STRUCTURAL RELIABILITY OPTIMIZATION DESIGN OF REINFORCED SHELL MODEL BASED ON ADAPTIVE SURROGATE MODEL by LIU YuZhuo, CAO LiXiong, WU JianGuo, LI HaiBo

“…Reinforced shell structure is widely used in aerospace load-bearing structures because its high specific stiffness and specific strength.By considering the uncertainty and risk factors in the structural parameters，the Reliability-Based Design Optimization （RBDO） can avoid the overly conservative design of the structure and ensure its reliability and safety.An efficient RBDO method based on adaptive agent model was proposed.This method solves the problem of lightweight design of reinforced shell structure under buckling reliability constraints.The adaptive addition of sample points was implemented through the expected feasibility function criterion，and the discrete variables was continued by constructing piecewise functions.This increases optimization efficiency while ensuring the reliability of design results.Finally，the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by comparing the RBDO results with the deterministic optimization results.…”

Pectin extraction from cocoa husk of different genotypes and stages of ripeness by Enrique Arévalo-Gardini, Cesar Oswaldo Arévalo-Hernández, Virupax Baligar, Dapeng Zhang

“…Results showed that genotype and ripeness significantly affect extraction efficiency and pectin functionality. The highest pectin yield was 77.7% for IMC-67 (ripe) and 72.6% for CCN51 (semi-ripe) at optimal conditions (pH 1.5–1.6, 80 °C, 75 minutes). …”

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and loss-of-function of the protein underlie the X-linked epilepsy associated with the W356× mutation in synapsin I. by Maila Giannandrea, Fabrizia C Guarnieri, Niels H Gehring, Elena Monzani, Fabio Benfenati, Andreas E Kulozik, Flavia Valtorta

“…Given that the NMD efficiency is highly variable among individuals and cell types, we investigated also the effects of expression of the mutant protein and found that it is expressed at lower levels compared to wild-type synapsin I, forms perinuclear aggregates and is unable to reach presynaptic terminals in mature hippocampal neurons grown in culture. …”

Energy Consumption and Economic Growth Nexus: Insights from EU Member States by Dalina-Maria ANDREI

“…It searches for some short/long term relationships of these through a panel type model, based on the Cobb-Douglas neoclassic production function. Reference examples in the literature and tests applied for unit roots and cointegration determine our option for an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model able to identify both common coefficients of long-term relationship between variables and individual (specific to each EU member country) coefficients on short-term relationships. …”
