Analytical Simulation of 3D Wind-Induced Vibrations of Rectangular Tall Buildings in Time Domain by Iván F Huergo, Hugo Hernández-Barrios, Roberto Gómez-Martíne

“…The Krenk root-coherence function is used for the normalized cross-spectrum on the along-wind direction, whereas the Davenport root-coherence function is used for the other two types of wind loads. For both across-wind and torsional-wind loads, the Davenport root-coherence function was assessed at the vortex shedding frequency by changing the vertical decay constants until converge between the Davenport model and the Liang empirical coherence model was achieved. …”

Current understanding of antimicrobial resistance mechanisms in bacteria (analytical review) by O. V. Pruntova, V. S. Russaleyev, N. B. Shadrova

“…All three mechanisms are widespread in nature, although some bacterial species use one mechanism to a great extent than the other two. Transduction is supposed to play an important role, in particular, in the antibiotic resistance gene transfer, but the significance of transformation or transduction in the resistance gene transfer under the laboratory or environmental conditions has not been clarified so far due to the difficulty of naturally emerging recombination detection. …”
