Multicriteria decision-making method applied to optimized reinforced concrete, steel, and wood beams

open access: yesExacta, 2022
Optimization techniques have been increasingly used to obtain structures of lower cost or weight. However, the result obtained depends on the choice of materials. This can be based on factors such as cost, performance, and environmental impacts, as well

Assessment of existing structures under climate change

open access: yesActa Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022
Assessment of the influence of human activities on recent, current, and future global and regional climate conditions and extremes has advanced sufficiently to provide a reasonable measure of its impact across the globe. The lack of concurrent adaptation

Response Control of Structures Subjected to Multi-Hazards of Earthquake and Wind Using Base Isolators and Absorbers [PDF]

open access: yesComputational Engineering and Physical Modeling, 2022
Short structures when they are designed using base isolation, dynamic wind effects may be more, and it may govern the design. This issue is taken care to some extent using Lead plug bearings. This puts the limits on effective seismic performance only for

Exploration of Aberrant E3 Ligases Implicated in Alzheimer’s Disease and Development of Chemical Tools to Modulate Their Function

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021
The Ubiquitin Proteasome System (UPS) is responsible for the degradation of misfolded or aggregated proteins via a multistep ATP-dependent proteolytic mechanism. This process involves a cascade of ubiquitin (Ub) transfer steps from E1 to E2 to E3 ligase.

Haefliger structures and symplectic/contact structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
For some geometries including symplectic and contact structures on an n-dimensional manifold, we introduce a two-step approach to Gromov's h-principle.
