A novel data acquisition system for obtaining thermal parameters of building envelopes
(Buildings, 2022)Owing to the high energy consumption in the building sector, appraising the thermal performance of building envelopes is an increasing concern. Recently, a few in situ methodologies to diagnose the ... -
comTAR: a web tool for the prediction and characterization of conserved microRNA targets in plants
(Bioinformatics, 2014)Motivation: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are major regulators of gene expression in plants and animals. They recognize their target messenger RNAs (mRNAs) by sequence complementarity and guide them to cleavage ... -
Corrosion performance and strain behavior of reinforced concrete: Effect of natural pozzolan as partial substitute for microsilica in concrete mixtures
(Structures, 2025)Reinforced-concrete structures in southern Iran are susceptible to chloride-ion-induced corrosion, thus necessitating measures to reduce concrete permeability and protect embedded steel reinforcements. ... -
Effect of the soil type on the dynamic response of a tunnel under surface detonation
(Combustion, Explosion, and Shock Waves, 2016)The analysis of the dynamic response of a circular tunnel in three types of soil at different depths under surface detonation of a 250-kg TNT charge reveals that the tunnel peak particle velocity and ... -
Efficiency and precision of microRNA biogenesis modes in plants
(Nucleic Acids Research, 2018)Many evolutionarily conserved microRNAs (miRNAs) in plants regulate transcription factors with key functions in development. Hence, mutations in the core components of the miRNA biogenesis machinery ... -
Enhancing civil engineering education through affordable AR tools for visualizing BIM models
(Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2024)Traditionally, civil engineering infrastructures have been represented through two-dimensional (2D) drawings, which can lead to interpretation errors and jeopardize engineers’ understanding of complex ... -
Evaluation of the effect of explosion on the concrete bridge deck using LS-DYNA
(International Review of Civil Engineering (IRECE), 2021)Due to serious damage of concrete structures caused by natural hazards and accidents, evaluating dynamic response of these structures is one of the most important objectives in the field of engineering. ... -
Evolutionary footprints reveal insights into plant MicroRNA biogenesis
(The Plant Cell, 2017)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small RNAs that recognize target sequences by base complementarity and play a role in the regulation of target gene expression. They are processed from longer precursor ... -
Identification of key sequence features required for microRNA biogenesis in plants
(Nature Communications, 2020)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small RNAs of ∼21 nt that regulate multiple biological pathways in multicellular organisms. They derive from longer transcripts that harbor an imperfect stem-loop ... -
Identification of new microRNA-regulated genes by conserved targeting in plant species
(Nucleic Acids Research, 2012)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are major regulators of gene expression in multicellular organisms. They recognize their targets by sequence complementarity and guide them to cleavage or translational arrest. It is ... -
Investigating concrete durability: The impact of natural pozzolan as a partial substitute for microsilica in concrete mixtures
(Construction and Building Materials, 2024)The structural foundations in southern Iran face a formidable challenge due to extensive corrosion. To enhance concrete strength and durability, the construction industry in this region typically ... -
Investigation of dynamic behaviour of concrete bridge columns under surface Bbasting
(Sharif Journal of Civil Engineering, 2018)This paper, using hydro code -LS-DYNA, investigates and observes the dynamic response of cemented bridge under the effect ... -
MetaPhOrs 2.0: integrative, phylogeny-based inference of orthology and paralogy across the tree of life
(Nucleic Acids Research, 2020)Inferring homology relationships across genes in different species is a central task in comparative genomics. Therefore, a large number of resources and methods have been developed over the years. Some ... -
Multiple RNA recognition patterns during microRNA biogenesis in plants
(Genome Research, 2013)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) derive from longer precursors with fold-back structures. While animal miRNA precursors have homogenous structures, plant precursors comprise a collection of fold-backs with variable ... -
