this paper examines differences in performances of a range of torsionally stiff and flexible single story buildings designed with the provisions of iranian standard 2800. seismic nonlinear dynamic time history behavior of eight building models subjected to seven horizontal bi-directional design spectra compatible ground motions are investigated. these models cover a wide range of very torsional...

Aim of study: Quercus variabilis is a sclerophyllous oak with strong resprouting capabilities and whose regeneration facilitated by the development stump shoots following disturbance. During secondary forest regeneration, fine roots are important organs relative to changes in stand characteristics. Here, we aimed provide novel insights into chemical composition variations seasonality root order...

We have examined the ribosomal structural proteins isolated from vegetatively growing Tetrahymena pyriformis and from cells that had been starved of all nutrients for 24 h. Reproducible, nonartifactual differences in protein complement, primarily associated with the large ribosomal subunit, were found. The kinetics of change in ribosomal protein complement were followed both in refed and in new...

Quercus seedlings have hypogeal cotyledons and tap roots, both of which act as storage organs. The importance of the storage function in the two organs may change as the seedling develops. Therefore, changes in carbohydrate reserves in cotyledons and roots of Q. crispula grown under 40 % and 3 % of full light from shoot emergence to the completion of the first leaf flush were monitored. In addi...
