Stingless Honeybee’s Rare Sugar and PCSK 9 - LDLR Interaction, A New Hope for Hormone Dependent Breast Cancer Patients – An In-silico Study
Abstract: Hypercholesterolemia is a lipid disorder characterized by elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), commonly known as "bad" cholesterol. This condition is a significant risk factor in the development and progression of hormone-dependent breast cancer, as well as in the emergence of resistance to hormonal therapy. One of the key regulators of cholesterol metabolism is the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type-9 (PCSK9) protein, which facilitates the degradation of the LDL receptor (LDLR) …

CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE ANALYSIS OF HIGH-RISE STRUCTURE WITH CREEP AND SHRINKAGE EFFECT
Abstract: This study deals with a time-dependent analysis of reinforced concrete G+40 RC frame structures considering the construction sequence with the effect of creep and shrinkage analysis. Because of the non-mechanical deformations induced by the time-dependent deformations of concrete, concrete structures usually present different behaviors when the construction sequences are changed, despite having the same structural configurations. Therefore, the time-dependent effects of concrete such as creep and shrinkage must be taken …
