EFFECT OF NEAR-FAULT EARTHQUAKE CHARACTERISTICS ON SEISMIC RESPONSE OF MID-RISE STRUCTURES WITH TRIPLE FRICTION PENDULUM ISOLATOR

Effect of Near-Fault Earthquake Characteristics on Seismic Response of Mid-Rise Structures with Triple Friction Pendulum Isolator

Pulses of near-fault earthquakes are Bindings very effective in the seismic response of the Triple Friction Pendulum Isolator (TFPI).In previous studies, the effect of original bi-directional pulses components on the isolated tall buildings by TFPI was neglected.Also, the effect of changing the design parameters of TFPI on preventing seismic disast

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Adaptive Dynamics

Adaptive dynamics is a mathematical framework for studying evolution.It extends evolutionary game theory to account for more realistic ecological dynamics and it can incorporate both frequency- and density-dependent selection.This is a practical guide to adaptive dynamics that aims to illustrate how the methodology can be applied to the study of sp

A sensitive serodiagnostic tool for the detection of active infection of zoonotic visceral and nasopharyngeal linguatulosis

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the different serological techniques for early diagnosis of acute concurrent RTF infections with linguatulosis in the definitive host (dogs) and an intermediate host (goats).This evaluation compared between the gold standard (GS) test (GS; examination of nasal and fecal samples in dogs and examination of lymph node
