Direct displacement-based design is a nonlinear static procedure and has to check the suitability of method against different types ground motions namely far field, near field forward directivity fling step. The applied for buildings supported on fixed base hysteretic isolation bearings. Seismic isolators are provided between foundation superstructure minimize influence motion superstructure. f...

A novel method for the future development of label-free DNA sensors is proposed here. The approach is based on the displacement of a labelled suboptimum mutated oligonucleotide hybridised with the immobilised biotin-capture probe. The target fully complementary to the biotin-capture probe can displace the labelled oligonucleotide causing a subsequent decrease of the signal that verifies the pre...

Patellar fractures account for approximately 1% of all skeletal fractures and may result from direct, indirect, or combined trauma. Because of the importance of patellar integrity for knee extension and the risk of associated injury to the extensor mechanism, accurate reporting and description of fracture type is paramount for appropriate management. This pictorial essay aims to review the norm...
