Evaluation of Seismic Behavior of Irregular Structures in Plan and Height by Using Non-Linear Static Analysis

According to the architectural and operational considerations and creation of a variety of irregularities in plan and height of buildings, studying seismic behavior of these buildings has always been in the center of researchers' attention. This study investigated seismic behavior of irregular buildings in plan and height by using non-linear static analysis. Selected irregularities were defined to evaluate in two ways including geometric irregularities in plan and height as well as mixing these two mentioned ones. Irregularities in plan were defined in one direction and with two values of low and high. Irregularity at height was created through recession on one direction of building in two stairs. In addition, some buildings were taken into account with mixed irregularities in plan and height in low and high forms. Defined irregular buildings were designed by three types of systems including special steel flexure frame, special steel flexure frame with special converged bracing, and special steel flexure frame with special concrete sheer wall by using ninth and tenth sections of national regulations. After designing mentioned buildings in PERFORM 3D, non-linear static analysis was performed in both directions

Seeking to ESKAPE the Resistant Bacteria Crisis

There is a problem on the horizon, growing, resisting, mutating. Common bacteria that cause infections have been growing in their resistance to antibiotics due to the overuse of antibacterial drugs. This is where our research comes in. Class 004 of JCCC has been conducting experiments on microbes found in ordinary soil all over Overland park and its surrounding areas. The microbes from this soil sample were isolated from the suburbs of Grandview. The goal of these tests is to discover if the bacteria present in this sample could be used to impede the growth of antibacterial resistant pathogens, especially the ESKAPE pathogens. We isolated a promising colony that showed a good zone of inhibition against three of the ESKAPE pathogens safe relatives. This colony has been named Luke Poush (1) and through gram staining, the bacteria has come out positive. A PCR test has been conducted to discover what species it may be, results have not yet been made, but the identity will be revealed soon
