Effect of Steel Slag Fine Aggregate on the Seismic Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Columns with Steel Slag Sand by Tianhai Zhao, Dongling Zhang, Qiang Jin, Sen Li, Xuanxuan Liu

“…Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism through which SSA influences the seismic performance of SSCCs remains insufficiently understood, and current analytical models fail to accurately capture the effects of bond strength on structural behavior. In this study, a comprehensive experimental program comprising central pull-out tests and quasi-static cyclic loading tests was conducted to investigate the influence of SSA on bond strength and the seismic response of SSCCs. …”

The repressor PrtR1 and the global H-NS-like regulators MvaT and MvaV enable the fine-tuning of R-tailocin expression in Pseudomonas protegens by Clara Margot Heiman, Hammam Antar, Florian Fournes, Christoph Keel, Jordan Vacheron

“…By combining reverse genetics, transcriptional reporters and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq), we show that the R-tailocin locus-specific LexA-like regulator PrtR1 represses R-tailocin gene expression by binding directly to the promoter region of the cluster, while the histone-like nucleoid structuring (H-NS) proteins MvaT and MvaV act as master regulators that indirectly regulate R-tailocin cluster expression. …”

CEREBRAL NEURODYNAMICS IN PATIENTS WITH STROKE AND UPPER LIMB INJURIES DURING REHABILITATION by B. I. Vakhitov, I. S. Raginov, I. Kh. Vakhitov

“…Rehabilitation of such patients should include dynamic electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring, since the information about the functional state of cerebral structures is necessary for organizing an effective rehabilitation program, predicting and assessing treatment outcomes.We have examined 26 patients with cerebral stroke (14 men and 12 women aged 42–65 years) in the early stages with the leading neurological syndrome manifesting as spastic hemiparesis and 27 patients with extension fractures of the distal radial physis (after manual reposition and plaster splint removal) at different stages of their rehabilitation with a week interval.We found that changes in brain electric activity (from similar leads of the contralateral hemisphere) were more significant in patients with acute stroke, which can be associated with specific changes in the cerebral rhythms after stroke, since deep location of the alteration focus results in more diffused EEG symptoms due to conducting paths. …”
