DENSITY-DEPENDENCE OF NESTLING IMMUNE FUNCTION AND PHYSIOLOGICAL CONDITION IN SEMI-PRECOCIAL COLONIAL BIRD: A CROSS-FOSTERING EXPERIMENT

Density-dependence of nestling immune function and physiological condition in semi-precocial colonial bird: a cross-fostering experiment

Abstract Background Nesting in large aggregations provides several important advantages for colonially breeding birds.However, it also imposes certain costs, associated with facilitated pathogen transmission and social stress.The cost-benefit ratio is not similar for all the birds in a colony and it might be mediated by nest density.To investigate

Effect of pre-tensioning force on behavior of Buckling Restrained Brace (BRB) supported by double pre-tensioning system

The study explores the feasibility of a new all-steel buckling restrained brace (BRB) with the double pre-tensioning system as an alternative to conventional concentrically braced frames by using finite element walkkick method (ABAQUS program), And to verify modeling, use U-V1 specimen results and compare them with test results.The restraining elem
