Antioxidant and protein anti-denaturation properties of an Algerian Opuntia ficus-indica aqueous extract: complementary in vitro and exploratory in silico analyses

Abstract Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill. is a source of hydrophilic phenolic constituents with potential redox and protein-stabilising properties. The present study evaluated the antioxidant and protein anti-denaturation activities of a previously characterised aqueous extract an...

Numerical Investigation of Steel Frames with Corrugated-Web Reduced Beam Sections for Enhanced Progressive Collapse Resistance

Following our earlier work on reduced beam section (RBS) connections, this study examines a new set of corrugated-web cell configurations for steel moment-resisting connections. A finite element model, validated against four experimental investigations reported in the literature,...
