The minimally invasive biomarkers that can facilitate a rapid dose assessment are valuable for the early medical treatment when accidental or occupational radiation exposure happens.Our previous proteomic research identified one kind of circulating protein, Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 3 (IGFBP-3), which showed a significant increase
It is very important to investigate the effects of the seismic performance of corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete (RC) members, in terms of their strength and lateral deformability, on the seismic performance of entire building systems.Such investigation allows accurate evaluation of the seismic performance of RC structures with corroded members,
Holometabolous insects display drastically different morphologies across life stages (i.e., larvae vs.adults).Morphological differences across life stages, such as different sizes and coloration, likely result in differential survival, as predators may find individuals of one life stage more conspicuous and/or more energetically profitable than ano
The Department of Archaeology at the University Handbags of Sheffield hosted the 2nd Experimental Archaeology Student Symposium (EAStS) between the 28th February and 1st March 2020, following on from the first successful meeting held in Newcastle in October 2018.The Symposium hosted nine papers on a variety of different experimental reconstructions
In explicit finite element simulations, Handbags a technique called deformable-to-rigid (D2R) switching is used routinely to reduce the computation time.Using the D2R option, the deformable parts in the model can be switched to rigid and reverted back to deformable when needed during the analysis.The time of activation of D2R however influences the
