We report a novel strategy to achieve simultaneous one-step in-situ self-desalting and enrichment (OISE) of peptides/proteins on a facilely fabricated patterned MALDI steel plate with a circular paraffin-steel-polystyrene structure. The OISE plate could efficiently segregate salts from both analytes and matrices while retaining both analyte and matrix concentrate, and facilitating them to form ...

Steel–concrete composite shear wall offers a favourable lateral strength and deformation ductility for seismic applications while significantly shortening the project schedule through eliminating use of formworks taking advantage modular construction methodology. This paper presents fibre-based modelling technique simulation cyclic nonlinear response walls by existing reinforced concrete steel ...

Coupling shear wall has been highly considered in recent years. Due to architectural limitations, sometimes the architect is forced to use two spans separate from shear wall. The study results have shown that using coupling shear wall will have better results than single wall in structure behavior and the desired performance can be achieved by using thinner plates. Coupling steel shear wall has...

The coupled steel plate and reinforced concrete (C-SPRC) composite wall is a new type of coupled-wall system consisting coupling beams (SCBs) that join two SPRC walls where the shear (SPSW) embedded in RC wall. Although C-SPRC has been extensively constructed high-rise buildings seismic regions, research on its behavior rarely reported. No code provisions are available for directly guiding prel...

In this study, the progressive collapse potential of seismically designed steel plate shear wall (SPSW) systems is investigated using the alternate path method, and their performances are compared with those of the conventional special moment frame (SMF) systems. Nonlinear static and dynamic analyses are conducted to follow the progressive collapse of the structures, and their ability of absorb...

Heart myocardia are critical to the facilitation of heart pumping and blood circulating around body. The biaxial mechanical testing left ventricle (LV) has been extensively utilised build computational model whole with little importance given unique properties right (RV) cardiac septum (SPW). Most those studies focussed on LV then applied obtained characteristics a few modifications side heart....

considering recent developments in earthquake engineering, researchers has detected different effects of earthquakes far and near from the fault. investigations that have been done in this area show that near fault earthquakes have shorter time period comparing far fault earthquakes and in the velocity of near fault earthquakes, there are one or more impacting pulses with a big domain and perio...
