Steel Plate Shear Walls (SPSW) provide significant lateral load capacity and can be utilized in the seismic Collections 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 SP
Current methods for biomarker discovery and target identification in immuno-oncology rely on static snapshots of tumor immunity.To thoroughly characterize the temporal nature of antitumor immune responses, we developed a 34-parameter spectral flow cytometry panel and performed high-throughput analyses in critical contexts.We leveraged two distinct
The interactions of legumes with symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria cause the formation of specialized lateral root organs called root nodules.It has been postulated that this root nodule symbiosis system has recruited factors that act in early signaling pathways (common SYM genes) partly from the ancestral mycorrhizal symbiosis.However, the origin
Marine toxins have potent actions on diverse sodium ion channels regulated by Craft transmembrane voltage (voltage-gated ion channels) or by neurotransmitters (nicotinic acetylcholine receptor channels).Studies of these toxins have focused on varied aspects of venom peptides ranging from evolutionary relationships of predator and prey, biological a
Abstract Introduction Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are a significant health problem worldwide, especially among women.methenamine hippurate has been proposed as a preventive measure against recurrent UTIs.This updated systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of methenamine hippurate in preventing UTIs, incorporatin
