by minimizing the total potential energy function and deploying the virtual work principle, a higher-order stiffness matrix is achieved. this new tangent stiffness matrix is used to solve the frame with geometric nonlinear behavior. since authors’ formulation takes into account the higher-order terms of the strain vector, the convergence speed of the solution process will increase. in fact, bot...

OBJECTIVE To describe the results of the comparative study between both versions of an immunoassay commercialized for therapeutic drug monitoring of adalimumab (ADA) in rheumatoid arthritis (AR). MATERIAL AND METHODS 140 samples of patients with RA treated with ADA 40mg every 14 days were analyzed by both versions of the test (V1 or previous and V2 or updated). RESULTS A good correlation wa...

Zika virus has captivated the world with its quick spread throughout the Western Hemisphere. Increased emphasis has been placed on the infection of pregnant women and subsequent adverse and severe effects in the developing fetus and newborn. This article supplements a previous article and provides updated information on new and evolving evidence that strengthens the association between Zika vir...

The IRESite (http://www.iresite.org) presents carefully curated experimental evidence of many eukaryotic viral and cellular internal ribosome entry site (IRES) regions. At the time of submission, IRESite stored >600 records. The IRESite gradually evolved into a robust tool providing (i) biologically meaningful information regarding the IRESs and their experimental background (including annotati...

This is an updated version of the research-oriented Chapter 6 on Approximate Dynamic Programming. It will be periodically updated as new research becomes available, and will replace the current Chapter 6 in the book’s next printing. In addition to editorial revisions, rearrangements, and new exercises, the chapter includes an account of new research, which is collected mostly in Sections 6.3 an...

This paper presents a direct substructuring method to reduce the computing time of implicit simulations of single point incremental forming (SPIF). Substructuring is used to divide the finite element (FE) mesh into several non-overlapping parts. Based on the hypothesis that plastic deformation is localized, the substructures are categorized into two groups: the plastic—nonlinear—substructures a...

PURPOSE The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Physics Core Curriculum Subcommittee (PCCSC) has updated the recommended physics curriculum for radiation oncology resident education to improve consistency in teaching, intensity, and subject matter. METHODS AND MATERIALS The ASTRO PCCSC is composed of physicists and physicians involved in radiation oncology residency education. The...
