A study was conducted for the flexural retrofit of an old apartment house composed a reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall structure. For wall, vertical performed to both ends targeting slender improve performance. The materials were steel plate, epoxy, and non-shrink grout, they connected existing using post-installed chemical anchors. at broken retrofitted as much necessary maintain wall’s leng...

Abstract This research was conducted to reinforce the sheet pile located on embankment of Ciliwung Lama river – Inspection Road (RSCM) in Central Jakarta. The road is beside riverbanks collapsed for 40 m and position that slopes towards river. Based field observations analysis stability carried out, road’s collapse not due unstableness but inability receive lateral soil pressure. method used Pl...

The mechanisms underlying Golgi targeting and vesiculation are unknown, although the responsible phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns(4)P) ligand and four-phosphate-adaptor protein (FAPP) modules have been defined. The micelle-bound structure of the FAPP1 pleckstrin homology domain reveals how its prominent wedge independently tubulates Golgi membranes by leaflet penetration. Mutations comp...

We carry out Monte Carlo simulations of the three dimensional (3D) lattice London superconductor in zero applied magnetic field, making a detailed finite size scaling analysis of the Meissner transition. We find that the magnetic penetration length l and the correlation length j scale as l , j , jtj2n , with n ­ 0.66 6 0.03, consistent with ordinary 3D XY universality, nXY ø 2y3. Our results co...

Two qualitatively different scenarios for the penetration of relativistically intense laser radiation into an overdense plasma, accessible by self-induced transparency, are presented. In the first one, penetration of laser energy occurs by solitonlike structures moving into the plasma. This scenario occurs at plasma densities less than approximately 1.5 times the critical one (depending on ion ...

(1) Na wire [2] The single-row sodium nanowires exhibit conductance oscillation and bunching of high electron density with two atom-lengths in the channel density distribution. The relationship between the period of the conductance oscillation and the length of the bunches is interpreted using a simplified model. The difference in the penetration parameters between the incident Bloch wave and t...

The influence of selected semen extenders on the motility of frozen-thawed dog spermatozoa has been clearly demonstrated in several studies, although there are no reports indicating the effect of swim-up purification on sperm viability in this species of mammals. Therefore, this study was aimed at investigating phosphatidylserine (PS) externalization and necrosis in sperm after variable lengths...
