Herbivores possess many counteradaptations to plant defenses, and a growing body of research describes the role of symbiotic gut bacteria in mediating herbivorous diets among insects. However, persistent bacterial symbioses have not been found in Lepidoptera, despite the fact that perhaps 99% of the species in this order are herbivorous. We surveyed bacterial communities in the guts of larvae f...

Insufficient separation distance between adjacent buildings may lead to their pounding during strong earthquakes causing damage or local failure. Accordingly, most of the design codes specify a minimum gap prevent seismic pounding. Main objectives this research are studying reinforced concrete (RC) under various ground motions and effect on The studied modeled as three-dimensional frames ideali...

It?s hard to definitively determine what caused your heart to pound, but there are multiple possibilities. It might be that you experienced it as a common side effect of marijuana use. It?s also possible that your experience was due to feeling anxious, which could have been induced or exacerbated by marijuana use. Another reason for this is that your marijuana was laced with another substance w...

The collision between adjacent buildings with an insufficient seismic separation distance has been reported after earthquakes. This buildings, commonly referred to as earthquake-induced pounding, entails huge damages the involved buildings. main cause of damage was interpreted developed impact forces colliding intensity force relies on many factors, therefore, a significant research effort foun...

A community-based survey was conducted during 1995-1997 of factors related to menopausal and other symptoms in a multi-racial/ethnic sample of 16,065 women aged 40-55 years. Each of seven sites comprising the Study of Women's Health across the Nation (SWAN) surveyed one of four minority populations and a Caucasian population. The largest adjusted prevalence odds ratios for all symptoms, particu...
