Evaluation of high-strength concrete interior beam-column joints under simulated seismic loading by Leong, Chee Lai

“…A total of eight high strength concrete beam-column joints were built and tested under reversed cyclic loadings to study the structural behaviour of high strength concrete beam-column joints. All specimens only partially met the seismic detailing requirements in NZS 3101: 2006 and the respective test findings explored the possibility of improving upon the design code NZS3101 to accommodate the use of high strength concrete. …”

Unravelling gene regulation in the epidermis during differentiation by Anisa Banu Abdul Rahim

“…The rate-limiting enzyme adenosyl methionine decarboxylase (AMD1) promotes the synthesis of Spd and Spm from Put and changes in AMD1 levels directly influence the ratio and levels of all three polyamines. We find that AMD1 is highly enriched in the suprabasal layers of the human epidermis and is translationally upregulated during in vitro differentiation of immortalized and human primary keratinocytes. …”
