Considerations on reduction of indoor air pollution from radioactive emissions from building materials and the ground [PDF]
, 2017 The goal of this paper is to study the reduction of health risks from indoor radioactive pollutants, as thoron emissions from common building materials, and radon emission from both building materials and the ground.

Engineering Structures, 2020 Abstract The present study investigates the effect of soil-structure interaction (SSI) on foundation motion recorded at accelerometric stations at the lowest storey of buildings. Towards this, four sites of instrumented buildings, having foundation and free-field ground motion recordings available, are studied in the frequency domain.

Evaluating the Effects of Deep Excavation on Nearby Structures Through Numerical Simulation
Applied SciencesTraditional numerical analyses often overlook the potential impact of adjacent building basements on ground surface deformation. This study investigated the influence of neighboring structures on diaphragm walls and ground surface deformation during deep

The issues of drainage of discussed mines in the Katowice conurbation, Poland
Environmental & Socio-economic Studies, 2013 The Katowice conurbation is situated in the Upper-Silesian Coal Basin, in a region which had high rate of water inflow in the pre-mining period. In order to make deposits of mineral resources accessible, it was, and still is, necessary provide mines with

The 1985 Chile earthquake: Structural characteristics and damage statistics for the building inventory in Vina del Mar [PDF]
, 1987 The Chile earthquake of 3 March 1985 resulted in an effective peak acceleration of 0.36g in the coastal city of Vina del Mar. The city had an inventory of over 400 reinforced concrete buildings ranging in height from 5 to 23 stories.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
