Intratumor microbiota in thyroid cancer: emerging insights into tumorigenesis and therapeutic potential

Thyroid cancer incidence has risen sharply in recent decades, yet the mechanisms underlying tumor development and progression remain incompletely understood. Recent evidence reveals that tumors, including thyroid malignancies, harbor distinct microbial communities, termed intratu...

Energy dissipation index for masonry walls with wallposts under vertical seismic effects

An energy dissipation index (EDI = Etot/(Puδu)) is proposed as an independent, dimensionless performance metric derived from a pool of 275 simulated out-of-plane (OoP) pressure–displacement (P–δ) curves obtained from pre-validated three-dimensional finite-element (FE) simulations...
