cell walls prepured from its mycelia. RSC-a inhibited . more strong}y the re-extension of the hyphae, containing mainly mature cells, than RSC-c did. Upon incubation of the fungus vvith fluorescent chitinases, FITC}abeled RSC-a was found to be located in the hyphal tips, lateral walls, and septa, whi]e FITC-labeled RSC-c was only in the hyphal tip. RSC-a had a greater aMnity for the cell walls...

the main cause of structural damage in buildings subjected to seismic actions is lateral drift. in almost all reinforced concrete (rc) structures, whether designed with walls or frames, it is likely to be the code drift limits that control the design drift. the design drift limits and their contribution to damage may be represented indirectly through the material strain limits. the aim of this ...

This paper presents the ballistic limit for the non-filled aluminium tank. The main objective was to determine the ballistic limit for the front and rear wall of the tank. In the experiment study, the aluminium tank was 3 mm thick, 150 mm wide and 750 mm long. It was impacted by the fragment simulating projectile (FSP) with the velocity from 239 m/s up to 556 m/s. The numerical models were crea...

This paper presents an analytical investigation on the peak lateral displacement demands of “hybrid” precast concrete panelized shear wall structures under seismic loading. The hybrid wall structure investigated uses a combination of mild [i.e., Grade 400 (U.S. Grade 60)] steel bars and highstrength unbonded post-tensioning (PT) strands for lateral resistance across horizontal joints. The analy...

conclusions pci was accompanied by some improvement in left atrial deformation indices as assessed by tissue doppler imaging. revascularization can, therefore, improve patient outcome. results regarding changes in left trial functional parameters after pci, those such as the strain of the septal wall and the anterior and inferior walls and the strain rate of the anterior and lateral walls signi...

OBJECTIVE To compare the diagnostic findings of ultrasonography and radiography in nasal fractures. DESIGN AND MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES In this prospective study, 63 patients (23 female and 40 male; mean age, 26.8 years) with clinical signs of a nasal bone fracture were investigated. All patients underwent radiography (lateral view of the nose plus occipitomental view) and ultrasonography (10-MH...

Design of shear walls is a complex procedure, especially if the cross section of the shear wall is not regular in shape. Shear walls are usually treated like cantilevers fixed at the foundation level. Normally, lift wells are designed as shear walls. The design of shear walls takes horizontal forces into account by shear and bending. Design for shear in the walls can be managed by computing the...

Morphological limbs defects are the most frequent in horses. The aim of this study was to establish prevalence, associated effects and genetic parameters hock knee Pura Raza Española horses, using two different approaches. In Approach_1, analysed were closed, open, convergent divergent studied buck, calf, bench knock. Defects classified into 3 levels: 0 no defect, 1 slight defect 2 serious defe...

Using of CFRP carbon sheets because of their high strength, lightness and ease of use have been very expanded in retrofitting concrete members. Including shear walls systems FRP can be used in order to rebuild or maintain the strength of an aged structural member. Repairing, or retrofitting of the intact structural member is conducted to enhance the structural resistance that was deteriorated d...

In this paper evaluation of seismic capacity of a historical building is carried out. It had been used as a national library about 40 years ago. Also, before that, it had been constructed as a part of a Royal complex. This building has been constructed by traditional methods using bricks and mortars. The ceilings system of the structure consists of jack arches. Also, the roof of the building ha...
