Nectria galligena as the cause of a collar rot disease in organically grown Topaz apple trees [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Symptoms resembling collar rot were detected in organically managed Topaz trees aged 3-10 years, occur-ring one to several years after planting of the orchard. Trees were killed within the same growing season in which symptoms were first observed.

Metaheuristics-Based Optimization of a Control System Consisting of Underground Tuned Mass Dampers and Base Isolators for Seismic Structures

open access: yesGeoHazards
To reduce earthquake damage and its effect on the structures, tuned mass dampers (TMDs) are generally positioned on the top of the structures for effectiveness, but existing TMDs on the story levels have problems due to space and additional vertical load

Advancing seismic performance: Isolators, TMDs, and multi-level strategies in reinforced concrete buildings

open access: yesOpen Engineering
This study evaluates seismic mitigation methods, including high damping rubber bearing, lead rubber bearing, double sliding pendulum (DSP), and tuned mass damper (TMD), considering earthquake intensity, building height, and isolation level. Moreover, the

Hybrid Passive Control Strategies for Reducing the Displacements at the Base of Seismic Isolated Structures

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment, 2019
In this paper, the use of hybrid passive control strategies to mitigate the seismic response of a base-isolated structure is examined. The control performance of three different types of devices used for reducing base displacements of isolated buildings ...

Glider: A GPU Library Driver for Improved System Security [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Legacy device drivers implement both device resource management and isolation. This results in a large code base with a wide high-level interface making the driver vulnerable to security attacks.

Seismic analysis of base isolated buildings [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Computational Methods in Engineering, 1997
This paper presents a survey of the numerical simulation of base isolation systems for the vibration control of buildings and their equipment, primarilly against earthquakes. Base isolation has received much attention in the recent twenty years and many buildings have been protected using this technology.

Crystal structure of NiFe(CO)5[tris(pyridyl-meth-yl)aza-phosphatrane]: a synthetic mimic of the NiFe hydrogenase active site incorporating a pendant pyridine base. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The reaction of Ni(TPAP)(COD) {where TPAP = [(NC5H4)CH2]3P(NC2H4)3N} with Fe(CO)5 resulted in the isolation of the title heterobimetallic NiFe(TPAP)(CO)5 complex di-μ-carbonyl-tricarbon-yl[2,8,9-tris-(pyridin-2-yl-meth-yl)-2,5,8,9-tetra-aza-1-phosphabi ...
