Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of Seismic Active Earth Pressure Using Curved Failure Surface with Localized StrainHemanta HazarikaProblem statement: Correct evaluation of the earth pressure against retaining structure during earthquake is essential for the safe and economic design of geotechnical structures. Progressive deformation in the backfill and the assumed shape of failure wedge affect the calculated values of seismic earth pressures. However, no research until now is available that considers both of these two factors in an … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,547 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAge-Dependent Variation of Telomere Length and DNA Damage in ChickenMaxim S. Makarenko, Alexander V. Usatov, Lyubov V. Getmantseva et al.Birds are unique models for molecular studies on aging processes and cellular senescence because of their slow rates of aging and comparatively long life spans among homoeothermic animals. The study aimed to examine the relative telomere length and amount of nuclear, mitochondrial DNA lesions in hens of different ages and to find out the correlation between these biomarkers of aging. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 14 Dec 2017 · 7,505 accessesView PDFCite
