Nanosecond, Nanometer Movies of MEMS/NEMS Dynamics in a Standard SEM Using Time‐Tagged Secondary Electrons

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
For the observation of micromechanical devices, a fast imaging technique with high temporal resolution is needed. Here, we demonstrate that a standard scanning electron microscope can be converted into a time‐resolving instrument using a fast detector and a time‐to‐digital converter.

Structural capacity of precast concrete walls with openings: A parametric study on connection types and reinforcement ratios

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The structural role of precast concrete walls with openings is often overlooked in design practice due to concerns about reduced stiffness, stress concentration, cracking around openings, and potential unexpected failure modes under seismic loading.

The influence of secondary reinforcement on a strut‐and‐tie model for the design of reinforced concrete corbels

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In precast concrete structures, optimizing the design of corbels by considering the contributions of secondary reinforcement elements can significantly improve construction economy, especially when corbels are repeated multiple times. This paper proposes a strut‐and‐tie model for reinforced concrete corbels subjected to vertical and/or ...

Flexural behavior of precast prestressed slabs with embedded building service systems

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Dry‐assembled precast concrete construction is rapidly spreading in many parts of the world due to the several advantages offered by industrialized construction. In order to speed up not only the assemblage of the structure, but also the full integrated building process, engineering systems (mechanical–electrical–plumbing) may be prefabricated

A Note on Symmetric Properties of the Twisted -Bernoulli Polynomials and the Twisted Generalized -Bernoulli Polynomials

open access: yesAdvances in Difference Equations, 2010
We define the twisted -Bernoulli polynomials and the twisted generalized -Bernoulli polynomials attached to of higher order and investigate some symmetric properties of them.

Deflection‐based assessment of residual prestress in simply‐supported bridges accounting for creep variability

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Several test methods have been proposed in the literature for measuring the level of residual prestress, most of them involving either semi‐ or fully destructive techniques for local measurements which could be highly sensitive to boundary conditions and execution details.

The Role of Science Course Pathways in Predicting College Enrollment: Insight From A Large Urban School District

open access: yesJournal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although high school science course‐taking is highly valued in college admissions, its predictability for college enrollment, a key step in access to many STEM fields, has not been sufficiently investigated in the context of wide variability in science courses and updated standards.

Tree cover and geographic origin of tree species drive bird functional groups in urban environments

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban trees provide habitat and resources for wild species in cities and support biodiversity provision of ecosystem services, among which insect control is particularly relevant. Predators of insects are promoted by the presence of trees and, in turn, may enhance biosecurity of the trees.

Factors influencing wintering turfgrass field use in Atlantic brant

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Atlantic brant Branta bernicla hrota increasingly use turfgrass fields, such as baseball fields and golf courses, throughout their wintering range. Most studies have focused on their primary food source, submerged aquatic vegetation, while studies of other goose species worldwide have examined field use in different contexts, including agricultural ...
