B/ordering and healthcare access for migrants with precarious status: The role of healthcare workers in counteracting restrictive policies

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract In Canada, precarious migration is largely invisibilized. Nonetheless, b/ordering greatly affects people's realities by limiting access to social rights. In Quebec, migrants with precarious status (MPS) do not have access to healthcare, although Quebec has a “universal” healthcare coverage.

Nonlinear Time-Dependent Behavior of Composite Steel-Concrete Beams

open access: yes, 2016
International audienceThis paper presents a mixed finite element (FE) model for the nonlinear time-dependent analysis of composite beams with partial shear connection. The key idea is to consider, as a first approach, a viscoelastic/plastic model for the

Influence of Environmental Humidity on Concrete Creep

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2019
It is generally accepted that environment humidity as one of the environmental affects concrete creep considerably. The environmental humidity cycling, drying and high level humidity on concrete structures have significant effects on concrete creep. This

The 3‐Hit Metabolic Signaling Model for Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Summary

open access: yesAutism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a highly heritable yet environmentally sensitive neurodevelopmental condition whose biological heterogeneity has resisted a unifying causal explanation for over 100 years. The 3‐hit metabolic signaling model proposes that ASD arises from abnormal persistence of an evolutionarily conserved stress‐response ...

“They say we're a rights‐respecting school but nobody knows what that really means”: Children's rights implementation in a Scottish secondary school

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Education has been an enduring feature of international human rights law since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 and is the only human right that is compulsory for children. Appearing in all major human rights treaties, including the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, education is multidimensional and a multiplier of ...

Time scale in concrete fracture: a model based on partitions of unity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Intense research efforts have been put in the formulation of theories for crack initiation and propagation in concrete. Yet, little attention has been paid to the time-dependence of fracture, despite evidence of its significance.

Stress redistribution of concrete prisms due to creep and shrinkage: long-term observations and analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In 1979, 16 concrete prisms with dimensions 140x150x4000 mm were casted in the Magnel Laboratory for Concrete Research. These prisms differ by the amount of passive reinforcement and by the applied loading level. Four reinforcement ratios were considered,

Refined Finite Element Analysis of Shrinkage and Creep in External Prestressed Reinforced Concrete Beams

open access: yesZhongwai Gonglu
To accurately analyze the shrinkage and creep effects in external prestressed reinforced concrete beams, a method was proposed for analyzing the shrinkage and creep of such beams based on refined finite element analysis.

Transfer Learning Approaches in Bioprocess Engineering: Opportunities and Challenges

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transfer learning (TL) has recently emerged as a promising approach to overcoming one of the key limitations of bioprocess engineering: data scarcity. By leveraging knowledge from one bioprocess to another, TL allows existing models and data sets to be reused efficiently, accelerating process development, improving prediction accuracy, and ...
