STRENGTH AND ENERGY DISSIPATION OF TIMBER SHEAR WALLS SUBJECTED TO ARBITRARY DEFORMATION HISTORY STUDY ON FATIGUE BEHAVIOR OF TIMBER STRUCTURES SUBJECTED TO REPEATED EARTHQUAKE MOTIONS: PART 1

Strength and energy dissipation of timber shear walls subjected to arbitrary deformation history study on fatigue behavior of timber structures subjected to repeated earthquake motions: Part 1

Abstract Repeated cyclic loading is thought to decrease the force and deformation capacity of timber shear socksmith santa cruz walls due to the fatigue behavior.This study evaluates the strength and energy dissipation of two typical timber shear walls subjected to various deformation histories to develop a response spectrum method considering the

Importance of endocrine treatment adherence and persistence in breast cancer survivorship: a systematic review

Abstract Purpose Adjuvant endocrine treatment is essential for treating luminal subtypes of breast cancer, which constitute 75% of all breast malignancies.However, the detrimental side effects of treatment make it difficult for many patients to complete the guideline-required treatment.Such non-adherence may jeopardize the lifesaving ability of ant

Assessing Lateral Interaction in the Synesthetic Visual Brain

In grapheme-color synesthesia, letters and numbers evoke abnormal colored perceptions.Although the underlying mechanisms are not known, it is largely thought that the synesthetic brain is characterized by atypical connectivity throughout various brain regions, including the visual areas.To study the putative impact of synesthesia on the visual brai
