Mechanical and architectural

This research has raised the question of whether the vibration transmission at a wall junction depends on how the wall is excited (by either a sound wave or a mechanical shaker). The aim of this research is to investigate this question and hence contribute to the revision of the series of standards. Villot and Guigou-Carter (2000) have considered this problem but their equations (10) and (13) appear to be in error. This research will endeavour to derive the correct equations and r epeat Villot and Guigou Carter’s calculations.

One of the limitations of the BDI (Belief-Desire-Intention) model is the lack of any explicit mechanisms within the architecture to be able to learn. In particular, BDI agents do not possess the ability to adapt based on past experience. This is important in dynamic environments as they can change, causing previously successful methods for achieving goals to become inefficient or ineffective.

The main aim of this study is to investigate utilising root-like architectures to improve the interfacial strength of pin-integrated hybrid composite-metal structures. Joints are critical elements in aircraft structures and require special consideration due to their vital role in the structural integrity of airframes. Although bonded and bolted systems are used commonly in engineering applications, pinning technologies have shown tremendous potential for hybrid joints.

High-resolution crystal structures of large ribosomal subunits from Deinococcus radioduranscomplexed with tRNA-mimics indicate that precise substrate positioning, mandatory for efficient protein biosynthesis with no further conformational rearrangements, is governed by remote interactions of the tRNA helical features.

Iron overload in the liver may occur in clinical conditions such as hemo-chromatosis and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and may lead to the deterior-ation of the normal liver architecture by mechanisms not well understood. Although a relationship between the expression of ICAM-1, and classical major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules, and iron over-load has been reported, no relationship has been identified between iron overload and the expression of unconventional MHC class I molecules....

Security Attack: Any action that compromises the security of information. Security Mechanism: A mechanism that is designed to detect, prevent, or recover from a security attack. Security Service: A service that enhances the security of data processing systems and information transfers. A security service makes use of one or more security mechanisms.

c-Glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT; EC 2.3.2.2), an enzyme found in organ-isms from bacteria to mammals and plants, plays a central role in glutathi-one metabolism. Structural studies of GGTs from Escherichia coliand Helicobacter pylori have revealed detailed molecular mechanisms of catalysis and maturation.

Human Disc large (DLG1) has been demonstrated to be involved in the control of cell polarity and maintenance of tissue architecture, and is fre-quently lost in human tumours. However, the mechanisms controlling DLG1 expression are poorly understood.
