UNCERTAINTY EFFECT ON SEISMIC CAPACITY ASSESSMENT IN THE OUT-OF-PLANE FAILURE MECHANISMS OF MASONRY STRUCTURES BY PROBABILISTIC AND NON-PROBABILISTIC APPROACHES

The present paper aims to provide a contribution in the study of the seismic analysis of existing masonry structures in presence of uncertain parameters described by following both probabilistic and non-probabilistic models.By posing the attention on the local out-of-plane failure mechanisms, the non-deterministic analysis is conducted on the kinem

Background: Unmet need remains high in developing regions.New contraceptive technologies may improve uptake and use.This study examines desirable product characteristics.Methods: We added a module to the female questionnaire of the PMA2020 surveys in Burkina Faso and Uganda and conducted 50 focus group discussions (FGDs) with women, 10 FGDs with me

Equinocavovarus deformity is the most common foot and ankle deformity in patients suffering from Post Polio Residual Paralysis (PPRP).These deformities can lead to gait abnormalities, abnormal Tacking Strip pressure areas, increased energy expenditure and joint arthritis which eventually hampers the quality of life.We reports case of a 30 year old

Thorny-headed worms (Acanthocephala) are endoparasites exploiting Mandibulata (Arthropoda) and Gnathostomata (Vertebrata).Despite their world-wide occurrence and economic relevance as a pest, genome and transcriptome assemblies have not been published before.However, such data might hold clues for a sustainable control of acanthocephalans in animal

Information on soil erosion and related sedimentation processes are very important for natural resource management and sustainable farming.Plenty of models are available for studying soil erosion but only a few are suitable for dynamic soil erosion assessments Bodysuit at the field-scale.To date, there are no field-scale dynamic models available co
