicates that are compatible with concealed exclamations. …”

Protein Ubiquitylation in Pancreatic Cancer by Thomas Bonacci, Julie Roignot, Philippe Soubeyran

“…Indeed, despite its role in promoting protein degradation through the proteasome, ubiquitylation is now known to regulate diverse cellular processes, such as membrane protein endocytosis and intracellular trafficking, assembly of protein complexes, gene transcription, and activation or inactivation of enzymes. Taking into account that ubiquitylation machinery is a three-step process involving hundreds of proteins, which is countered by numerous ubiquitin hydrolases, and that the function of ubiquitylation relies on the recognition of the ubiquitin signals by hundreds of proteins containing a ubiquitin binding domain (including the proteasome), the number of possible therapeutic targets is exceptionally vast and will need to be explored carefully for each disease. …”

Chord Types and Figuration: A Bayesian Learning Model of Extended Chord Profiles by Christoph Finkensiep, Petter Ericson, Sebasian Klassmann, Martin Rohrmeier

“…We find that the proposed characterization of chords is indeed learnable and the specific inferred profiles match previous music-theoretic accounts. In addition, we can observe patterns in the use of figuration, such as the distribution of figuration tones being related to the diatonic contexts in which chords appear and chord types differing in their predisposition to generate non-chord tones. …”
