A Refined Spatiotemporal ZTD Model of the Chinese Region Based on ERA and GNSS Data by Yongzhao Fan, Fengyu Xia, Zhimin Sha, Nana Jiang

“…However, existing models experience insufficient ZTD profile refinement, inadequate correction for systematic bias between the ZTD used in empirical modelling and the GNSS ZTD, and low time efficiency in model updating as more data become available. Therefore, a refined spatiotemporal empirical ZTD model was developed in this study on the basis of the fifth generation of European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis (ERA5) data and GNSS data. …”

Crosstalk between metabolism and epigenetics during macrophage polarization by Kangling Zhang, Chinnaswamy Jagannath

“…These epigenetic modifications control gene expression by regulating chromatin accessibility, thereby modulating macrophage function and polarization. Histone acetylation generally promotes a more open chromatin structure conducive to gene activation, while histone methylation can either activate or repress gene expression depending on the specific residue and its methylation state. …”

Multidimensional Fragility Analysis for a NEES Frame Structure by Integrating a New Energy Damage Index: Cumulative Plastic Strain by Qiang Wang, Ziyan Wu

“…Results show that (1) CPS damage index can fully consider the cumulative effect of damage under earthquakes, which makes up for the deficiency of the interstory drift damage index in this aspect, (2) the multidimensional fragility framework can deal with the PLS correlation and EDP correlation simultaneously, which will generate a more precise seismic damage assessment result, and (3) multidimensional fragility is sensitive to PLS threshold values and PLS correlation parameters.…”
