This study is presented as a contribution to earthquake disaster mitigation studies for selected cities in Turkey.The risk evaluations must be based on earthquake hazard analysis and city information.To estimate the ground motion level, data for lightemupsequences.com earthquakes with a magnitude greater than 4.5 and an epicenter location within a
We produced a microstructured, electroconductive and nano-functionalized drug eluting cardiac patch (MENDEP) designed to attract endogenous precursor cells, favor their differentiation and counteract adverse ventricular remodeling in situ.MENDEP showed mechanical anisotropy and biaxial strength comparable to porcine myocardium, reduced impedance, c
Despite the overwhelming importance of earthworm activity in the soil system, there are a limited number of here studies that have examined the impact resulting from biochar addition to soil.Biochar is part of the black carbon continuum of chemo-thermal converted biomass.This review summarizes existing data pertaining to earthworms where biochar an
The "oscillation hypothesis" has been proposed as a general explanation for the exceptional diversification of herbivorous insect species.The hypothesis states that speciation rates are elevated through repeated correlated changes--oscillations--in degree of host plant gruvi golden lager specificity and geographic range.The aim of this study is to
GFP-like fluorescent proteins (FPs) are the key color determinants in reef-building corals (class Anthozoa, order Scleractinia) and are of considerable interest as potential genetically encoded fluorescent labels.Here we report 40 additional members of the GFP family from corals.There are three major paralogous lineages of coral FPs.One of them is
