Selected applications of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sandwich structural elements in building and bridge construction are discussed. It is shown how in building construction this technology enables the integration of functions such as load-bearing capacity, thermal insulation, daylight entry and energy production, into single, large-scale and lightweight roof or façade panels. In bridge cons...

melanocortin-1 (mc1) receptor is an attractive melanoma-specific target for the development of α-msh peptide based imaging and therapeutic agents. in this work a new lactam bridge α-msh analogue was synthesized and radiolabeled with 99mtc via hynic chelator and tricine as co-ligand. also, stability in human serum, receptor bound internalization and tissue biodistribution in tumor bearing nude m...

The bridge has been a crucial element of the transportation system U.S.A. for many years. National Bridge Inventory (NBI) reported more than 615,000 national bridges in 2018. Maintaining and fixing is task agencies to keep road network connected. Louisiana, which 12,899 bridges, was selected as study site this study. American Road Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) 2019 that 13% all Lo...

Two triarylamine centers bridged through an aliphatic bridge feature unexpected charge transfer properties, bearing an important electronic coupling between them in the absence of a π linker; EPR, electrochemistry, electronic spectroscopy and first principles molecular calculations are combined to study the electronic structure of this compound.

Bridge deflection is a very important parameter for bridge structure. It directly reflects the vertical overall stiffness of structure, and an basis reflecting linear change bridge. closely related to bearing capacity ability resist earthquake other dynamic loads. Computer vision obtain image data through acquisition device, use special processing software get shape displacement information obj...

During ATP hydrolysis by F(1)-ATPase subunit γ rotates in a hydrophobic bearing, formed by the N-terminal ends of the stator subunits (αβ)(3). If the penultimate residue at the α-helical C-terminal end of subunit γ is artificially cross-linked (via an engineered disulfide bridge) with the bearing, the rotary function of F(1) persists. This observation has been tentatively interpreted by the unf...

Melanocortin-1 (MC1) receptor is an attractive melanoma-specific target for the development of α-MSH peptide based imaging and therapeutic agents. In this work a new lactam bridge α-MSH analogue was synthesized and radiolabeled with 99mTc via HYNIC chelator and tricine as co-ligand. Also, stability in human serum, receptor bound internalization and tissue biodistribution in tumor bearing nude m...

of bridges are typically based on simplified analyses or empirical data from recent earthquakes. Since earthquake damage data are very scarce in the central and southeastern United States (CSUS), using analytical methods is the only feasible approach to obtain fragility curves. In 1990, bridges in the CSUS began incorporating seismic details. Some of the changes included the component design fo...
