Evaluation of U.S. and European Concrete Pavement Noise Reduction Methods, July 2006 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Highway noise is one of the most pressing of the surface characteristics issues facing the concrete paving industry. This is particularly true in urban areas, where not only is there a higher population density near major thoroughfares, but also a ...

Benchmarking Data‐Driven Control of Octopus‐Inspired Soft Arms in Underwater Environment

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Underwater soft robots present safe, compliant interaction, yet reproducible control remains scarce. This work presents an open benchmark for octopus‐inspired arms: a smooth, velocity‐diverse data‐collection scheme produces a compact dataset to train a vanilla policy.

Designing and evaluating a neuroanatomy learning experience using multiple external representations

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuroanatomy is challenging, requiring multiple external representations (MER) for comprehension. While studies have examined individual representations of neuroanatomy, a gap remains in understanding how students link across MER, especially between technology‐generated representations with everyday experiences.

Form flows function: Learner‐centered game Re‐design in a STEM classroom

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Re‐designing games facilitates interest‐driven learning and immerses learners in systems thinking. However, there are limited studies exploring how the form and function of tabletop games influence learners' design decisions and learning experiences. To address this gap, we conducted a mixed‐methods study in a STEM classroom in western Canada.

Development of safe construction temperature ranges to avoid blow-ups in Ultra-Thin Concrete Pavements

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
After the construction of an ultra-thin concrete pavement, ambient temperatures may induce an axial force within the pavement due to thermal expansion that can lead to the formation of a blow-up failure.

Concrete for Road Pavements

open access: yesProcedia Engineering, 2017
Abstract To create a high performance road concrete it is advisable to use two complex additives simultaneously with the aim of increasing concrete density, strength, hardness, corrosion resistance and durability. A complex admixture on the basis of a mix of polycarboxylate polymers modified by inorganic substances including nanostructure elements ...

The Grey Zone of Stakeholder Engagement: Misalignment as a Manifestation of Greyness in Stakeholder Collaboration

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study identifies and conceptualises the grey zone of stakeholder engagement and explores how it manifests in a collaborative context related to the promotion of a circular economy. While prior research on stakeholder engagement has highlighted the positive, value‐creating bright side or the harmful dark side of stakeholder engagement, we ...

Laboratory Study of Structural Behavior of Alternative Dowel Bars;TR-510, April 2006 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Load transfer across transverse joints has always been a factor contributing to the useful life of concrete pavements. For many years, round steel dowels have been the conventional load transfer mechanism.
