Surface-Enhanced Nitrate Photolysis on Ice
(2015)
Heterogeneous nitrates photolysis is the trigger for many chemical processes occurring in the polar boundary layer and is widely believed to occur in a quasi-liquid layer (QLL) at the surface of ice. The dipole forbidden ...
There should not be any mystery: a comment on sampling issues in bibliometrics
(2016)
A research unit wants to assess whether its publications tend to be more cited than academic publications in general. This research unit could be anything from a lonesome researcher to a national research council sponsoring ...
Cyclic Di-GMP Riboswitch-Regulated Type IV Pili Contribute to Aggregation of Clostridium difficile
(2015)
Clostridium difficile is an anaerobic Gram-positive bacterium that causes intestinal infections with symptoms ranging from
mild diarrhea to fulminant colitis. Cyclic diguanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) is a bacterial ...
Replication and active partition of integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) of the SXT/R391 family : the line between ICEs and conjugative plasmids is getting thinner
(2015)
Integrative and Conjugative Elements (ICEs) of the SXT/R391 family disseminate multidrug resistance among pathogenic Gammaproteobacteria such as Vibrio cholerae. SXT/R391 ICEs are mobile genetic elements that reside in the ...
Time-domain numerical model of substation conductor span subjected to short-circuit loading
(2017)
Abstract: "Short-circuit faults in electrical power networks result in substantial electromagnetic forces on conductor cables as well as supporting structures. These dynamic forces often have a leading impact on the ...
Simplified design method for energy dissipating devices in retrofitting of seismically isolated bridges
Other titre : Building on our growth opportunities = Miser sur nos opportunités de croissance
(2015)
Abstract: This paper presents an innovative simplified method for the optimum design of seismically isolated bridges incorporating energy dissipating devices. For an isolated bridge subjected to an earthquake, the deformation ...
Review of advanced modelling methods for lattice steel towers
(2016)
Abstract : The analysis of transmission line steel lattice towers is usually performed with simplified linear numerical methods. However, the actual behaviour of bolted lattice towers is complex and may be affected by ...
Testing steel lattice towers with a hybrid (numerical/ experimental) method
(2016)
Abstract : The analysis of transmission line steel lattice towers is usually performed with linear numerical methods. However, the actual behaviour of bolted lattice towers is complex and may be highly affected by different ...
Comparative effects of adaptation on layer II-III and layer V-VI neurons in cat V1
(2016)
Abstract: V1 is fundamentally grouped into columns that descend from layers II–III to V–VI. Neurons inherent to visual cortex are capable of adapting to changes in the incoming stimuli that drive the cortical plasticity. ...
Experimental testing of a new hysteretic damper for base isolated bridges
Other titre : Resilient infrastructure = Infrastructures résilientes
(2016)
Abstract: An experimental procedure was developed to implement a simplified design method of supplemental dampers for isolated highway bridges. For seismically base-isolated bridges subjected to an earthquake, the principal ...
