The aim of this paper is to present results of testing a full scale reinforced concrete T connection by static loading. The connection represents a beam-column connection. The beam and column had a square cross section with a 300 mm dimension. The height of the column was 2.9 m and the clear beam length was 1.4 m. The connection was initially tested to failure. Galvanised steel straps were used...

Liquid chromatography in open tubular columns (OTLC) offers a means of achieving separations of high resolving power within analysis times of minutes to hours. A theory which predicts the optimal dimensions for an open tubular column for a given set of analytical conditions has been developed [1]. This theory predicts that for a wide range of possible inlet pressures and analysis times the most...

Determining the CO2 column abundance from an integrated path differential absorption (IPDA) lidar requires accurate knowledge of the range to the scattering surface, i.e., the column height. We have adapted and tested a ranging algorithm for the airborne IPDA CO2 lidar designed at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, and have evaluated its accuracy and precision. We applied a quasi-maximum-lik...

By means of a thermal diffusion column the range of the radiocarbon dating method can be extended by about 20 000 years. In order to calculate suitable dimensions and operation conditions, a theory of nonlinear enrichment is derived. On the basis of a formula which describes the dependence of the enrichment factor on time and the characteristic values of the column, a concentric column of 11m l...

Position specific score matrices (PSSMs) are derived from multiple sequence alignments to aid in the recognition of distant protein sequence relationships. The PSI-BLAST protein database search program derives the column scores of its PSSMs with the aid of pseudocounts, added to the observed amino acid counts in a multiple alignment column. In the absence of theory, the number of pseudocounts u...

Chiral seperation also called chiral resolution,is a procedure used to seperate the two isomers of a racemic compound. Many Chiral stationary phases(CSP’S) have been manufactured for the seperation of enantiomers.Among them Chiral-AGP is the protein based chiral column . α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) is a very stable protein, which tolerates pure organic solvents,high temperatures and high and low...
