Enhancing the Seismic Resilience of Masonry‐Infilled RC Structures Using Rubber Joints: Full‐Scale 3D Shaking Table Tests

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Masonry infills in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are highly vulnerable to seismic damage, often sustaining severe cracking even under moderate ground motion, which in turn leads to considerable economic losses and safety risks. To address this issue, this study experimentally evaluates the effectiveness of two innovative rubber‐based joints ...

Monoclonal Antibody O10 Defines a Conformationally Sensitive Cell-Surface Epitope of Proteolipid Protein (PLP): Evidence that PLP Misfolding Underlies Dysmyelination in Mutant Mice

, 1996
Mutations in the gene for proteolipid protein (PLP) have been associated with CNS dysmyelination and abnormal oligodendrocyte death in spontaneous mouse mutants and in Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease; however, the effect of mutations on PLP structure and ...

Strain‐Induced NbC Precipitation as a Governing Mechanism for Hot Deformation Resistance in CrNiMnMoB Ultrahigh‐Strength Steels

steel research international, EarlyView.
Strain‐induced NbC precipitation governs hot‐deformation resistance in CrNiMnMoB ultrahigh‐strength steel by suppressing dynamic recrystallization, increasing activation energy, and refining martensitic substructures. The precipitation response is controlled by temperature, supersaturation, and strain rate, with slow deformation promoting extensive NbC
