Short-Term Creep Experiment of Cement Asphalt Mortar and Its Numerical Simulation

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2016
In order to investigate the creep performance of cement asphalt mortar (CA mortar), the field sampling of CA mortar cylinder samples was produced, and all samples were tested on WDW series electric universal testing machine by using uniaxial static creep

How curriculum modifications shape educational pathways: Evidence from linked administrative data in Switzerland

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The increasing heterogeneity of learning needs and preconditions in inclusive mainstream classrooms entails that not all learners are equally able to meet the regular learning objectives. In response, various integrative measures have been implemented to tailor instruction to students' individual needs.

Mechanical Behavior of Red Sandstone under Incremental Uniaxial Cyclical Compressive and Tensile Loading

Shock and Vibration, 2017
Uniaxial experiments were carried out on red sandstone specimens to investigate their short-term and creep mechanical behavior under incremental cyclic compressive and tensile loading. First, based on the results of short-term uniaxial incremental cyclic

Understanding out‐of‐field teacher self‐efficacy beliefs: A person‐centred approach

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Teaching out‐of‐field (OOF) has been a widespread global phenomenon and a cause of concern for school leaders and policymakers due to the potential impact it has on teaching quality and student learning. However, research on how the nature of OOF teaching impacts various teachers' psychological attributes such as teacher self‐efficacy (TSE ...

Transient Creep in Olivine at Shallow Mantle Pressures: Implications for Time‐Dependent Rheology in Post‐Seismic Deformation

Geophysical Research Letters
Transient creep in olivine aggregates has been studied by stress‐relaxation experiments at pressures of 1.7–3.6 GPa and at temperatures of ≤1020 K in a DIA apparatus. Time‐dependent deformation of olivine at small strains (

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.

Can Private Equity Deliver on Its Societal Ambitions? What We Know and Don't Know About Environmental, Social, and Governance Factor Integration in Private Equity

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Private equity (PE) firms increasingly integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in investment decisions and raise impact funds to address sustainability challenges. We review and integrate the growing body of literature on why, when, and how PE fund managers incorporate ESG factors into their investment strategies and ...

Can Sustainable Entrepreneurship Create Value for Enterprises? Examining the Roles of Corporate Reputation and Entrepreneurs' Self‐Promotion Behavior

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To understand the heterogeneous performance outcomes of sustainable entrepreneurship, this study investigates the role of founder impression management. We develop and test a moderated mediation model, drawing on signaling and impression management theories, using a dual‐study design with longitudinal data (n = 217) and survey data (n = 259 ...
