Soil-Rock Slope Stability Analysis under Top Loading considering the Nonuniformity of Rocks by Huang Xian-Wen, Zhi-Shu Yao, Wang Bing-Hui, Zhou Ai-Zhao, Peng-Ming Jiang

“…Then, considering different slope angles (50°–60°), rock contents (0%–60%), and rock shapes (round and angular), the ultimate loading increasing multiple N of soil-rock slopes under high loadings was calculated and suggested for engineering designs. Finally, based on the failure surfaces of numerical modes, three typical failure modes were developed, which could be reference for designers to deal with slopes.…”

Outcome measures for assessing the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions on equinus foot deformity in post-stroke patients with triceps surae spasticity: A scoping review. by Isabella Campanini, Maria Chiara Bò, Maria Chiara Bassi, Benedetta Damiano, Sara Scaltriti, Mirco Lusuardi, Andrea Merlo

“…A thorough critical appraisal of the construct validity of the scales and of the statistics employed was provided, particularly focusing on the choice of parametric and non-parametric approaches when using ordinal scales. Finally, the complexity surrounding the concept of "spasticity" and the possibility of assessing the several underlying active and passive causes of EFD, with a consequent bespoke treatment for each of them, was discussed.…”

SLC2A5 Correlated with Immune Infiltration: A Candidate Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarker for Lung Adenocarcinoma by Lianxiang Luo, Jiating Su, Yushi Zheng, Fangfang Huang, Riming Huang, Hui Luo

“…The data analysis in the UALCAN database showed that the decreased promoter methylation level of SLC2A5 in LUAD may lead to the high expression of SLC2A5. Finally, we used the LinkedOmics database to evaluate the SLC2A5-related coexpression and functional networks in LUAD and to investigate their role in tumor immunity. …”

El desvanecimiento del umbral como límite entre el exterior y el interior en la obra de Rogelio Salmona by Edgard Mauricio Carvajal Ronderos

“…Esto lo logra eliminando los cerramientos que dan la idea de un gueto, permitiendo a los visitantes su recorrido en todas las direcciones; esta relación no tiene que ver con la escala o el uso del proyecto, aparece en conjuntos de vivienda, equipamientos o viviendas unifamiliares, de modo que se puede decir sin temor a equivocarse que Salmona trabaja para la ciudad, que entiende al peatón como su cliente y no solo a quien financia sus proyectos, aunque la mayoría de las veces tenga con diferencias con ellos o con los usuarios finales. La metodología que se empleó en la investigación consistió en analizar la forma en que Rogelio Salmona resuelve el acceso a sus proyectos, como es el cerramiento de los mismos, el trabajo de las esquinas, la localización de los edificios en el terreno y la composición de fachada; los proyectos se seleccionaron teniendo en cuenta que fueran de diferentes escalas y tuvieran diversos usos, así comprobaríamos que las operaciones corresponden a una tipología buscada y no como solución a un problema específico.  …”
