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

“…However, near-fault earthquakes, especially those with the forward-directivity effect, might cause early and unexpected failure of code-designed dampers and consequent severe structural damage. In this paper, by taking into account near-fault earthquakes, seismic performance of the building-damper system and damper failure’s influence are evaluated systematically. …”

Detection of The TNFSF Members BAFF, APRIL, TWEAK and Their Receptors in Normal Kidney and Renal Cell Carcinomas by Vassiliki Pelekanou, George Notas, Katerina Theodoropoulou, Marilena Kampa, Dimitrios Takos, Vassilia-Ismini Alexaki, Jelena Radojicic, Frank Sofras, Andreas Tsapis, Efstathios N. Stathopoulos, Elias Castanas

“…We observed a differential expression of these TNFSF ligands and receptors in cancerous and non-cancerous structures. BAFF was found in all RCC; APRIL expression is associated with an aggressive phenotype, correlating negatively with patients' disease-free survival, while TWEAK and its receptor Fn14 are heterogeneously expressed, correlating negatively with the grade and survival of RCC patients. …”

Incremental Graph Regulated Nonnegative Matrix Factorization for Face Recognition by Zhe-Zhou Yu, Yu-Hao Liu, Bin Li, Shu-Chao Pang, Cheng-Cheng Jia

“…To address this problem, In this paper, firstly, we proposed a novel subspace incremental method called incremental graph regularized nonnegative matrix factorization (IGNMF) algorithm which imposes manifold into incremental nonnegative matrix factorization algorithm (INMF); thus, our new algorithm is able to preserve the geometric structure in the data under incremental study framework; secondly, considering we always get many face images belonging to one person or many different people as a batch, we improved our IGNMF algorithms to Batch-IGNMF algorithms (B-IGNMF), which implements incremental study in batches. …”
