The response of laterally loaded piles installed near the crest of clay slopes is analysed. Three-dimensional finite element analyses are presented for piles at various distances from a slope crest...

Objective To explore the related influencing mechanism of miR-384 and miR-134-5p acting on Yin Yang 1 (YY1) signaling transduction on the biological function of gastric cancer (GC) cells. Methods miR-384, miR-134-5p and YY1 levels in human GC cell lines KATO III, MKN-45, SNU-1 and normal gastric cell line GES-1 were measured by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Dual luciferase reporter (DLR) gene assay and Western blot (WB) were employed for correlation analysis between miR-384, miR-134-5p and YY1. miR-384-inhibitor, miR-384-mimics, empty plasmid (miRNA-NC) and sh-YY1 were transfected into KATO III cells. Cell proliferation was determined by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-Diphenyl Tetrazolium Bromide (MTT), cell invasion was measured by Transwell, and apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry (FC). Results In KATO III, MKN-45 and SNU-1 cell lines, YY1 was upregulated while miR-384 and miR-134-5p were downregulated (P

Three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis is used to investigate the vertical and horizontal bearing capacity of internal skirted foundations in normally consolidated uniform clay under undrai...

Two Cd(II) coordination polymers constructed from tris(p-carboxylphenyl)phosphine oxide (H3TPO), [Cd(HTPO)(1,4-bix)·3H2O]n (1) and [Cd2(HTPO)(HBPO)(H2O)2]n (2) (1,4-bix = 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethy...
