Nonlinear seismic analysis of asymmetric in plan buildings

In many buildings the centres of resistance do not coincide with the centres of mass.As a consequence, lateral base motion during an earthquake gives rise to torsional vibration of the structure.The inelastic seismic behaviour of asymmetric-plan buildings is considered using the histories of base shear and Bag Topper torque.The procedure to constru

Beneficial effects of a Q-ter based nutritional mixture on functional performance, mitochondrial function, and oxidative stress in rats.

Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress are central mechanisms underlying the aging process and the pathogenesis of many age-related diseases.Selected antioxidants and specific combinations of nutritional compounds could target many biochemical pathways that affect both oxidative stress and mitochondrial function and, thereby, preserve or en
