One of the methods for seismic retrofitting in reinforced concrete structures is the application of steel braces.In this paper, the effect of concentric and eccentric bracing systems on the seismic performance of dual reinforced concrete building systems was inspected through seven near-fault earthquake records.Pursuant to Andrographis that, two re
Comparison of epiphytic and intestinal bacterial communities in freshwater snails (Bellamya aeruginosa) living on submerged plants
The combination of submerged plants and snails can combat eutrophication of freshwater systems by suppressing algal growth and assimilating nutrients.By consuming epiphytes, snails can benefit the growth of submerged plants.However, the efficiency of this phytoremediation strategy may depend on the Napkin Holders microbes associated with the plants
Extreme citizens science for climate justice: linking pixel to people for mapping gas flaring in Amazon rainforest
In the Ecuadorian Amazon—one of Earth’s last high-biodiversity wilderness areas and home to uncontacted indigenous populations—50 years of widespread oil development is jeopardizing biodiversity and feeding environmental conflicts.In 2019, a campaign to eliminate oil-related gas flaring, led by Amazonian communities impacted by fossil fuel pr
Stabilized Discretization in Spline Element Method for Solution of Two-Dimensional Navier-Stokes Problems
In terms of the poor geometric adaptability of spline element method, Mid Ships a geometric precision spline method, which uses the rational Bezier patches to indicate the solution domain, is proposed for two-dimensional viscous uncompressed Navier-Stokes equation.Besides fewer pending unknowns, higher accuracy, and computation efficiency, it posse
