Isolation of Integrin‐Based Adhesion Complexes [PDF]
Current Protocols in Cell Biology, 2015 AbstractThe integration of cells with their extracellular environment is facilitated by cell surface adhesion receptors, such as integrins, which play important roles in both normal development and the onset of pathologies. Engagement of integrins with their ligands in the extracellular matrix, or counter‐receptors on other cells, initiates the ...

Soil–Structure Interaction Consideration for Base Isolated Structures under Earthquake Excitation
Buildings, 2023 This study aims to analytically implement base isolation with soil–structure interaction (SSI) on a sample structure and to develop a very simple solution to add these combined effects into the mass, damping and stiffness matrices of the structure.

Enhanced Seismic Protection System for an Emergency Diesel Generator Unit
Energies, 2022 Nuclear power plants are required to maintain operation after an earthquake, leading to a safe shutdown if necessary. In the case of a loss of offsite power, the onsite emergency diesel generator is critical to ensure procedural operations of the nuclear
