Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRepairing and Strengthening of an Existing Reinforced Concrete Building: A North Cyprus PerspectiveHakan Yalciner, Amir A. HedayatProblem statement: Inadequate attention during design and construction of some of Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings in North Cyprus has raised questions about the performance level of these existing buildings under future earthquakes. Approach: Column jacketing, adding steel braces and new shear walls to an existing building are common strengthening methods used by practical engineers in North Cyprus to increase the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,787 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnderstanding Information System Failures from the Complexity PerspectiveIndranil MukherjeeProblem Statement: Failure of computer based information systems had been a source of major concern in the modern technological era. Information System (IS) researchers have spent a significant amount of their time and effort in understanding the recurring failure of Information Systems. Studies in this regard have ranged from being primarily technical in their approach to those having a much … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 10,621 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization and Geotechnical Properties of Penang Residual Soils with Emphasis on LandslidesFauziah Ahmad, Ahmad Shukri Yahaya, Mohd Ahmadullah FarooqiThe predominantly hilly terrain of Penang Island combined with average maximum daily temperatures ranging between 27-35°C and peak rainfall as high as 647 cm makes the overall area potentially susceptible to landslips. Over the recent past construction industry has shown a rapid growth mainly due to increase in the inflow of international tourists and other economic reasons. Eventually, the magnitude … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 8,230 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUltrastructural and Immunological Characterization of Hepatitis C Core Protein-DNA Plasmid ComplexesNelson Acosta-Rivero, Yaraima Aguilera, Viviana Falcon et al.Recently, it has been shown that a truncated HCV core (HCcAg) variant, covering the first 120 aa (HCcAg.120), interacts with plasmid DNA vaccine (pIDKE2), encoding the HCV structural proteins (HCcAg, E1 and E2). In the present work, HCcAg.120-pIDKE2 complexes, forming heterogeneous packaged structures, were visualized using a negative stain/rotary shadow technique. Interestingly, 72 hours after intramuscular injection of HCcAg.120-pIDKE2 complexes … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,743 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Effect of Amount of Damage in Columns on Possible Occurrence of Collapsing in Flexural Frames under EarthquakeReza Salehi, Abbas Akbarpour Nikghalb RashtiConsidering the expansion of the field of study among the structural researchers regarding the structure behavior under different conditions, it would be a new research topic to assess structure behavior before earthquake, supposedly with preliminary deficiency or preliminary damage in elements. Man-made threats including gas cylinder explosion, intentional sabotage, or vehicle collision with the main elements of the building like … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 22 May 2018 · 8,052 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication and Mechanical Properties of Glass Fiber/Talc/CaCO3 Filled Recycled PP CompositesUğur Soy, Fehim Findik, Salih Hakan Yetgin et al.Until now, recycling studies brought to the agenda after the rapid increasing of plastic materials in every area and causing those plastics to environmental pollution after discarding them following the utilization. The purpose of recycling plastic waste is to minimize environmental pollution and to create of new resources. To perform the present study, Recycled Polypropylene Granules (RPP) belonging to Polypropylene … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 9 · 15 Aug 2017 · 9,364 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCognitive Mechanism of Metaphorization in Zoological TermsZifa Kakbaevna Temirgazina, Uldanai Maksutovna Bakhtikireeva, Vladimir Pavlovich Sinyachkin, Marzhan Kasymovna AkoshevaTerminology of any science, as a result of verbalized scientific expertise, is formed in conjunction with the ordinary consciousness of native speakers. Metaphor in a particular scientific zoological discourse in the Russian and Kazakh languages has not become the object of researchers' attention yet. The comparison of the results of the cognitive mechanism of analogy in the zoological discourse in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 12 · 13 Dec 2016 · 7,538 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructure Prediction and Binding Site Analysis of Hepatotoxic Microcystin-LR Degrading MlrC-Like Protein from Burkholderia sp. using Computational ApproachesDhananjaya P. Singh, Ratna Prabha, Vivek Keshri, P.C. AbhilashMicrocystin-LR (MCYST-LR) is a well characterized hepatotoxic heptapeptide produced by various species of cyanobacteria including Microcystis aeruginosa. Burkholderia is a genus of bacteria with cyanobacterial toxins degrading property. This study predicts the structure of microcystin degrading MlrC-like protein from Burkholderia sp. strain CCGE1002 that has microcystin degradation capability. Binding interaction of MlrC-like protein with MCYST-LR was studied. Three-dimensional model of … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 10 Jun 2016 · 8,069 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBinding Mechanism of Bovine Serum Albumin to Troxerutin by Synchronous Fluorescence Spectroscopy and ChemometricsTianhu Wang, Yi Yan, Yinsheng LuoPrevious works have reported the binding of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) to troxerutin by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. In order to extend the investigation of their binding characteristics, the study presented here was designed to evaluate their interaction by the synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy and Multivariate Curve Resolution With Alternating Least Squares (MCR-ALS) under simulative physiological conditions. The Evolving Factor Analysis … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 14 May 2016 · 7,449 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProbing the Substrate Specificity and Intersubunit Interactions of Brevundimonas Diminuta Glutaryl Acylase with Site-Directed MutagenesisMichael Eldarov, Anna Lyashenko, Tatyana Sherbakova et al.Glutaryl-7-ACA acylases (GLA) are industrial enzymes widely used for the production of 7-aminocepahlosporanic acid (7-ACA)-the starting compound for manufacturing of semisynthetic cephalosporin antibiotics. Generation of mutant GLA's with increased activity and stability, capability for single-step conversion of cephalosporin C (CPC) directly to 7-ACA is a promising route to improve the current biocatalytic technologies.
