Designer engineers have always the serious challenge regarding the choice of the kind of structures to use in the areas with significant seismic activities.Development of fragility curve provides an opportunity for Box Bag designers to select a structure that will have the least fragility.This paper presents an investigation into the seismic vulner
Vancouver Island Crisis Society has developed a unique approach to suicide prevention for youth and is encouraged to observe the positive impact these programs have had in the lives of students and on school communities as a result.This is the story of the evolution of two such school-based suicide prevention programs: (a) GRASP (Growth, Resilience
Abstract Plant movements for survival are nontrivial.Antheridia in the moss Physcomitrium patens (P.patens) use motion to eject sperm in the presence of water.However, the biological and mechanical mechanisms that actuate the process are unknown.Here, the burst of the antheridium of P.patens, triggered by water, results from elastic instability and
The small number of high-migratory cancer cells in a cell population make studies on high-migratory cancer cells difficult.For the development of migration assays for such cancer cells, several microfluidic devices have been developed.However, they measure migration that is influenced by microstructures and they collect not only high-migratory cell
