ASSESSING SEISMIC COLLAPSE SAFETY AND RETROFITTING LOW-DUCTILITY RC FRAME STRUCTURES ON THE BASIS OF THE ACCEPTABLE COLLAPSE SAFETY MARGIN IN CHINA

Assessing Seismic Collapse Safety and Retrofitting Low-Ductility RC Frame Structures on the Basis of the Acceptable Collapse Safety Margin in China

The relationship between the average annual collapse probability and collapse safety margin of structures is identified to evaluate structural collapse performance quantitatively.A method is then proposed to determine the acceptable class collapse margin ratio (CMR) with a certain annual collapse probability.Two methods, namely adopting steel brace

Comparative transcriptional profiling of Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis in response to salicylic acid- and methyl jasmonate-mediated heat resistance.

Culturing the economically important macroalga Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis (Rhodophyta) is limited due to the high temperatures in the summertime on the southern Chinese coast.Previous studies have demonstrated that two phytohormones, salicylic acid (SA) and methyl jasmonate (MJ), can alleviate the adverse effects of high-temperature stress on Gp.

The Intrinsically Disordered C-Terminal Domain Triggers Nucleolar Localization and Function Switch of PARN in Response to DNA Damage

Poly(A)-specific ribonuclease (PARN), a multifunctional multi-domain deadenylase, is crucial to the regulation of mRNA turnover and the maturation of various non-coding RNAs.Despite extensive studies of the well-folding domains responsible for PARN catalysis, the structure and function of the C-terminal domain (CTD) remains elusive.PARN is a cytopl
