To assess the post-earthquake seismic safety of buildings, it is crucial to predict response, and necessary set appropriate physical parameters response analysis model. Numerous methods have been proposed identify parameters. However, most them are limited linear systems, previous researches on nonlinear systems difficulties in practical applications. In this paper, a model identified for full-...

Computing the nondominated set of a multiple objective mathematical program has long been a topic in multiple criteria decision making. In this paper, motivated by the desire to extend Markowitz portfolio selection to an additional linear criterion (dividends, liquidity, sustainability, etc.), we demonstrate an exact method for computing the nondominated set of a tri-criterion program that is a...

introduction: radioimmunotherapy (rit) is a very promising new therapy for the treatment of recurrent b-cell non-hodgkin's lymphoma (nhl). iodine-131 is the most frequently used nuclide in clinical rit, but its usefulness has been limited by dehalogenation of monoclonal antibodies labeled via conventional methods. to circumvent this problem, we have synthesized a tri-peptide consisting of non-m...

BACKGROUND Environmental justice research has shown that many communities of color and low-income persons are differentially burdened by noxious land uses including Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) facilities. However, limited work has been performed to assess how these populations tend to be both overburdened and medically underserved. We explored this "double disparity" for the first time in Mar...

PURPOSE The objective of this study was to evaluate the interrater reliability, construct validity, and sensitivity of Toronto Rehabilitation Institute-Hand Function Test (TRI-HFT), within an interventional randomized control trial. METHOD Twenty-one participants with subacute C4 to C7 spinal cord injury (SCI) were recruited. Based on randomization, participants were allocated to either the f...

Exposure to biocides may result in cross-resistance to other antimicrobials. Changes in biocide and antibiotic susceptibilities, metabolism, and fitness costs were studied here in biocide-selected Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae mutants. E. coli and K. pneumoniae mutants with various degrees of triclosan susceptibility were obtained after exposure to triclosan (TRI), benzalkonium chl...

Extensive bibliography on isomerism of cyanuric acid is presented. Nine possible isomers of cyanuric acid are characterized computationally. The tri-oxo tautomer is by far the most stable isomer of cyanuric acid. The tri-hydroxy form is by more than 100 kJ mol 1 higher in energy than tri-oxo. Cyanuric acid under all experimental conditions exists as tri-oxo tautomer. g r a p h i c a l a b s t r...
