Natural gas transmission pipelines have a vital role in human life and thus, they are classified as lifelines.Long-term disruption in the pipeline operation due to landslides would have substantial direct and indirect consequences.Landslides are generally accompanied by large movements of the ground and result in the deformation of the pipeline and
Ca2+-regulated contractility is a key 05rb shades eq determinant of the quality of muscles.The sarcomeric myofilament proteins are essential players in the contraction of striated muscles.The troponin complex in the actin thin filaments plays a central role in the Ca2+-regulation of muscle contraction and relaxation.Among the three subunits of trop
