AXIAL COMPRESSION TEST AND NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF CONCRETE-FILLED DOUBLE-SKIN ELLIPTICAL TUBULAR SHORT COLUMNS

Axial Compression Test and Numerical Investigation of Concrete-Filled Double-Skin Elliptical Tubular Short Columns

To probe into the performance of concrete-filled double-skin elliptical steel tubular (CFDEST) members, this paper designs and conducts an experiment Air Filter on CFDEST short columns imposed with axial pressure, and finite element (FE) models of the axially compressed CFDEST stub columns are established and verified by the test outcomes, taking t

Immunodiagnosis of bovine trypanosomiasis in Anambra and Imo states, Nigeria, using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay: zoonotic implications to human health

Background & objectives: The prevalence of trypanosomiasis was studied in cattle, being a Wash Motor Pulley major source of animal protein in Nigeria, thus, a very likely means of spread of Human African Trypano-somosis (HAT).Methods: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to diagnose bovine trypanosomiasis in 264 samples collected from

The membrane bound LRR lipoprotein Slr, and the cell wall-anchored M1 protein from Streptococcus pyogenes both interact with type I collagen.

Streptococcus pyogenes is an important human pathogen and surface structures allow it to adhere to, colonize and invade the human host.Proteins containing leucine rich repeats (LRR) have been identified in Storage Basket mammals, viruses, archaea and several bacterial species.The LRRs are often involved in protein-protein interaction, are typically

Self-fertility in Chromocrea spinulosa is a consequence of direct repeat-mediated loss of MAT1-2, subsequent imbalance of nuclei differing in mating type, and recognition between unlike nuclei in a common cytoplasm.

The filamentous fungus Chromocrea spinulosa (Trichoderma spinulosum) exhibits both self-fertile (homothallic) and self-sterile (heterothallic) sexual reproductive behavior.Self-fertile strains produce progeny cohorts that are 50% homothallic, 50% heterothallic.Heterothallic progeny can mate only with homothallic strains, and progeny also segregate
