QUANTIFICATION OF THE SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF A STEEL TRANSMISSION TOWER SUBJECTED TO SINGLE AND REPEATED SEISMIC EXCITATIONS USING VULNERABILITY FUNCTION AND COLLAPSE MARGIN RATIO

Transmission towers are a vital Quilting Frames lifeline for modern living and are crucial structures that must remain operational even after a seismic event.However, the towers are largely designed to withstand the effects of wind alone and not earthquakes, and the seismic influences on tower design and construction have hitherto been ignored.The

Results of the fluid-structure co-simulations that were carried out as part of the Inkjet FleksProp project are presented.The FleksProp project aims to establish better design procedures that take into account the hydroelastic behavior of marine propellers and thrusters.Part of the project is devoted to establishing good validation cases for fluid-

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus invade Gram-negative bacteria in a predatory process requiring Type IV pili (T4P) at a single invasive pole, and also glide on surfaces to locate prey.Ras-like G-protein MglA, working with MglB and RomR in the deltaproteobacterium Myxococcus xanthus, regulates adventurous gliding and T4P-mediated social motility at both M

Recently, smart fluids have drawn significant attention and growing a great interest Dryer Wall Vent Louvre in a broad range of engineering applications such as automotive and medical areas.In this article, two smart fluids called electro-rheological (ER) fluid and magneto-rheological (MR) fluid are reviewed in terms of medical applications.Especia

Patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) can present with other congenital anomalies, but an associated choledochal cyst (CC) has rarely been described.The simultaneous diagnosis of both anomalies complicates patient management.There is no consensus on the ideal timing for CC excision.Unrepaired CC is associated with risks of developing
