Vibration Characteristics of Underground Structure and Surrounding Soil Underneath High Speed Railway Based on Field Vibration Tests by Biao Zhou, Fengshou Zhang, Xiongyao Xie

“…The existence of damping and coupling effect of the surrounding soil, as well as the interference of axle spectrum from excitation sources, makes it very challenging to separate the frequency response characteristics of structures from soil at FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) spectrum. The combined NExT (Natural Excitation Technique) and HHT (Hilbert–Huang Transform) method are thus used to study the waveforms and propagation velocities of vibration waves in underground structure and surrounding soil. …”

STUDI PERBANDINGAN PEMAKAIAN PRIMER HBS1 DAN HBS2 DENGAN PRIMER P7 DAN P8 DALAM DETEKSI DNA VIRUS HEPATITIS B PADA PENDONOR DARAH by Supiana Dian Nurtjahyani, Mohammad Amin, Retno Handajan

“…Examination of the hepatitis B virus as a disease of hepatitis serologically has been carried out a lot, but this serological examination can experience problems if there is a low window period, so even though a negative test result is still possible in a patient's body infected with the hepatitis B virus, a fast and accurate examination is needed. PCR examination is an alternative solution to overcome this problem because the results are more accurate and valid because it can directly detect hepatitis B virus DNA as the cause of hepatitis B infection. …”
