Auguste Fabre was a French contractor specialized in the construction of masonry vaults. He founded his company 1896 and patented different systems light economic vaults, among them one for tile built thousands vaults France, Belgium Algeria, some great importance, such as dome Petit Palais international exhibition Paris 1900, or Congo Museum Tervuren (Belgium). Historicism breeding ground howe...

Changes in dynamic properties of structures indicate occurrence of damages in the structures. In this paper, a new two stage algorithm for damage detection of large structure is introduced. A modified Residual Force Method is utilized to locate the damage regions in structures, especially barrel vaults, and then the enhanced Charged System Search (CSS) Algorithm is used to quantify the amount o...

Vault particles are naturally occurring proteinaceous cages with promising application as molecular containers. The use of vaults as functional transporters requires a profound understanding of their structural stability to guarantee the protection and controlled payload delivery. Previous results performed with bulk techniques or at non-physiological conditions have suggested pH as a parameter...

Oxygen molecule modulates tumour response to radiotherapy. Higher radiation doses are required under hypoxic conditions to induce cell death. Hypoxia may inhibit the non-homologous end-joining DNA repair through down regulating Ku70/80 expression. Hypoxia induces drug resistance in clinical tumours, although the mechanism is not clearly elucidated. Vaults are ribonucleoprotein particles with a ...

This paper presents a parametric stability study of groin, or cross vaults, structural element widely used in old masonry construction, particularly Gothic architecture. The vaults’ is measured using the geometric safety factor (GSF), computed by evaluating structure’s minimum thickness through thrust network analysis (TNA). obtained formulating and solving specific constrained nonlinear optimi...

An increasing interest in the preservation of historic structures has produced a need for new methods for reinforcing curved masonry structures, such as arches and vaults. These structures are generally very ancient, have geometries and materials which are poorly defined and have been exposed to long-term historical movements and actions. Consequently, they are often in need of repair or reinfo...

arches and vaults are of the most important parts of traditional buildings of iranian architecture. in the traditional architecture of iran, before oil was discovered, fuel (such as wood) was one of the high-ranking issues. therefore, iranian traditional architects did their best to reduce the use of wood. there was however, a revival of the use of brick in construction. qomi-poosh technology i...

Rat liver coated vesicle preparations were frequently found to contain small ovoid bodies, which resembled coated vesicles in morphology. We have purified these bodies to homogeneity using sucrose density gradients and preparative agarose gel electrophoresis. When negatively stained and viewed by electron microscopy, the purified structures display a very distinct and complex morphology, resemb...
