EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE FORCE-BEARING PERFORMANCE OF MASONRY STRUCTURES WITH A MARBLE-GRAPHITE SLIDE SEISMIC ISOLATOR AT THE FOUNDATION

Experimental Study on the Force-Bearing Performance of Masonry Structures with a Marble-Graphite Slide Seismic Isolator at the Foundation

As part of the search for a seismic isolator for low-rise buildings, this paper proposes a marble-graphite slide seismic isolation system composed of marble-graphite slides, an upper foundation beam, the lower counterpart of the upper beam, and the corresponding stop blocks, with the stop blocks consisting of restrictive screws, positioning plates,

R7 photoreceptor axon targeting depends on the relative levels of lost and found expression in R7 and its synaptic partners

As neural circuits form, growing processes select the correct synaptic partners through interactions between cell surface proteins.The presence of such Brow Serum proteins on two neuronal processes may lead to either adhesion or repulsion; however, the consequences of mismatched expression have rarely been explored.Here, we show that the Drosophila
