In Southwestern China, there exists deep river valleys and abundant rainfall, which leads to a large number of reverse-dip rock slopes.In order to investigate the evolution characteristics of toppling deformation of reverse-dip slope under the influence of rainfall, and a typical reverse-dip slope was taken as an engineering case.Firstly, the tempo
Cholesterol lowering effect of a soy drink enriched with plant sterols in a French population with moderate hypercholesterolemia
Abstract Background Plant sterols are an established non-pharmacological means to reduce total and LDL blood cholesterol concentrations and are therefore recommended for cholesterol management by worldwide-renown health care institutions.Their efficacy has been proven in many types of foods with the majority of trials conducted in spreads or dairy
Carpark pollutant yields from first flush stormwater runoff
Stormwater runoff from carparks should be treated to remove pollutants before they enter urban waterways; however, differences in traffic characteristics and surrounding tasoliesi land use activities can result in varying first flush pollutant types and concentrations requiring specific treatment approaches.An understanding of potential variations
Exploration of the effects of the CYCLOPS gene RBM17 in hepatocellular carcinoma.
BACKGROUND:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most lethal and malignant tumours worldwide.New therapeutic targets for HCC are urgently needed.CYCLOPS (copy number alterations yielding cancer liabilities owing to partial loss) genes have been noted to be associated with cancer-targeted therapies.Therefore, we intended to explore the effect
