each other and the horizontal rings at a single node. The members combine to create an element similar to a moment frame. In a Diagrid structure‚ gravity and lateral loads are resisted by all of the members‚ creating efficiency and large amounts of structural redundancy. A Diagrid structure effectively creates a rigid shell which can be thought of as a very thin‚ deep beam. Some noteworthy examples of buildings that have the Diagrid incorporated are The Swiss Re building in London known as The Gherkin

something which mesmerized me‚ then it has to be huge structures like railroads‚ airports‚ highways and all such Mega Structures. After I grew up‚ I learnt that all my areas of interest coincided with what the course of Civil Engineering offered. This made Civil Engineering as my obvious choice for under-graduation. I worked hard towards my interest and secured admission into Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology‚ Hyderabad which is one of the premier technical institutions of the country.

Genetic engineering is a method of plant breeding that allows the transfer of genes from one plant into another‚ unrelated‚ plant species. The chief goal of producing genetically modified plants is to create species that do not naturally occur in the environment. Pros of plant genetic engineering include: Creating crops that are resistant to herbicides. Creating crops that possess resistance to insects. Producing plants that have richer nutritional value. Creating plants that could serve as vaccines

I initially became interested in pursuing a career in biomedical engineering when I had knee surgery in 2011‚ which disabled me from being able to fully use my knee. My career goal is to be a Biomedical Engineer and I believe the BRITE Program here at North Carolina Central University will help me reach my goal. As alum from the City of Medicine Academy here in Durham‚ I have been exposed to the field of health services and medical care. I know that pursuing a degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences

Genetic engineering of plants (crops) Pros|Cons| Less tillage needed‚ especially with crops containing herbicide tolerance transgenes‚ therefore conserves fertility through minimizing soil damage through compression. |GE agriculture claims low tillage weed control: this can be achieved by ending the practice of monoculture and instead introducing proper crop rotations designed specifically to combat the weeds of the particular locality. Monoculture creates a weed paradise. | All countries face

infrastructure on the lines of biomimicking principles requires the development of highly advanced structural systems which has the qualities of aesthetic expression‚ structural efficiency and most importantly geometric versatility. Diagrids‚ the latest mutation of tubular structures‚ have an optimum combination of the above qualities. In this paper‚ the peculiarities of the Diagrid‚ its structural behavior under loading and the design and construction of diagrid nodes are described. A case study
