Structural Safety Analysis Based on Seismic Service Conditions for Butterfly Valves in a Nuclear Power Plant by Sang-Uk Han, Dae-Gyun Ahn, Myeong-Gon Lee, Kwon-Hee Lee, Seung-Ho Han

“…An experimental vibration test was also carried out in order to verify the results from the modal analysis, in which a validated finite element model was obtained via a model-updating method that considers changes in the in situ experimental data. By using a validated finite element model, the equivalent static load under SSE conditions stipulated by the KEPIC MFA gave a stress of 135 MPa that occurred at the connections of the stem and body. …”

Versatile Click Chemistry-based Approaches to Illuminate DNA and RNA G-Quadruplexes in Human Cells by Angélique Pipier, David Monchaud

“…Herein, we briefly explain what a G4 is and how they can be visualized in human cells; then, we present the strategy we have been developing for several years now for in situ click G4 imaging, which relies on the use of biomimetic G4 ligands referred to as TASQs (for template-assembled synthetic G-quartets) and is far more straightforward and modular than classically used immunodetection methods. …”

Humanist foundations for the transformations of higher education under supercomplexity by Юрій Мєлков, Євген Пінчук

“…The authors review the current social situation of supercomplexity and argue that under a perspective of unpredictable and changeable world the aim of higher education can no longer be seen in providing certain sets of skills and knowl­edge – instead, in the scope of the dialectics of traditions and innovations, such a situ­ation implies “reinventing” the classical European idea of university that presupposes the all-round development of human personality and education of a cultural person as opposed to the approach based on professional skills only. …”
