Divergence in Plant Traits and Increased Modularity Underlie Repeated Transitions Between Low and High Elevations in the Andean Genus Leucheria

Understanding why some plant lineages move from one climatic region to another is a mayor goal of evolutionary biology.In the southern Andes plant lineages that have migrated along mountain ranges tracking cold-humid climates coexist with lineages that have shifted repeatedly between warm-arid at low elevations and cold habitats at high elevations.

The Effect of Structural Uncertainties of Steel Shear Wall on Seismic Performance of Rehabilitated Moment Frame

Uncertainties are inevitable in the estimation of structural engineering issues and increase the cost of retrofitting.In the presence of uncertainties, the results of seismic evaluation are incorrect and create conservatism in acceptance criteria at structural performance levels.Considering and quantification of uncertainties in design and rehabili
