in this study, a bearing capacity device is designed and fabricated to determine the load-settlement behavior of three circular footing models resting above the ground water table. capillary rise in the studied well graded sand is measured and the level of the water table is controlled at the desired heights during each bearing capacity test. moreover, shear strength parameters and soil water r...

Circular programming problems are a new class of convex optimization problems that include second-order cone programming problems as a special case. Alizadeh and Goldfarb [Math. Program. Ser. A 95 (2003) 3-51] introduced primal-dual path-following algorithms for solving second-order cone programming problems. In this paper, we generalize their work by using the machinery of Euclidean Jordan alg...

up to date, there are four pharmacologically characterized subtypes of muscarinic receptors (m1, m2, m3 and m4). in our study we have investigated muscarinic receptor subtypes in smooth muscle layers of human stomach. isolated preparations of longitudinal and circular muscle layers from human stomach were used. acetylcholine, bethanechol, carbachol, pilocarpine and ahr -602 produced concentrati...

Enantioenriched square-pyramidal oxo- and sulfidorhenium(v) complexes have been prepared and their stereochemistry studied by vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy.

recombinant proteins are tending to be the most favorable vaccine-candidates against botulism. recombinant carboxy-terminal of botulinum neurotoxin serotype e (rbont/e-hcc) has been introduced as an efficient vaccine against botulism type e. in this report, we made an effort to investigate the effect of different ph on protein structure to assess if rbont/e-hcc could be used as a vaccine for or...

This paper reviews the best known techniques using circular dichroism spectroscopy such as conventional circular dichroism (i.e. electronic circular dichroism), magnetic circular dichroisms (magnetic vibrational circular dichroism, x-ray magnetic circular dichroism), fluorescence detected circular dichroism, near-infrared circular dichroism, vibrational circular dichroism, Fourier transform inf...

Ce travail présente les résultats d’une méta-analyse de quatre études menées sur Amphibiens à Kasugho, Butembo, Mambasa et Kisangani en République Démocratique du Congo. L’objectif principal était vérifier le lien entre taux d’anthropisation des habitats la fréquence espèces observées afin d’identifier d’éventuelles indicatrices perturbations anthropiques. L’observation directe a généré 815 cap...
