This paper presents an original stochastic method of optimization (PGSL) for optimum design of truss structures.PGSL (Probabilistic Global Search Lausanne, developed at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Lausanne) has been inter-faced with a Cleaning Equipment finite element code, then applied and tested on several size optimization probl

Solvent extraction is a method implemented with the purpose to recover the remaining oil in spent bleaching earth.n-hexane is the most commonly used solvent in solvent extraction due to its advantages such as able to easily extract the oil and can be separated easily with low chances to form emulsions during the extraction process.Although n-hexane

Abstract RSL1D1 (ribosomal L1 domain containing 1), a member of the universal ribosomal protein uL1 family, was Socks suggested to be a new candidate target for colorectal cancer (CRC).However, the role of RSL1D1 in cancer, including CRC, remains largely elusive.Here, we demonstrated that RSL1D1 expression was significantly elevated in tumors from

Normal and pathological processes entail the production of oxidative substances that can damage biological molecules and harm physiological functions.Organisms have evolved complex mechanisms of antioxidant defense, and any imbalance between oxidative challenge and antioxidant protection can depress fitness components and accelerate senescence.Whil

Abstract Introduction Leiomyosarcomas are neoplasms of smooth muscles that most commonly arise from the uterus, gastrointestinal tract, or soft tissue.Primary pleural leiomyosarcoma is extremely rare.To the best of our knowledge, only nine cases have been published to date.Because of the rarity of pleural leiomyosarcoma and its similarity (clinical
