The fragility of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) frame structures with buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) subjected to multiple earthquakes is studied in this paper.First, a fiber beam element model with rate-dependent concrete and steel material properties is developed for CFST members and, then, the effect of the strain rate on the seismic re
Bacterial wilt (BW) caused by Ralstonia solanacearum (R.solanacearum), is a vascular disease affecting diverse solanaceous crops and causing tremendous damage to crop production.However, our knowledge of the mechanism underlying its resistance or susceptibility is very limited.In this study, we characterized the berness white sneakers physiological
This study investigates the feasibility of establishing urine-derived tumor organoids from bladder cancer (BC) patients as an alternative to tissue-derived organoids.BC is one of the most common cancers worldwide and current diagnostic methods involve invasive procedures.Here, we investigated the potential of using urine samples, which contain exfo
Monitoring the dynamics of surface water using remotely sensed data generally requires both high spatial and high temporal resolutions.One effective and popular approach for achieving this is image fusion.This study adopts a widely accepted fusion model, the Enhanced Spatial and Temporal Adaptive Reflectance Fusion Model (ESTARFM), for blending the
