Hemiparasitic Castilleja presence is correlated with increased plant biodiversity across montane plant communities

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Root hemiparasites form haustoria in belowground roots of hosts to extract nutrients and water from the surrounding hosts. Through parasitic symbiosis, these plants disproportionately affect plant communities relative to their abundance by reducing host size, altering nutrient flow, and eventually increasing local biodiversity.

Behavior of composite rigid frame bridge under bi-directional seismic excitations

Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering (English ed. Online), 2014
Pushover analysis and time history analysis are conducted to explore the bi-directional seismic behavior of composite steel-concrete rigid frame bridge, which is composed of RC piers and steel-concrete composite girders.

Comparative Review of the Performance Based Design of Building Structures Using Static Non-Linear Analysis, Part A: Steel Braced Frames [PDF]

Journal of Rehabilitation in Civil Engineering, 2013
The objective of this review to be submitted in two independent parts, for steel frames and for RC frames, is to compare their structural performance with respect to the proposed N2-method, and so also of the consequent convenience of using pushover ...

Continuous Sewing Machine‐Like Suture Provides Higher Failure and Yield Load Compared to Traditional Techniques for Meniscal Root Repair in a Biomechanical Porcine Model

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To evaluate the biomechanical performance of the sewing machine‐like suture (SMS) technique against three established techniques (two cinch‐loop (TCL), modified Mason‐Allen (MMA), and double Mason‐Allen (DMA)) for transtibial pull‐out repair of posterior medial meniscal root tear (PMMRT) in a porcine model.

Nonlinear Static Analysis for Seismic Evaluation of Existing RC Hospital Building

Applied Sciences, 2023
Nonlinear Static Analysis otherwise known as pushover analysis will be used in this study to evaluate the seismic performance of an existing reinforced concrete (RC) hospital structure. This method aids in determining the structure’s ability to withstand

Heat Stress in Quail: Impacts on Health and Productivity, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts physiological homeostasis in quail, inducing oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and metabolic imbalance, which impair growth, reproduction, product quality, and welfare. Integrating nutritional, environmental, and genetic–epigenetic strategies enhances thermotolerance, sustains productivity, and supports climate‐smart quail ...

Seismic vulnerability of RC buildings in Polog valley [PDF]

Micro, Macro & Mezzo Geoinformation, 2015
A procedure for evaluation of seismic vulnerability of RC buildings has been proposed. Applying the nonlinear static “pushover” analysis, the parameters of nonlinear behavior of the selected set of reinforced concrete buildings have been defined.

Target acceleration in multimodal pushover method for R/C frames

Građevinar, 2013
The procedure of searching the target ground acceleration as a measure of the lowest seismic resistance is presented in the paper. This objective is achieved by the multimodal pushover analysis based on the envelope principle. The pushover method founded

A Century of Learning: The Story of ESA's Education Committee, 1918–2025

The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, EarlyView.
Abstract The Education Committee and its precursors have been highly influential within the Ecological Society of America. Here we document the Education Committee's history, from its origins in reviewing curricular materials through major contributions to ecological literacy, teaching innovation, diversity initiatives, and professional development ...
