SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF RESILIENT REINFORCED CONCRETE COLUMNS WITH ULTRA-HIGH-STRENGTH REBARS UNDER STRONG EARTHQUAKE-INDUCED MULTIPLE REVERSED CYCLIC LOADING

The frequent occurrence of major earthquakes highlights the structural challenges posed by long-period ground motions (LPGMs).This study investigates the seismic performance and resilience of five reinforced concrete (RC) columns with different high-strength steel bars under LPGM-induced cyclic loading, both experimentally and numerically.The resul

Anticoagulant-related nephropathy (ARN) is a rare, newly recognized cause of acute kidney injury and significant but underdiagnosed complication of anticoagulation therapy.ARN occurs in patients taking oral anticoagulant therapy most often warfarin or a novel oral anticoagulant (NOAC).It is a potentially devastating disorder with serious renal cons

Ph 2, 6-11 in a poetic way describes the paradoxical way hp 15-da0008ca of Jesus Christ.Being equal with God, He entered human history with no privileges and identified Himself with every human being.Of His own free will, He experienced complete insignificance.He subordinated himself to man.He survived extreme humiliation.God confirmed His way by r

Abstract Objective In this research, a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) was utilized to determine if a pressure-based sensor could detect bearing friction in a total hip bullfrog plush arthroplasty (THA) and detect the contact of specific areas during ROM checks.Results The pressure-based sensor shows capability to sense bearing friction.In more

BackgroundBetaine (trimethylglycine) lowers plasma homocysteine, a possible risk factor for cardiovascular disease.However, studies in renal patients and in obese individuals who are on a weight-loss diet suggest that betaine supplementation raises blood cholesterol; data in healthy individuals are lacking.Such an effect on cholesterol would counte
