Steel Plate Shear Walls (SPSW) provide significant lateral load capacity and can be utilized in the seismic retrofit and upgrade of existing reinforced concrete (r/c) buildings.In this study, the application of SPSW to retrofit a r/c building designed according to older seismic provisions is presented.Three different options to model SPSW are utili
Abstract The results show the morphological misbhv tank top analyses and spectroscopic studies of snow and glacier algae and their parasitic fungi in Svalbard (High Arctic).Fixed algal cells of two species, Sanguina nivaloides and Ancylonema nordenskioeldii, were imaged using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force mi
ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review on the morphological characteristics of the skull base att nighthawk hotspot (flexion, anterior length and posterior length) and the concomitant development of malocclusions, by comparing differences in dimorphism, ethnicity and age.Methods: The articles were selected by m
Upper Triassic and Middle Jurassic strata of the Xichang Basin in Sichuan Province, southwestern China, yielded important dinosaur ichnofossils.From the Xujiahe Formation of the Yiguojiao tracksite, we report a Late Triassic footprint assemblage in China and the first discovery of diagnostic Triassic sauropodomorph tracks in this region.The tracks
