The dynamic response of seismic isolated continuous girder bridges subjected to either near-fault
or far-field ground motions is compared to the non-isolated ones. Near-fault …

There are three objectives in this paper. The first objective is to compare the dynamic behaviour
of a reinforced concrete building structure subjected to near‐fault and far‐field ground …

This paper summarizes the results of a study that is to evaluate the structural response
attributes of near‐fault ground motion. Ground motion recordings from the Chi‐Chi earthquake …

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress that disrupts ER function can occur in response to a wide
variety of cellular stress factors leads to the accumulation of unfolded and misfolded …

Structural health monitoring of concrete structures under seismic loads has always attracted
a lot of attention in the earthquake engineering community. In this paper, two tests of …

Stress-induced hyperglycemia (SIH) has been independently associated with an increased
risk of mortality in critically ill patients without diabetes. However, it is also necessary to …

Background It is well known that ventilation with high volume or pressure may damage
healthy lungs or worsen injured lungs. Melatonin has been reported to be effective in animal …

Acute hyperglycemia is a frequent finding in patients presenting to the emergency department
(ED) with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The prognostic role of hyperglycemia in …

Annexin A1 (AnxA1) is an endogenous protein that modulates anti-inflammatory processes,
and its therapeutic potential has been reported in a range of inflammatory diseases. The …

This paper presents results from an international research project devoted to evaluating the
seismic performance of a three‐storey steel frame structure equipped with a friction‐…
