Buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBFs) are used as primary lateral load resisting systems forbuildings in high seismic areas.The main characteristics of buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) are enhancedenergy dissipation potential, excellent ductility and nearly symmetrical hysteretic response in tension andcompression.This read more paper presents
The polarization plane rotation generally occurs in structures having optical activity, Faraday effect or in liquid crystals.Recently, investigations aimed at creation of artificial environments (metamaterials) with similar properties have been actively carried out.The paper shows that the double screen system with circular holes can rotate polariz
Soil microorganisms historically have been a rich resource for natural product discovery, yet the majority of these microbes remain uncultivated and their biosynthetic capacity is left underexplored.To identify the biosynthetic potential of soil microorganisms using a culture-independent approach, we constructed a large-insert metagenomic library i
Background: The genetics domain is witnessing great advances in diagnosing and predicting genetic diseases.In a clinical setting, autosomal recessive genetic disorders are frequently observed as a result of the high rate of consanguinity.The advances in genomic technologies and methods in recent years have facilitated new tools for gene discovery i
