building pounding occurs between two adjacent buildings with small gap or without sufficient separation distance. it leads to damage buildings during earthquake due to impact. many researchers have investigated building pounding based on impact force reduction and energy dissipation increase, when two buildings collide with each other. in numerical investigations, using specific link element, i...

sir, the big flooding in thailand in 2011 is one of the problematic flooding in asia. it causes several destroying to many things in the disaster areas. an important concern is on the effect on the setting with the radioactive elements usage. in thailand, there are some places with radioactive elements including to the university, hospital as well as radioactive research center. luckily, during...

A new insertion sequence (IS) element, IS679 (2,704 bp in length), has been identified in plasmid pB171 of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli B171. IS679 has imperfect 25-bp terminal inverted repeats (IRs) and three open reading frames (ORFs) (here called tnpA, tnpB, and tnpC). A plasmid carrying a composite transposon (Tn679) with the kanamycin resistance gene flanked by an intact IS679 sequenc...

Abstract This article is a response to Timo Kivimaki’s important about peace in East Asia. The focuses on Northeast Asia’s structural configurations (i.e., economic interdependence and deterrence systems) contributing essentially argues when it comes down Asia, two subregions of namely Asia Southeast must be analyzed recognize different subregions’ orders affecting as whole.
