Adjacent structure response sensitivity to seismic events using the direct differentiation method

Creator:: White, William S.
Abstract:: The response of adjacent structural systems to earthquake motions is investigated using the finite element framework OpenSees. Results of sensitivity analyses demonstrate that structural response quantities can increase in either or both of the adjacent structures for specific configurations. The structural models used include steel moment-resisting frames and rigid shear...

Investigation of Nematocyst Discharge in Parasitic Cnidarians (Myxozoa)

Creator:: Americus, Benjamin E.
Abstract:: Myxozoans are an enigmatic group of obligately parasitic, microscopic cnidarians. They diverged from their free-living relatives over 600 million years ago and have highly reduced genomes. However, they have retained nematocyst stinging cells which characterize the phylum Cnidaria. Free-living cnidarians utilize this cellular weaponry for defense and predation whereas the...
