Finite Element Modelling and Simulation of Tunnel Gates of Dam Structures in ABAQUS Using Reduced-Integrated 8-Node Hexahedral Solid-Shell Element

Tunnel gates used for water regulation are very important and critical parts of dam safety.This is because they are exposed to the hydrostatic pressure of the total height of the water in the reservoir.In this case study, a nonlinear finite element modelling and simulation of the diversion tunnel gate of the Gokdere Bridge Dam in Adana, Turkey, are

Sequence variation and immunogenicity of the Mycoplasma genitalium MgpB and MgpC adherence proteins during persistent infection of men with non-gonococcal urethritis.

Mycoplasma genitalium is a sexually transmitted bacterial pathogen that infects men and women.Antigenic variation of MgpB and MgpC, the immunodominant adherence proteins of M.genitalium, is thought to contribute to immune evasion and chronic infection.We investigated the evolution of mgpB Default and mgpC sequences in men with non-gonococcal urethr
