Quantitative Identification of Pulse-Like Ground Motions Based on Hilbert–Huang Transform by Zhen Liu

“…By analyzing the seismic response, fault distance, and cumulative squared velocity (CSV) of these pulse-like ground motions, it is found that the pulse-like ground motions identified by the HHT-based method have strong near-fault characteristics. If a high recognition quality can be guaranteed, the proposed HHT-based method can identify many kinds of near-fault velocity pulses and thus provide more pulse-like ground motions for seismic researches.…”

Differential Expression of Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Receptors in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms by Z. Qu, Bernice L. Y. Cheuk, Stephen W. K. Cheng

“…For Western blot analysis, S1P1 expression was not detected in either group; S1P2 protein was constitutively detected in both types of aortas but its expression level was significantly decreased by 73% (𝑃<0.05) in AAAs compared with the control group. In contrast, strong S1P3 expression was detected in AAAs aortas but not in normal aortas. …”
