Published: August 2024

A deformation coordination method is proposed in this study to account for the distortion effects on a box girder. The differential equation for distortion in vertical web box girders is derived based on the deformation coordination condition of the distortion angle, considering both external loads and internal forces. Subsequently, a comparative analysis is conducted to explore the similarities and differences between the differential equations derived from the proposed deformation coordination method, the plate element analysis method and the total potential energy variation method. The accuracy of the proposed approach is verified through bench-scale tests and numerical simulations. The findings indicate that the derived governing distortion differential equation and distortion attenuation coefficients in the proposed method align with those obtained from the plate element analysis method and the total potential energy variational method, which enhances the applicability to allow for the distortion equations to be obtained simply by calculating the distortion displacements. The analytical findings regarding the distortion warping normal stresses on the cross-sections of the box girders demonstrate favorable correspondence with the experimental results, displaying an acceptable error ranging from - 0.3% to 5.4%. Moreover, the peak of distortion warping normal stresses on the mid-span cross-section increases with higher span-to-depth ratios and height-to-thickness ratios of the web. Consequently, augmenting the thickness of the box wall proves to be an effective means of reducing the distortion effect in box girders.

Higher order interaction analysis quantifies coordination in the epigenome revealing novel biological relationships in Kabuki syndrome.

Brief Bioinform

Division of Developmental Biology & Medicine, Faculty of Biology, Medicine, and Health, School of Biological Sciences, The University of Manchester, Manchester, UK.

Complex direct and indirect relationships between multiple variables, termed higher order interactions (HOIs), are characteristics of all natural systems. Traditional differential and network analyses fail to account for the omic datasets richness and miss HOIs. We investigated peripheral blood DNA methylation data from Kabuki syndrome type 1 (KS1) and control individuals, identified 2,002 differentially methylated points (DMPs), and inferred 17 differentially methylated regions, which represent only 189 DMPs.

Stretchable conductive hydrogels have attracted great attention in flexible electronics. Nevertheless, conductive hydrogels would suffer from an inevitable damage during use, significantly reducing the reliability and limiting the practicability. Herein, stretchable and self-healing conductive hydrogels are designed form carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), polyacrylic acid (PAA), and Fe, which are applied for monitoring human motions and electrophysiological signals.

BACKGROUND Congenital pericardial agenesis is a rare condition that is frequently associated with abnormal intrathoracic anatomy, especially malpositioning of the heart within the thoracic cavity. In the setting of coronary artery bypass, these anatomic derangements can present surgical challenges that can necessitate incorporating complementary, non-surgical solutions for complete revascularization. CASE REPORT A 48-year-old male patient presented with acute anginal symptoms, with workup revealing severe, multivessel coronary artery disease, as well as partial absence of the pericardium.

Background: Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) occurs due to extrinsic compression of the coeliac plexus, leading to postprandial and exercise-induced epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, food fear and weight loss. Diagnosis can be challenging as up to 25% of the population have radiological compression. However, only 1% of the population have corresponding symptoms.
