Fluid-Structure Interaction of Vibrating Composite Piezoelectric Plates Using Exponential Shear Deformation Theory by Korosh Khorshidi, Mahdi Karimi

“…After deriving the governing equations applying Hamilton’s principle, the natural frequencies of the fluid-structure system with simply supported boundary conditions are computed using the Galerkin method. The model is compared to the available results in the literature, and consequently the effects of different variables such as depth of fluid, the width of fluid, plate thickness, and aspect ratio on natural frequencies and mode shapes are displayed.…”

Association between myosteatosis or sarcopenia based on abdominal CT and hypertension in systemic lupus erythematosus patients by Bowen Wang, Liping Zuo, Jinlei Fan, Wei Zhao, Yueming An, Wangshu Cai, Dexin Yu

“…Methods This was a retrospective study involving SLE patients enrolled from January 2017 to August 2023 and who underwent abdominal CT at the L3 level to track myosteatosis and sarcopenia based on the skeletal muscle mean radiodensity (SMD) and skeletal muscle index considered as binary and continuous variables. The association between these body composition measures and hypertension was tested using logistic regression analyses, while mediation modeling was used to assess the mediators. …”
