especially about those that should be respected during initial conceptual design of the building. In this way we can approach the problem of constructing an earthquake resistant structure from another end‚ by trying to avoid the “bad” structure layouts already during the initial design phase. Introduction The experiences from the past strong earthquakes prove that the initial conceptual design of a building is extremely important for the behaviour of the building during an earthquake. It was shown repeatedly

Batteries‚ Resistance and Current “Battery-Resistor”: Check “show battery” and “show cores”‚ watch what happens‚ adjust some variables 1. Why do electrons (blue dots) move? Draw a diagram of the battery‚ label the flow of electrons. The flow of current (+) is opposite; draw this and note if toward or away from + terminal of the battery. The electrons move because of the battery voltage. The current flows in the opposing direction of the electrons and the electrons flow towards the positive

Antibiotic resistance has enabled germs that once caused very little harm the ability to leave us in dire straights. The worst part of these “Super Bugs” (Clemmitt‚ 2007) is that people can be walking around with them infecting others without knowing it. Evolution of bugs due to the overuse of antibiotics

The first article reviewed is ‘Post exercise net protein synthesis in human muscle from orally administered amino acids’ by Kevin D. Tipton et al‚ published in the ‘American Journal of Physiology – Endocrinology and Metabolism’ in 1999. The study conducted examined the effects orally administered amino acids post resistance exercise has on protein synthesis and metabolism. The reason this study was conducted was to determine if taking amino acids orally‚ which is easily done‚ is just as effective
