The presence of underground voids within a failure zone usually results in reduction the bearing capacity footings. This paper presents for ultimate ratio, qu/γB, strip footing on top sand layer overlying clay with voids, and without placing geotextile reinforcement at interface between layers. Using finite difference software FLAC 2D, ratio was calculated different depths horizontal distance t...

The replication region fragments from Flac(+) cloned in plasmids pSC138 and pML31 are identical with each other and with EcoRI fragment 5 of plasmid F.

Silicibacter sp. strain TM1040, a member of the Roseobacter clade, forms a symbiosis with unicellular phytoplankton, which is inextricably linked to the biphasic "swim or stick" lifestyle of the bacteria. Mutations in flaC bias the population toward the motile phase. Renewed examination of the FlaC(-) strain (HG1016) uncovered that it is composed of two different cells: a pigmented type, PS01, ...

Shallow foundations in granular soils are designed such that the settlements are within tolerable limits. Schmertmann’s (1970) method is one of the most rational methods for computing settlements of footings in granular soils, and is commonly used world-wide. The method relies on a strain influence factor that varies with depth. Schmertmann et al. (1978) proposed separate strain influence facto...

Flagella-driven motility enables bacteria to reach their favorable niche within the host. The human foodborne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni produces two heavily glycosylated structural flagellins (FlaA and FlaB) that form the flagellar filament. It also encodes the non-structural FlaC flagellin which is secreted through the flagellum and has been implicated in host cell invasion. The mechanisms...

Soft soils are widespread in many areas of the East-West highway Algeria, covering large areas. Construction projects such as embankments, airfields, roads, and railways experience several problems due to their low strength permeability. This study used a fully dynamic analysis evaluate response embankment. The numerical was carried out using FLAC 2D version 8.10 software. main objective effect...

Cumulative thrombocytopenia is a dose-limiting toxicity of dose-intensive chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer. In this phase I study, we have studied the hematologic toxicity associated with sequential interleukin-3 (IL-3) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF; molgramostim) administration after multiple cycles of FLAC (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, doxorubicin, cycloph...

Audio compression is used everywhere – largely due to the rise of the internet, computers, and embedded systems. Since original, uncompressed digital recordings are very large in size, efficient ways are needed to compress large audio signals into small, high-quality, convenient formats. While lossy audio formats, like MP3, are widely popular in many everyday applications, lossless formats are ...
