MSC is announcing a new business offering based upon a breakthrough technology. MSC has developed a means by which design engineers or occasional CAE software users can reliably perform complex engineering analysis with the same resultant quality as do the dedicated analysis experts. This breakthrough technology captures the expert’s engineering knowledge and specific process solution methodolo...

We investigated chloroquine sensitivity to Plasmodium falciparum in travelers returning to France and Canada from Haiti during a 23-year period. Two of 19 isolates obtained after the 2010 earthquake showed mixed pfcrt 76K+T genotype and high 50% inhibitory concentration. Physicians treating malaria acquired in Haiti should be aware of possible chloroquine resistance.

The Great Hanshin Earthquake had affected seriously on many highway bridges in Hanshin area. From a lot of investigations about the failure mechanisms on the highway bridges during strong earthquake, it was found that the consideration as a highway bridge system which consists of many structural elements such as piles, footings, piers, bearings, restrainers, super structures, etc. is very impor...

One of the most important parameters used to determine dynamic properties soil layers is shear wave velocity. In geotechnical earthquake engineering, velocity modulus, which provides input for design earthquake-resistant structures. Although there are measurement methods in field studies velocity, they may not be economical some cases. this study, empirical correlations between and penetration ...
