The cyclic loading performance of bamboo double-jointed components different column base connection types was investigated through reversed tests and finite element analysis. Test results indicated that the connections played an important role in failure modes engineered columns: for encased steel plate connection, main mode tensile fracture scrimber section at bottom cladding plate; a slotted-...

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on behavior cold- formed steel shear wall panel (CFSSWP) with fibrocement panels as sheathing, when it is subjected in-plane deformations and flexural deformation under perpendicular monotonically increasing horizontal loads longest plane. A full-scale housing section was built three walls a ceiling using commonly used construction detail...

A 20-day-old male infant who was born at 39 weeks of gestation was admitted to neonatal intensive care unit due to severe respiratory insufficiency. In retinal examination, peripheric retinal white-black color areas that correspond to necrotizing retinitis, moderate vitritis, macular and optic nerve head involvement, vascular leakage, and sheathing indicating perivasculitis were revealed. Despi...

PURPOSE To describe a case of unilateral frosted branch angiitis in a patient with abdominal tuberculosis. METHODS Observational case report. RESULTS A 17-year-old girl with chronic abdominal pain, cough, and amenorrhea for 5 months presented with complaints of sudden diminution of vision in both eyes for 1 day. Fundus examination of the right eye showed disk edema, dilated tortuous vessels...

A calcium protease which degrades neurofilaments was first observed in the fan worm Myxicola infundibulum and in the squid Loligo forbesi [l] and subsequently in a mammalian system [2,3]. Many of the polypeptides in Myxicola axoplasm are degradation products of the 160 000 and 150 000 M, polypeptides as has been shown by careful peptide mapping. Moreover, there is a high probability that they r...
