Attributable to the fact that the buckling-restrained brace core yields both in tension and compression, it can absorb energy and exhibit high ductility rendering it proper in order to tolerate earthquick loads.One of the vital objectives of seismic standards is providing the appropriate ductility for the structures, because the structures, in case

The vigorous cytokine response of immune cells to Gram-negative bacteria is primarily mediated by a recognition molecule, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), which recognizes lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and initiates a series of intracellular NF-kappaB-associated signaling events.Recently, bladder epithelial cells (BECs) were reported to express TLR4 and to

Abstract Mediterranean agroecosystems are under increasing pressures by extreme weather events, which together with poor livestock grazing management bring the already degraded lands closer to desertification.To address these challenges, we develop a decision support manual for sustainable management of degraded lands based on local plant and anima
