Punching shear of unbonded post‐tensioned steel fiber reinforced concrete slabs: The fiber contribution

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) enhances the flexural capacity of flat slabs and, due to its effectiveness in statically redundant bi‐dimensional elements, represents a viable alternative to conventional reinforcement. Although numerous studies have investigated the flexural behavior of SFRC slabs with and without bonded reinforcement ...

Reverse engineering strut‐and‐tie models for assessing reinforced concrete structures

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Strut‐and‐tie models enable the design of reinforced concrete structures with static or geometrical discontinuities, providing interpretability and control over the load path. These models are valuable for designing discontinuity regions of new structures and for validating nonlinear finite‐element analysis results. However, developing a strut‐

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Gender Differences in Risk Preferences: Implications for Adoption of Climate Smart Agricultural Technologies

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The gender gap in risk preferences in rural farm households, with female farmers commonly viewed as more risk‐averse than their male counterparts, may have profound implications for addressing the gendered impacts of climate change. Understanding these gender differences and their drivers is essential for designing policies that enhance ...

On the structure of normalized models of circular-arc graphs -- Hsu\u27s approach revisited

Circular-arc graphs are the intersection graphs of arcs of a circle. The main result of this work describes the structure of all \emph{normalized intersection models} of circular-arc graphs.

Volumetric Comparison of Overall Brain and Neuropil Size Between Social and Non‐social Spiders: Exploring the Social Brain Hypothesis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Brain size may be influenced by the cognitive demands of sociality (social brain hypothesis). We used microCT to compare CNS and brain volumes in social versus solitary huntsman and crab spiders. Social huntsman spiders had larger arcuate and mushroom bodies, while social crab spiders had larger visual neuropils.
