Changes in the spatial distributions of vegetation across the globe are routinely monitored by satellite remote sensing, in which the reflectance spectra over land surface areas are measured with spatial and temporal resolutions that depend on the satellite instrumentation.The use of multiple synchronized satellite sensors permits long-term monitor
Seismic Behavior of Resilient Reinforced Concrete Columns with Ultra-High-Strength Rebars Under Strong Earthquake-Induced Multiple Reversed Cyclic Loading
The frequent occurrence of major earthquakes highlights the structural challenges posed by long-period ground motions (LPGMs).This study investigates the seismic performance and resilience of five reinforced concrete (RC) columns with different high-strength steel bars under LPGM-induced Wine / Sake Cups cyclic loading, both experimentally and nume
Arthropathy and proteinuria: nail-patella syndrome revisited
[english] Nail-patella syndrome (NPS) is a pleiotropic autosomal-dominant disorder due to mutations in the gene LMX1B.It has traditionally been characterized by a Headboard Bracket tetrad of dermatologic and musculoskeletal abnormalities.However, one of the most serious manifestations of NPS is kidney disease, which may be present in up to 40% of a
