Pounding Dynamic Responses of Sliding Base-Isolated Rectangular Liquid-Storage Structure considering Soil-Structure Interactions

Shock and Vibration, 2017
The soil-structure interaction (SSI) is simulated by an artificial boundary, the pounding that occurs between the sliding base-isolated rectangular liquid-storage structure (LSS) and the surrounding moat wall is considered, the instantaneous pounding is ...

Earthquake-Induced Pounding of Medium-to-High-Rise Base-Isolated Buildings

Applied Sciences, 2019
During earthquakes, out-of-phase vibrations in adjacent buildings with limited distance may cause pounding between them. In recent years, the use of seismic isolation has expanded considerably as an effective approach to reduce seismic damage.

Harnessing plant‐based platform for low‐cost cellulosic sugar recovery from bioenergy crops

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The price of pure cellulase enzyme for the recovery of fermentable cellulosic sugars is one of the major challenges that limit the commercialization of second‐generation biofuels and bio‐based products. This work shows a means to greatly reduce the cost of cellulases. The abundant capacity of plants to synthesize and hyperaccumulate transgenic

Food Waste Applications Beyond the West: Archetypes and Insights From China

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food waste is a major challenge for sustainable development, but digital solutions designed to reduce it remain unevenly distributed globally. Food waste mobile applications (FWMAs) have emerged as promising tools for reducing food surpluses through redistribution and improved household food management.

Effective Gap Size Index for Determination of Optimum Separation Distance Preventing Pounding between Buildings during Earthquakes

Applied Sciences, 2021
Seismic excitations may lead to collisions between adjacent civil engineering structures, causing major damage. In this paper, an effective equation for calculating the gap size index is proposed so as to provide the optimum separation distance ...

Microtubule Destabilizing Kinesins: A Historical Perspective and Thoughts for the Future

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The microtubule cytoskeleton plays critical roles in multiple cellular processes such as mitotic spindle assembly and chromosome segregation. Cells contain a number of microtubule‐associated proteins that regulate microtubule dynamics both temporally and spatially in cells. The microtubule depolymerizing kinesins include members of the Kinesin‐

Study on Methods to Control Interstory Deflections

Geosciences, 2020
One of the possibilities to prevent building pounding between two adjacent structures is to consider appropriate in-between separation distance. Another approach might be focused on controlling the relative displacements during seismic excitations ...

From Custom to Court: The Evolution of Mediation in European Legal Systems

Conflict Resolution Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article traces how European mediation has repeatedly rebalanced three variables—(1) the source of mediator authority, (2) the degree of institutionalization, and (3) the operative meaning of voluntariness—from antiquity to the present. Using three periods—Proto‐Mediation (c. 500 BCE–c. 1750), Classical Mediation (c.
