Study on structural robustness to resist progressive collapse of vertical irregularly base-isolated structures by Bao, Chao, Ma, Xiaotong, Lv, Dahai, Wu, Qiaozhi, Doh, Shu Ing, Chin, Siew Choo, Shu, Hongbo, Nor Hayati, Abdul Hamid

“…It is suggested that reasonable protection measures should be set for the isolation bearing with greater vulnerability coefficient which may suffer from extreme accidents and the potential risk of isolation bearing with greater component importance coefficient is eliminated or reduced.…”

A 2'-alkynylnucleotide strategy for site-directed spin labelling of DNA by Haugland, M

“…Herein is also outlined the preparation of azide-bearing nitroxyl radicals. After site-selective incorporation of 2'-alkynylnucleosides into DNA using a standard solid-supported phosphoramidite protocol, the modified oligonucleotides were spin labelled with the azide-bearing nitroxyl spin labels via the Cu(I)-catalysed azide-alkyne [3+2] Huisgen cycloaddition (CuAAC or 'click' reaction). …”
