Probing the conformational changes of the yeast mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier
… the substrate binding site is regulated by salt bridge networks on either side of the central cavity, called the matrix and cytoplasmic salt bridge network. It has been proposed that during transport the salt bridge networks disrupt and form in an alternating way, opening and closing the binding …

Framework for risk-based management and safety of railroad bridge infrastructure using wireless smart sensors (WSS)
… and comply with new federal regulations on bridge safety, North American railroads are exploring means and methods to improve the management of their bridge networks. Current maintenance, repair, and replacement (MRR) decisions are informed by bridge inspections and ratings. Inspection and …

Effects of disparate information levels on bridge management and safety
… planning and life-cycle assessment methods for bridge networks have received large research interest for many years; with modern emphasis often based on probabilistic approaches, due to their ability to handle uncertainty. This allows for risk-based approaches to quantify structural safety, …

Semplified seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Masonry Arch Bridges
… seismic vulnerability assessment of masonry arch bridges with common typologies in Europe. Bridges are, in most cases, the most vulnerable elements in the transportation network during an earthquake; therefore, their seismic vulnerability assessment is necessary for a proper planning of the …

Exploring the impact of socio-cultural adaptation and information literacy skills challenges on the academic self-efficacy of Nigerian students in Higher Education institutions in Scotland.
… socio-cultural interventions (such as "cultural bridge networks") to enhance the transition process. Using previous established IL models/frameworks, the study proposes key practical recommendations that reinforce the notion that an individual's societal and cultural orientation influences …

Next generation seismic fragility curves for california bridges incorporating the evolution in seismic design philosophy
… assessment of the seismic risk to highway bridges is crucial in pre-earthquake planning, and post-earthquake response of transportation systems. Such assessments provide valuable knowledge about a number of principal effects of earthquakes such as traffic disruption of the overall highway …

New methodologies for multi-scale time-variant reliability analysis of complex lifeline networks
… are available for such purposes. Since these networks are existing, the time state is also important. If networks are close to chloride sources, deterioration may be a major issue. Information from field inspections may also have large impacts on quantitative models. To address such issues, …
