Earthquake-resistant structures

STRUCTURES DESIGNED TO PROTECT BUILDINGS FROM EARTHQUAKES

Earthquake engineering structures; Earthquake resistant construction; Earthquake resilience; Earthquake resistant structures

Earthquake-resistant or aseismic structures are designed to protect buildings to some or greater extent from earthquakes. While no structure can be entirely immune to damage from earthquakes, the goal of earthquake-resistant construction is to erect structures that fare better during seismic activity than their conventional counterparts.

Wikipedia

Resistant starch

Resistant starch (RS) is starch, including its degradation products, that escapes from digestion in the small intestine of healthy individuals. Resistant starch occurs naturally in foods, but it can also be added as part of dried raw foods, or used as an additive in manufactured foods.

Some types of resistant starch (RS1, RS2 and RS3) are fermented by the large intestinal microbiota, conferring benefits to human health through the production of short-chain fatty acids, increased bacterial mass, and promotion of butyrate-producing bacteria.

Resistant starch has similar physiological effects as dietary fiber, behaving as a mild laxative and possibly causing flatulence.
