Asthma is the commonest respiratory disease and one of unceasingly increasing prevalence
and burden. As such, asthma has attracted a major share or scientific interest and clinical …

Growing evidence suggests that respiratory and limb muscle function may be impaired in
patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). Importantly, muscle dysfunction could promote …

Aging is a multifactorial process likely stemming from damage accumulation and/or a decline
in maintenance and repair mechanisms in the organisms that eventually determine their …

… next to the flange wall was M f E = 6.2 kN · m / m , whereas the moment capacity on the
yield lines next to the web wall was M f W = 10.2 kN · m / m . The axial forces that developed in …

… The lateral force resisting system in the short (transversal) direction of the building consists
primarily of 3.6-m-long reinforced concrete load-bearing walls. The building was designed …

… The walls had a ratio M/VLw that varied between 0.45 and 2.9, where M is the bending …
of the computed and measured strain histories can be found in Panagiotou and Restrepo.…

Aims The aim of this study was to examine the direct and indirect effect, through
organizational identification, of workplace ostracism on nurses' silence towards patient safety. …

This paper explores the notion of detailing reinforced concrete structural walls to develop base
and mid‐height plastic hinges to better control the seismic response of tall cantilever wall …

This paper presents the results of a series of shake table tests of two 460-mm-diameter columns
supported on 1.5-meter-square shallow rocking foundations. The tests were conducted …

… The shear span ratio was M / V L w = 3 , where M is the bending moment at the base of
the wall, V the base shear force, and L w the length of the wall in the direction of loading. The …
