Seismic Behavior of a Novel Blind Bolted Flush End-Plate Connection to Strengthened Concrete-Filled Steel Tube Columns

Modified blind bolts (Hollo-Bolt) and a locally strengthened steel tube column in the panel zone were created to overcome the moment-resisting problem for the bolted connections between concrete-filled hollow section columns and open section beams and to enhance the performance of connections.The cyclic loading was conducted on a total of six modif

Bioactive 3D-Shaped Wound Dressings Synthesized from Bacterial Cellulose: Effect on Cell Adhesion of Polyvinyl Alcohol Integrated In Situ

We investigated wound dressing composites comprising fibrils of bacterial cellulose (BC) grown by fermentation in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) followed by physical crosslinking.The reference biointerface, neat BC, favoured adhesion of fibroblasts owing to size Plein air - Homme - Chaussures - Sandale exclusion effects.Furthermore, it res
