Evaluating the predictive validity of four divergent thinking tasks for the originality of design product ideation

What factors predict the originality of domain-specific idea generation? Replicating and extending an earlier study using a Design Product Ideation task in an introductory university design course, the present research, grounded in the componential theory of creativity, assessed the relative contributions to originality of design ideation from five

Experimental and Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis Data for an Innovative Buckling Restrained Bracing System to Rehabilitate Seismically Deficient Structures

This article presents experimental data and nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA) modeling for an innovative buckling restrained bracing (BRB) system.The data were collected from qualification testing of introduced BRBs per the AISC 341 test provision and finite element modeling.The BRB is made of three parts: core bar, restraining unit, and en

MARCH8 Restricts RSV Replication by Promoting Cellular Apoptosis Through Ubiquitin-Mediated Proteolysis of Viral SH Protein

Numerous host factors function as intrinsic antiviral effectors to attenuate viral replication.MARCH8 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that has been identified as a host restriction factor that inhibits the replication of various viruses.This study elucidated the mechanism by which MARCH8 restricts respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) replication through sel
