An approach to seismic analysis of Dryer Door Handle bridges under spatially variable ground motions is presented.The phenomenon of spatial variability of earthquakes, its effects on bridge response, and differences with respect to simultaneous excitation of supports, are explained.The model of such excitation is described in detail, and procedures
Background: Leishmania is a parasitic protozoan of trypanosomatidae family which causes a wide spectrum of diseases ranging from self-healing cutaneous lesions to deadly visceral forms.In endemic areas, field trials of different preparations of Leishmania total antigen were tested as leishmaniasis vaccine.Two preparations of killed Leishmania major
The article presents the Pillboxes analysis of properties of the high-strength AlZnMgCu (abbr AlZn) aluminium alloy and estimates possibilities of its application for responsible structures with reduced weight as an alternative to iron alloy castings.The aim of the conducted studies was to develop and select the best heat treatment regime for a 7xx
Locomotion requires the proper sequencing of neural activity to start, maintain, and stop it.Recently, brainstem neurons were shown to specifically stop locomotion in mammals.However, the cellular properties of these neurons and their Strut Lifter Switch activity during locomotion are still unknown.Here, we took advantage of the lamprey model to ch
