Evaluation of site amplification factors for shallow rock sites of Islamabad, Pakistan.

Kuwait Journal of Science, 2021
Current seismic provisions in Building Code of Pakistan (BCP-2007), seismic site classifications, and corresponding site amplification factors were determined similar to Uniform Building Code (UBC-1997), which were based on the local site conditions of Western United States with low impedance contrast, deep sites, and high seismicity conditions.

Centrifuge Model Tests of the Effect of the Ground Motion Coherence Function on the Amplification of a Saturated Soil–Water Site

Geofluids, 2021
Two sets of dynamic centrifugal model tests were designed and implemented in this study: the overlying waterless surface and the water-covered surface. Based on the use of the El Centro waves with different intensities as the base input, the seismic time

Determinants of selectivity in Xer site-specific recombination [PDF]

, 1996
A remarkable property of some DNA-binding proteins that can interact with and pair distant DNA segments is that they mediate their biological function only when their binding sites are arranged in a specific configuration. Xer site-specific recombination

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Site amplification model for use in ground motion prediction equations [PDF]

, 2013
textThe characteristics of earthquake shaking are affected by the local site conditions. The effects of the local soil conditions are often quantified via an amplification factor (AF), which is defined as the ratio of the ground motion at the soil ...
