Structural evidence for the critical role of the prion protein hydrophobic region in forming an infectious prion. by Romany Abskharon, Fei Wang, Alexandre Wohlkonig, Juxin Ruan, Sameh Soror, Gabriele Giachin, Els Pardon, Wenquan Zou, Giuseppe Legname, Jiyan Ma, Jan Steyaert

“…In addition, when added to cultured mouse brain slices in high concentrations, Nb484 exhibits no neurotoxicity, which is drastically different from other neurotoxic anti-PrP antibodies, suggesting that the Nb484 can be a potential therapeutic agent against prion disease. In summary, our data provides the first structure-function evidence supporting a crucial role of the hydrophobic region of PrP in forming an infectious prion.…”

Predicting young Chinese consumers' intentions to purchase Western brands: Structural model analysis. by Fei Long, Miraj Ahmed Bhuiyan, Norzalita Abd Aziz, Muhammad Khalilur Rahman

“…A total of 314 usable responses were analyzed by the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The empirical findings indicated that cosmopolitanism has a significantly positive effect on brand attitudes and purchase intentions; ethnocentrism has a significantly negative effect on purchase intentions, but no significant impact on brand attitudes; and corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives positively affect brand attitudes rather than purchase intentions. …”

A structural health monitoring method proposal based on optical scanning and computational models by Wendy Flores-Fuentes, Ivan Yeniseysk Alba-Corpus, Oleg Sergiyenko, Julio C. Rodríguez-Quiñonez

“…The evaluation of such correlation is mandatory in order to verify if the observed bridge displacement is due to the nature of its operation or due to it is presenting structural damage. The proposed method is continuous structural health monitoring method, based on the combination of three approaches evaluated at laboratory environment: (1) a three-dimensional optical scanning system for displacement measurement, (2) a load measurement system for vehicle–bridge interaction assessment, and (3) a two-measurement systems data correlation; to be implemented in bridges at a real environment to collect their historical behavior. …”
