Enhancing saliva diagnostics: The impact of amylase depletion on MALDI-ToF MS profiles as applied to COVID-19

Smokebuddy Introduction: Human saliva contains a wealth of proteins that can be monitored for disease diagnosis and progression.Saliva, which is easy to collect, has been extensively studied for the diagnosis of numerous systemic and infectious diseases.However, the presence of amylase, the most abundant protein in saliva, can obscure the detection

The Seismic Investigation of Off-Diagonal Steel Braced RC Frames

Steel bracing may be used to enhance the seismic strength of RC frames.Concentric steel bracing generally reduces ductility, which is a key component of seismic design.To overcome the problem, ductile steel brace-RC frame systems are therefore usually introduced in the form of eccentric braces.In the present study, the Off-Diagonal Bracing System (
