Implementing quadrangular hollow blocks on breakwaters is a common method for wave mitigation and ocean disaster prevention.In order to Bondage improve the wave-damping performance of conventional quadrangular hollow blocks, a new quadrangular hollow block is proposed.In this study, a series of physical modeling experiments were conducted in a two-
Structural diversity and biological importance of ABO, H, Lewis and secretor histo-blood group carbohydrates
ABSTRACT ABO, H, secretor and Lewis histo-blood system genes control the expression of part of Dumbbells the carbohydrate repertoire present in areas of the body occupied by microorganisms.These carbohydrates, besides having great structural diversity, act as potential receptors for pathogenic and non-pathogenic microorganisms influencing susceptib
Seismic Design of Bridges against Near-Fault Ground Motions Using Combined Seismic Isolation and Restraining Systems of LRBs and CDRs
This paper focuses on the seismic isolation design of near-fault bridges under the seismic excitations of near-fault ground motions in high-intensity earthquake zones and proposes a combined control system using lead rubber bearings (LRBs) and cable displacement restrainers (CDRs) along with ductility seismic resistance for the reinforced concrete
Fertility and nuptiality changes in Central and Eastern Europe: 1982-1993
Central and east European countries are in the midst of a major demographic change, that for the most part appears to have been brought about by the on-going political, economic and social transformation of these countries.The strength of the change varies considerably across Sensor Kit the counties, quite likely as a consequence of the variations
