Investigation of effectiveness of effective area method for assessing undrained capacity of shallow rectangular foundations
No full textThis paper investigates the effectiveness of the effective area method (EAM) for assessing the undrained load-carrying capacity of rectangular foundations under combined vertical (V), horizontal (H) and moment loading (M) by comparing with finite-element method (FEM) results. Predicted ultimate limit states under combined loading from the two methods are compared and the equivalent rectangle derived from the EAM is compared with the contact region obtained from the FEM. For one-way eccentricity, good agreement in the V-M capacity is achieved with the two methods despite differences between the effective area and actual contact area. However, V-M capacity for two-way eccentricity obtained from the EAM is significantly smaller than that derived from the FEM, with the discrepancy becoming more pronounced with increasing mobilisation of the vertical capacity. V-H-M failure envelopes established by the EAM also fall significantly inside those determined using FEM. The contributing factors for the discrepancies are explored systematically in the paper
Smallest gaps between zeros of stationary Gaussian processes
No full textFeng R, Götze F, Yao D. Smallest gaps between zeros of stationary Gaussian processes. Journal of Functional Analysis. 2024;287(4): 110493.In this paper, we study the smallest gaps between successive zeros of nondegenerate smooth stationary centered Gaussian processes on the real line with the assumption that the covariance kernel kappa ( x ) and its derivatives decay to 0 as | x | -> infinity. We prove that, after rescaling, the smallest gaps converge to a Poisson point process with a specific rate. Moreover, the positions where these smallest gaps occur tend to a uniform distribution. Consequently, we can derive the limiting density for the k -th smallest gap. (c) 2024 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Inc.

Recent Advances in the Mutual Regulation of m6A Modification and Non-Coding RNAs in Atherosclerosis
No full textYanlu Wang, Sisi Ling, Hao Feng, Junkai Hua, Zhiyu Han, Renjie Chai Department of Cardiology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, 510260, People’s Republic of ChinaCorrespondence: Renjie Chai, Email [email protected]: Atherosclerosis, a progressive inflammatory disease of the arteries, remains a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Recent years have witnessed the pivotal role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation in regulating various biological processes, including those implicated in atherosclerosis. Current evidence suggested that m6A regulators (writers, erasers, and readers) participated in the modification of multiple non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), thereby affecting their metabolism and functions. Meanwhile, ncRNAs have also emerged as key modulator of m6A regulators expression in turn. Therefore, understanding the mutual regulation between m6A modifications and ncRNAs is of great significance to identify novel therapeutic targets for atherosclerosis and has great clinical application prospects. This review aims to summarize the recent advances in the reciprocal regulation and provide insights into the interaction between m6A modification and ncRNAs in the context of atherosclerosis.Keywords: N6-methyladenosine (m6A), non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), mutual regulation, atherosclerosis, epigenetic

Calcite U–Pb dating of altered ancient oceanic crust in the North Pamir, Central Asia
No full textThe North Pamir, part of the western syntax of the India-Asia collision zone, preserves remnants of a poorly understood Paleozoic intra-oceanic subduction zone.
To constrain the age of this ancient ocean floor, we analyzed calcite phases in vesicular basalt and basaltic volcanic breccia with U-Pb geochronology using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS).
Dating of radial fibrous to equant spary calcite yielded three meaningful Visean-Serpukhovian ages. Rare-earth elements and yttrium (REE + Y) data reveal that the basaltic host rock of the calcite and oxidizing seawater are major sources of trace elements during calcite precipitation.
U-Pb ages seem to be independent of REE + Y concentrations. Our results demonstrate the potential of calcite dating to constrain the age of ancient ocean floors.
We challenge the hypothesis that a continuous early Paleozoic Kunlun Terrane extended from northern Tibet into the North Pamir
Adaptive, Federated, and Resilient Health Monitoring via Novel Online Collaborative Learning Algorithms
No full textAdaptive monitoring of a large population of dynamic processes is critical for the timely detection of abnormal events under limited resources. This issue is pervasive in various sectors, including healthcare and engineering systems, due to the disparity between available monitoring resources and the large population of units, and the uncertain and heterogeneous dynamics of unit progression. To effectively address this problem, in this dissertation, we introduce advanced methodologies for designing adaptive monitoring strategies. We first develop an online collaborative learning framework that efficiently models and monitors a population of dependent units under resource constraints. We then develop a decentralized online collaborative framework that enables online modeling and monitoring of units with latent dynamics while preserving data privacy. Finally, we develop a novel robust online multi-task learning algorithm designed to capture latent structures inherent in the population from sequentially observed data under corruption. We have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed methods through rigorously proven theoretical analysis and experiments, including simulation studies and real-world world applications including cognitive degradation monitoring in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and battery degradation monitoring

Metaphors and Similes in van Gulik’s Self-Translation of The Chinese Maze Murder
No full textA prolific and versatile Dutch writer, translator and orientalist Robert Hans van Gulik (1910-1967), aka 高罗佩 Gao Luopei, has composed a series of historical detective novels 大å”狄公案 Datang Digong An ‘Celebrated Cases of Judge Dee’, which concerns an illustrious district magistrate and statesman ç‹„ä»æ° Di Renjie (630-704 AD), who competently investigates murder and corruption in Tang (618-907 AD) China. Upon publishing the debut work The Chinese Maze Murder (1951) in English, van Gulik renders it into a Chinese version entitled ç‹„ä»æ°å¥‡æ¡ˆ Di Renjie Qian, which is the only self-translation by the author-cum-translator. In the Chinese version of The Chinese Maze Murder, the vast majority of metaphors and similes are translated by means of conversion and deletion, so they can be regarded as covert translations in the sense of House (1977, 2014)
