Sequence variation in the haemagglutinin-neuraminidase gene of human parainfluenza virus type 3 isolates in the UK [PDF]
The sequence variation in a 934 base-pair region of the gene encoding the haemagglutinin-neuraminidase of five human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV3) isolates was determined together with that of a prototype UK strain. All of the clinical isolates were

Analytical Behavior of Multi-Storied Building with Base Isolation Subjected to Earthquake Loading
This study involves analysis of multi-storied building to explain the behavior under seismic earthquake loading in two cases, (i.e. with or without base isolation system).

Enhancing Friction Pendulum Isolation Systems Using Passive and Semi-Active Dampers
Friction pendulum systems (FPSs) are a common solution for isolating civil engineering structures under ground movements. The result is a base-isolated structure in which the base exhibits low shear stiffness in such a way that the input energy of the ...
