because thin plate reinforced concrete members such as walls and slabs are greatly influenced by the drying shrinkage, cracks can occur in these members due to the restraint of the volume change caused by drying shrinkage. therefore, the control of cracking due to drying shrinkage is very important in building construction that the thin plate members are frequently used. however, few researches...

Electrical networks are defined and a definition of when a bond graph and an electrical network are equivalent is given. Bond graphs and electrical networks are defined to be primitive if they contain no transformers or gyrators. A bond graph is defined to be realisable if it is equivalent to an electrical network and primitively realisable if it is equivalent to a primitive electrical network....

The anti-oxidant activities for a diverse set of flavonoids as TEAC (Trolox equivalent anti-oxidant capacity), assay were subjected to 3D-QSAR (3 dimensional quantitative structural-activity relationship) studies using CoMFA (comparative molecular field analysis) and CoMSIA (comparative molecular similarity indices analysis). The obtained results indicated superiority of CoMSIA model over CoMFA...

Bromoacetazolamide effects rather quickly a partial, and more slowly an almost complete, irreversible inactivation of bovine carbonic anhydrase B (EC 4.2.1.1). Under identical conditions, the enzyme is not inactivated by bromoacetic acid or iodoacetamide, nor does it react significantly with these compounds. The zinc-free enzyme does not undergo irreversible binding with W-bromoacetazolamide an...
