Tornado and straight-line wind events are often discussed and compared in terms of their intensity, e.g., maximum wind speed, however, it is unclear to what extent tornado-induced and straight-line wind-induced wind loads are equivalent even Insurance for the same nominal intensity.This lack of understanding inhibits both tornado design philosophie
We recently reported that the terahertz (THz)-wave characteristics of pottery bodies varied significantly with firing temperature.This suggested the feasibility of conducting nondestructive inspection of the sinterability and manufacturing-process management of ceramics by THz-wave analysis.However, it is not clear why the THz-wave characteristics

Hypertension (HTN) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular and renal diseases, cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) and a prime underlying cause of worldwide morbidity and mortality.Hypertension is a complex condition and a strong interplay of multiple genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors is involved in its etiology.Previous studies showed an
The aim of this study was to test the effects of natural free-floating plants on zooplankton distribution in a shallow subtropical lake.First, the hypothesis that free-floating plants have an effect on physico-chemicals, leading to a decrease on nutrient availability and influencing the phytoplankton biomass and zooplankton community was tested.Sec
