Bending Stress Response of Strap Beams
(International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR), 2017)
A strap beam is designed to redistribute the weight of a column between two or more footings. The combination of the footings and the strap beams is known as strap footing. Strap footings are in practice are constructed ...
454 Pyrosequencing-based assessment of bacterial diversity and community structure in termite guts, mounds and surrounding soils
(SpringerOpen, 2015)
Termites constitute part of diverse and economically important termite fauna in Africa, but information on gut microbiota and their associated soil microbiome is still inadequate. In this study, we assessed and compared ...

Abstract
Information needs assessment is critical in develop-
ing and running relevant information services. This
article explores the information needs and informa-
tion-seeking patterns of the people living in ...

Characterization of temperature and light effects on the defense response phenotypes associated with the maize Rp1-D21 autoactive resistance gene
(biomedcentral, 2013)
Background: Rp1 is a complex locus of maize, which carries a set of genes controlling race-specific resistance to
the common rust fungus, Puccinia sorghi. The resistance response includes the “Hypersensitive response” ...
Thermal analysis of a CSP-Biogas hybrid power plant
