Genetic Variation in CCL5 Signaling Genes and Triple Negative Breast Cancer: Susceptibility and Prognosis Implications by Jingxuan Shan (4711089)

“…We found a highly significant association between the <b><i>CCND1</i></b><b> </b><b>rs614367-TT</b> genotype (OR = 5.14; <i>P</i> = 0.004) and TNBC risk, and identified a significant association between the <b>rs614367-T</b> allele and decreased PFS in TNBC. …”

FEA Investigation of Elastic Buckling for Functionally Graded Material (FGM) Thin Plates with Different Hole Shapes under Uniaxial Loading by Elkafrawy, Mohamed

“…Moreover, the lower the power law index, the higher the critical buckling load. The diamond shape opening shows the best performance in terms of the critical buckling load, and the effect of the plate thickness has a more significant influence on the critical buckling load of the FGM plate compared to the size of the opening.…”
