A 54-story steel, perimeter-frame building in downtown Los Angeles, California, is identified by a wave method using records of the Northridge earthquake of 1994 (ML=6.4, R=32 km). The building is represented as a layered shear beam and a torsional shaft, characterized by the corresponding velocities of vertically propagating waves through the structure. The previously introduced waveform inver...

Rundle* and Patrik Nosil Department of Zoology and Entomology, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland 4072, Australia Department of Biological Sciences, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC V5A 1S6, Canada *Correspondence: E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Ecological processes are central to the formation of new species when barriers to gene flow (reproductive isolation) evo...

We investigate enhanced EW corrections to inclusive hard processes in the TeV energy region with emphasis on the small-x situation, in which the hard scale Q is significantly smaller than the available energy √ s ≡ Q/x. We first propose and justify a general factorization formula in which the (double-log) EW form factor at scale Q is factorized from EW parton distribution functions, which satis...

BACKGROUND Electromechanical wave imaging (EWI) is an entirely noninvasive, ultrasound-based imaging method capable of mapping the electromechanical activation sequence of the ventricles in vivo. Given the broad accessibility of ultrasound scanners in the clinic, the application of EWI could constitute a flexible surrogate for the 3-dimensional electrical activation. OBJECTIVE The purpose of ...

Previous research indicates that early weaning before shipment can reduce transportation-induced increases in acute-phase proteins (APP) and can increase feedlot performance in beef calves. These data suggest that the combination of weaning and transport stress may compromise the immune system of calves, thus hindering subsequent performance and health. Therefore, our objective was to determine...

ABSTRACT We use spatially resolved spectroscopy of a distant giant gravitational arc to test orientation effects on Mg ii absorption equivalent width (EW) and covering fraction (???) in the circumgalactic medium foreground star-forming galaxy (G1) at z ? 0.77. Forty-two spatially-binned positions uniformly sample impact parameters (D) G1 between 10 30 kpc azimuthal angles ? 30° 90° (minor axis)...

BACKGROUND Alcoholism may result in severe neurological deficits and cognitive impairments. Many of the central effects of ethanol (EtOH) can be explained by upregulation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and downregulation of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptors (GABAA) in response to long-term EtOH consumption. Abrupt ethanol withdrawal (EW) may result in neuronal hyperexcitability leading...

'Electrolyzed water' generators are readily available in the food industry as a renewable source of hypochlorous acid that eliminates the need for workers to handle hazardous hypochlorite concentrates. We applied electrolyzed water (EW) directly to multi-strain cocktails of Listeria monocytogenes, E. coli O157:H7, and Salmonella sp. at 250 ppm free available chlorine (FAC) and achieved greater ...
