Axial Behaviour of Slender RC Circular Columns Strengthened with Circular CFST Jackets by Yiyan Lu, Tao Zhu, Shan Li, Weijie Li, Na Li

“…The strengthening effect of CFST jacketing decreased with the increase of L/D ratio and D/t ratio but showed little variation with higher SCC strength. An existing expression of load-bearing capacity for traditional CFST columns was extended to propose a formula for the load-bearing capacity of CFST jacketed columns, and the predictions showed good agreement with the experimental results.…”

Modulation of Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cell Transcriptome by G-CSF Stimulation by Luz M. Avila-Portillo, Fabio Aristizabal, Angela Riveros, Martin C. Abba, Diego Correa

“…Herein, microarray-based transcriptomic analysis shows that G-CSF stimulation in vitro results in modulation of various signaling pathways including ones related with the metabolism of hyaluronan (HA), conferring a profile of cell mobilization to ADSCs, mediated in a cell-intrinsic fashion in part by reducing CD44 expression and HA synthesis-related genes. Collectively, these data suggest a direct modulatory effect of G-CSF on ADSC function, potentially altering their therapeutic capacity and thus the design of future clinical protocols.…”

Fusion of Emotional Thinking and Mental Health of Students in Vocal Music Teaching by Qi Yang, Chao Yu

“…They should focus on guiding students to experience and cultivate their abilities in a series of “processes” such as the emotion of vocal music, the teaching situation, the effect of listening, the creation of expression, and the aesthetic value. In addition, teachers should combine the teaching methods of transmission and inspiration, classroom teaching, and after-school training and combine relatively fixed teaching methods with flexible teaching methods to maximize the effectiveness of teaching.…”
