Geosynthetics have proved to be suitable for reinforced soil retaining walls. Based on the increasing uses of geosynthetic reinforced soil systems in the regions, which bear frequent earthquakes, the study of dynamic behavior of structures seems necessary. Determining the reinforcement forces is; therefore, one of the most important and main points of discussions in designing retaining walls, b...

This article presents the analysis of experimental values regarding cracking pattern, specific strains and deformability for reinforced high strength concrete beams. The beams have the concrete class C80/95 and a longitudinal reinforcement ratio of 2.01%, respectively 3.39%. The elements were subjected to flexure under static short-term and long-term loading. The experimental values are compare...

Reply to HU et al.: On the interpretation of gasdermin-B expression quantitative trait loci data.

We recently published structural and biochemical studies of gasdermin-B (GSDMB) (1), a protein that regulates the maintenance of the epithelial cell barrier as well as cell proliferation and differentiation processes (2, 3). GSDMB amplification and GSDMB overexpression lead to a poor response to HER2-targeted therapy in HER2-positive breast cancer (4). We showed that GSDMB binds to sulfatide an...

This paper presents part of a research into the small scale modelling of masonry. Small scale testing of masonry has been carried out by many authors, but few have attempted a systematic determination of the parameters that affect masonry at a small scale. The effect of increasing mortar strength and different sand gradings under compression were investigated. The results show masonry strength ...
