Earthquake Design of Reinforced Concrete Buildings Using NSGA-II by Herian A. Leyva, Edén Bojórquez, Juan Bojórquez, Alfredo Reyes-Salazar, José H. Castorena, Eduardo Fernández, Manuel A. Barraza

“…For this purpose, genetic algorithms (GAs) are used through the technique NSGA-II (Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm), thus a multiobjective procedure with two objective functions is established. The first objective function is the control of maximum interstory drift which is the most common parameter used in seismic design codes, while the second is to minimize the cost of the structure. …”

Muscle fiber Myc is dispensable for muscle growth and its forced expression severely perturbs homeostasis by Daniel J. Ham, Michelangelo Semeraro, Bianca M. Berger, Timothy J. McGowan, Shuo Lin, Eleonora Maino, Filippo Oliveri, Markus A. Rüegg

“…While muscle fiber Myc expression increased during muscle growth and Myc expression in MuSCs was required for successful muscle regeneration, muscle fiber Myc expression was dispensable for post-natal, mechanical overload or PKBα/Akt1-induced muscle growth in mice. Similarly, constitutive Myc expression did not promote skeletal muscle hypertrophy, but instead impaired muscle fiber structure and function within days. …”

Loss of Fnip1 alters kidney developmental transcriptional program and synergizes with TSC1 loss to promote mTORC1 activation and renal cyst formation. by Ryan Centini, Mark Tsang, Terri Iwata, Heon Park, Jeffrey Delrow, Daciana Margineantu, Brandon M Iritani, Haiwei Gu, H Denny Liggitt, Janella Kang, Lim Kang, David M Hockenbery, Daniel Raftery, Brian M Iritani

“…Whereas kidney-specific deletion of the Bhd gene in mice is known to result in polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and renal cell carcinoma, the roles of Fnip1 in renal cell development and function are unclear. In this study, we utilized mice with constitutive deletion of the Fnip1 gene to show that the loss of Fnip1 is sufficient to result in renal cyst formation, which was characterized by decreased AMPK activation, increased mTOR activation, and metabolic hyperactivation. …”
