STATUS App: A Mobile Data Collection Tool for Buildings Adjacent to Tunneling Works

Buildings, 2019
In urban areas, tunneling works inevitably interfere with the adjacent buildings. In the preliminary design stage, designers usually do not inspect buildings adjacent to the construction sites, because these activities are often too expensive. This paper

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Study on the Influence and Deformation Control of Rich Water Foundation Excavation on Adjacent Buildings

Buildings
Taking the foundation pit of the Suzhou Chunshenhu Road Expressway Reconstruction Project as an example, the excavation process of the foundation pit was numerically simulated using a three-dimensional finite element method.

Wind Interference Effect for Overall Design Load on Mid-Rise Building

Journal of Engineering, 2018
The constructed building in the urban area is subject to wind characteristics due to the influence of surrounding buildings. The residential complexes currently being built in Iraq represent a case study for the subject of this research.

Safety Assessment of Ancient Buildings under Adjacent Subway Blasting Construction Based on the Optimized Fuzzy Optimal Method

Shock and Vibration, 2021
Fragile ancient buildings are recognized as an eloquent testimony to human civilization, and their safety should arouse more attention. According to the special case of adjacent blasting construction, the assessment model should be essentially built to ...

Experiments on Coupled Technique for Adjacent Similar Buildings [PDF]

International Journal of Engineering, 2020
Increasing the population, urbanization has led to the rapid construction of buildings. Due to space constraints and an increase in land cost, these buildings are built too close to each other and can cause damage under dynamic actions such as earthquakes.
