Abstract This paper presents a review of current techniques employed for dynamic analysis of concrete gravity dams under seismic action.Traditional procedures applied in design bureaus, such Mystery Box as the Pseudo-Static method, often neglect structural dynamic properties, as well as ground amplification effects.A practical alternative arises wi
Hurricanes are a dominant disaster in the Caribbean, always causing serious power outages throughout the islands.Hurricane Maria was a prime example, causing unimaginable destruction of the power infrastructure of Puerto Rico (PR).Consequently, one month after the hurricane landfall, approximately 80% of the population was still without powe
Crop-to-wild gene flow is a mechanism process widely documented, both in plants and animals.This can have positive or negative impacts on the evolution of admixed populations in natural environments, yet the phenomenon is still misunderstood in long-lived woody species, contrary to short-lived crops.Wild olive Olea europaea L.occurs in the same eco
Background: The aim of the study was to describe the epidemiology and study the risk factors, clinical presentation, management, and outcome of rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) in terms of mortality, exenteration, eye salvage, and vision salvage.Methods: This retrospective, observational study was carried out over a period of two months.A
The presence of unusual natural killer cells in human endometrium has been recognized for 30 years, but despite considerable research effort, the in vivo role of uterine natural killer (uNK) cells in both normal and pathological pregnancy remains uncertain.uNK cells may differentiate from precursors present in endometrium, PARA-RID but migration fr
