Seismic Behavior of Three-Story Prestressed Fabricated Concrete Frame under Dynamic and Low Reversed Cyclic Loading by Manrong Song, Jiaxuan He, Yuan Liu, Hang Zhang, Chenjun Ge, Yadong Jin, Bingkang Liu, Shenjiang Huang, Yan Liu

“…Results of the study show that experimental specimens have good behaviors such as full hysteresis curves, proper displacement restoring capacity, and energy dissipation; the maximum interlayer drift ratio arrives 0.27% which has no damage to the frame in small earthquakes subjected to the 102 gal peak ground acceleration; the frame is repairable in moderate earthquakes when the maximal interlayer drift ratio arrives 0.73% subjected to the 204 gal peak ground acceleration; plastic hinges appeared at the ends of beam under low reversed cyclic loading firstly where the section curvature ductility factor ranges from 3.64 to 5.62; biaxial compression is acquired at beam-column joints with the help of column axial force and horizontal prestressing force; the beam fails before the column in the prestressed fabricated concrete frame at interlayer drift ratio between 1.56% and 2.56%.…”

Diffusion tensor imaging in peroneal neuropathy: a prospective, single-centre study by Robin Lemmens, Anaïs Van Hoylandt, Tom Theys, Christophe Oosterbos, Ahmed M Radwan, Stefan Sunaert, Sophie Hoornaert

“…We aim to establish reference values for DTI metrics of the healthy peroneal nerve and to evaluate differences in DTI metrics between patients and healthy controls.Methods Diffusion-weighted images (DWI) from 22 pathological nerves, 14 asymptomatic patients’ nerves and 65 healthy peroneal nerves were processed for quantitative assessment of fractional anisotropy (FA), radial diffusivity (RD), axial diffusivity and mean diffusivity. Clinical baseline and follow-up data were prospectively collected for all patients.Results Mean patient FA values (0.40, SD 0.08) were significantly lower compared with healthy controls (mean FA 0.44, SD 0.06). …”
