Exploring Chinese International Students’ Intercultural Competence in Australian University Classrooms: Challenges and Opportunities

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With the increasing number of Chinese international students in Australian universities, intercultural competence has become a critical factor influencing their interactions with Australian tutors in university classroom settings. Existing research often examines students’ intercultural competence from a single‐method or single‐perspective ...

预应力部分外包组合梁抗弯承载力试验研究与理论分析

open access: yesJianzhu Gangjiegou Jinzhan, 2018
预应力部分外包组合结构是预应力钢-混凝土组合结构的一种特殊形式,有自重轻、跨度大、截面尺寸小和节约材料等特性,能够很好地提高构件的承载力。对8根部分外包组合简支梁进行了承载力试验研究,其中包括6根预应力和2根普通部分外包组合简支梁。研究表明:横截面面积越大预应力部分外包钢的抗弯承载力越高;而且预应力部分外包组合简支梁相对与普通部分外包组合简支梁,抗弯承载力和变形能力有很大的提高。在试验研究的基础上,提出了预应力部分外包组合简支梁承载力建议计算公式 ...

Compliance in Regulatory Gray Areas: The Case of the Organic Seed Standard

open access: yesPolicy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adaptive regulations, designed to balance flexibility with accountability, can embed provisions that unintentionally leave room for firms to shirk on their responsibilities by exploiting flexibility. We call these provisions “regulatory gray areas,” and ask: how should we understand (non‐)compliance in adaptive regulatory settings?

Three Systemic Problems With the Privacy Notice Ecosystem

open access: yesPolicy &Internet, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Privacy notices have become ubiquitous across digital platforms, yet they consistently fail to enable informed user choice about data collection and sharing practices. Despite decades of research and regulatory interventions, users continue to ignore or misunderstand privacy notices.

Effects of Unconditional Cash Transfers on Asset Accumulation Among Low‐Income Households in Rural Northern Uganda

open access: yesPoverty &Public Policy, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cash transfers have become an increasingly important social protection tool in development and humanitarian contexts. In developing countries, cash transfers can be used to build economic resilience. This study examines the effects of unconditional cash transfers on asset accumulation among low‐income households in rural Northern Uganda. Using

弦支网架预应力张拉施工模拟分析

open access: yesJianzhu Gangjiegou Jinzhan, 2016
作为一种新型弦支结构体系,弦支网架由上部刚性网架和下部柔性索通过支杆相连而成。通过预应力张拉可将拉索预应力引入弦支网架中,从而改善结构受力性能,因此预应力张拉施工至关重要。以天津北塘文体中心弦支网架为研究对象,使用ANSYS有限元软件,采用单元生死技术和多时间步连续分析方法对弦支网架预应力张拉施工过程进行模拟,确定了施工过程中各拉索的张拉控制值,并分析了在施工过程中拉索内力、结构位移和杆件应力的变化规律,为该工程预应力张拉施工提供了依据。可为其它弦支网架工程的预应力张拉施工模拟提供参考。

Must the Shit Hit the Fan Before Anyone Responds? Response‐Activating Texts as Catalysts for Organisational Responsiveness

open access: yesRisk, Hazards &Crisis in Public Policy, Volume 17, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The article examines how ‘soft’ information functions in rational organisations that emphasise hard information, and how this affects safety. Drawing on fieldwork in a high‐security prison, we analyse how frontline personnel interpret soft information about potential disturbances. We identify three coexisting institutional logics shaping these

弦支穹顶结构环索预应力设计方法对比研究

open access: yesJianzhu Gangjiegou Jinzhan, 2018
选取几何法及撑杆控制面积法确定环索预应力比,选取支座径向位移相等准则及网壳顶点竖向位移相等准则确定环索预应力幅值,将它们进行交叉组合构成4个环索预应力设计方案。另外还选取刚性索法及改进刚性索法作为环索预应力设计方案。以2008年北京奥运会羽毛球馆屋盖弦支穹顶结构为背景建立了算例结构模型。以结构重量为目标函数,考虑构件的长细比约束、强度应力约束、稳定应力约束和结构位移约束,考虑12个设计荷载工况。基于上述6个环索预应力设计方案,采用ANSYS编程语言分别编制结构优化设计程序,以确定最优的环索预应力设计方案。

From pollen provision to pollinator: Species‐specific sterol assimilation by wild bees in urban landscapes

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1906-1920, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐driven landscape change, particularly urbanization, is reshaping pollinator communities, yet the functional traits that mediate species persistence remain poorly understood. Dietary specialization is commonly used to predict species vulnerability.

含摩擦型消能装置预应力钢柱的耐震性能

open access: yesJianzhu Gangjiegou Jinzhan, 2016
针对预应力钢柱基底含摩擦型消能装置的耐震性能进行研究,探讨初始钢绞线预应力与消能装置的影响。通过钢绞线施拉预应力接合钢柱与基础,用来提供钢柱自复位能力;消能装置采用摩擦型消能,提供柱构件与基础接合的滞回消能能力,因此柱构件在受震后拥有自复位与无残余变形特性。研究参数包含初始预应力大小、摩擦消能面积与摩擦型消能装置的位置。通过理论推导建立预应力与消能装置在钢柱与基础接合的性能模式,进而设计试件进行试验来验证其性能。试验结果表明,柱与基础接合面有开启与闭合的现象;提高摩擦型消能装置螺栓的预应力量 ...
