This paper discusses the need for reliable and valid multi-scale and multi-physics prediction models to support the design of new as well as the assessment, maintenance, and repair of existing reinforced concrete structures.A multi-physics and multi-scale deterioration model for chloride-induced corrosion of reinforced concrete has been established
Bipolaris sorokiniana (teleomorph Cochliobolus Sativus): Causer of barley leaf lesions and root rot in Macedonia
Diseased barley Above Ground Liner plants (Hordeum vulgare), were noticed in the area of Kumanovo, Bitola, Probistip, Skopje and Kocani, at the beginning of March, 2006.Our investigations were carried out in the period from 2006 to 2009.The plants were highly diseased, probably in the stage of germination, dwarfed with necrotic leaves and with poor
MicroRNA expression patterns and function in endodermal differentiation of human embryonic stem cells.
BACKGROUND/AIMS: microRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that regulate cognate mRNAs post-transcriptionally.Human embryonic stem cells (hESC), which exhibit the characteristics of pluripotency and self-renewal, may serve as a model to study the role of miRNAs in early human development.We aimed to determine Toys whether endodermally-differentia
