Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSeismic Fragility Assessment of RC Frame Equipped by Visco-Elastic Dampers Using NLTHA and FNAAli A. Rostam Alilou, Majid PouraminianIn recent years, the issue of lower computational cost and analysis time has been the important factors for the structural analysts. In the meantime, after years of its introduction as an analysis having features of nonlinear analysis, the Fast Nonlinear Analysis (FNA) claims to have a higher performance speed than other nonlinear analyses, but has been less used by the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2019 · 8,413 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordHazards from Pyroclastic Density Currents at Mount Bamenda (West-Cameroon, Cameroon Volcanic Line): Mapping and Assessment by AMS MethodMerlin Gountié Dedzo, Pierre Kamgang, Emmanuel Njonfang, Ghislain Zangmo TefogoumHazards related to pyroclastic density current continue to raise victims on many volcanoes in our planet. The Cameroon is not spared to this type of hazard because deposits of pyroclastic flows and surges are found on Mount Bamenda; products of this volcano are relatively young (27-0 Ma). Besides Mount Bamenda, Mounts Bambouto and Oku are the only volcanoes located in … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 15 Oct 2015 · 7,871 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAssessment of Genotoxic Activity of Para-nitrophenol in Higher Plant Using Arbitrarily Primed- polymerase Chain Reaction (AP-PCR)Mohamed R. EnanParanitrophenol is a common toxic environmental pollutant; the aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of the DNA fingerprinting by AP-PCR assay to detect the DNA damage in the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) exposed to different concentrations of paranitrophenol (4.0-720 nM). The changes occurring in the fingerprint patterns were likely to be the result of paranitrophenol-induced DNA damage. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,064 accessesView PDF Cite
