One of the effective methods for ensuring seismic resistance of buildings and structures located in seismic-prone areas is the use of an active seismic protection system.The most common at present is an active seismic protection system based on seismic isolation.Seismic isolations in the form of rubber-metal (RMB) and pendulum sliding bearings (PSB
Background: The study aimed to further evaluate the psychometric properties of one recently developed oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) instrument (PedsQL Oral Health Scale),including student self-report and parent-proxy report.Specifically, we tested the item validity,threshold order, local dependency, and differential item functioning
Abstract Background The functions of proteins are closely related to their subcellular locations.In the post-genomics era, the amount of gene and protein data grows exponentially, which necessitates the prediction of subcellular localization by computational means.Results This paper proposes mitigating the computation burden of alignment-based appr
