The behavior of braced steel frame structures is of special importance due to its extensive use.Also the application of active and semi-active control systems, regarding to their benefits in obtaining better seismic performance has increased significantly.The majority of the works on steel structures and steel connections has been done under Arm Ch
Abstract Background This paper describes the rationale and design of the ENVIS-ion Study, which aims to determine whether low-dose aspirin reduces the development of white matter hyper-intense (WMH) lesions and silent brain infarction (SBI).Additional aims include determining whether a) changes in retinal vascular imaging (RVI) parameters parallel
Abstract Background The transition to a parasitic lifestyle entails comprehensive changes to the selective regime.In parasites, genes encoding for traits that facilitate host detection, exploitation and transmission should be under selection.Slavemaking ants are social parasites that exploit the altruistic behaviour of their hosts by stealing heter
There is growing consensus that genome organization and long-range gene regulation involves partitioning of the genome into domains of distinct epigenetic chromatin Arm Chair states.Chromatin insulator or barrier elements are key components of these processes as they can establish boundaries between chromatin states.The ability of elements such as
Refining raw disparity maps from different algorithms to exploit their complementary advantages is still challenging.Uncertainty estimation and complex disparity relationships among pixels limit the accuracy and robustness of existing methods and there is no standard method for fusion Gastrointestinal - Anti-Nausea of different kinds of depth data.
