Structural restoration of a historic palace in Italy by Paolo Foraboschi

“…One of the key novelties of this study is the introduction of a method for designing and structurally analyzing a rehabilitation work aimed at enhancing the load-bearing capacity of masonry columns and piers under gravitational loads. The discussion also emphasizes the often-overlooked limitations of material testing in accurately assessing masonry strength and delves into the critical impact of material and geometric nonlinearities on maximum stress levels – issues that remain underexplored in the existing literature.…”

Seismic Test and Simulation of Spring Vibration Isolated Foundation for Turbo-Generator by Dong An, Tianwang Liu

“…The spring vibration isolation device can reduce the acceleration response of the TG (turbo-generator) deck and redistribute the horizontal earthquake action of the foundation according to the stiffness to give full play to the seismic capacity of the columns. The errors of natural vibration frequencies and maximum seismic response are approximately 15% and 10%, respectively, and the simulation results are in good agreement with the test and experiment data. …”

Experimental Study on the Seismic Behavior of a Steel-Concrete Hybrid Structure with Buckling Restrained Braces by Liang Li, Guoqiang Li, Tianhua Zhou

“…The results show that (1) the energy dissipation capacity of the BRBs is very good, and none of the BRBs buckle during the shaking table tests; (2) the steel beams and columns are basically in an elastic state; (3) all the cracks on the concrete wall are microcracks, which are widely distributed in floors 1–8 of the concrete walls; (4) the maximum interstory drift angle reaches 1/40, which indicates that the ductility of the steel-concrete hybrid structure is very good. …”

VERDI AND WAGNER IN EARLY VICTORIAN LONDON: THE VIEWPOINT OF “THE MUSICAL WORLD” by Massimo ZICARI

“…Notwithstanding this disparity, a first glance at the reviews that appeared in The Times, The Musical World, The Athenaeum, The Sunday Times and The Spectator, and that were then reproduced in the columns of The Musical World, shows the extent to which, between 1845 and 1855, both composers became object of severe critical scrutiny. …”

Bearing Capacities of Different-Diameter Concrete-Filled Steel Tubes under Axial Compression by Wenjing Wang, Zhenyun Tang, Zhenbao Li, Hua Ma

“…This study therefore investigates the effect of different diameters (219, 426, 630, and 820 mm) on the axial compression of short concrete columns in steel (Q235) tubes. It is found that the peak nominal stress decreases with increasing specimen size and that the axial bearing capacity is determined by three separate components: the cylinder compressive strength of the concrete, the improvement in strength due to the confining effect of the steel tube, and the longitudinal strength of the steel tube. …”

Frugal method for extracting DNA from saliva suitable for low-budget labs and usable in PCR assays by Kamar Shayah, Joseph Shenekji, Lana Karnoub, Sana Wohbeh, Hagar Hamsho

“…The suggested frugal method relies on providing a new solution for extracting DNA from human saliva without the need for enzymes or high grade reagents or columns, which makes suitable for low budget laboratories in developing countries to manufacture it locally, it uses a phase separation with technical skills to extract the DNA from the saliva achieving safety by not using hazardous reagents, and it is a sustainable eco-friendly method that gives decent yield of good quality DNA in ~20 minutes to be used in PCR applications with a cost that is estimated to be 10 times cheaper than current used methods.…”
