Comparison of Creep Prediction Models for Self-Compacting and Conventional Concrete [PDF]
, 2011 Realistic prediction of concrete creep is of crucial importance for durability and long-term serviceability of concrete structures. To date, research about the behaviour of self-compacting concrete (SCC) members, especially concerning the long-term ...

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.Objective Somatic DNMT3A mutations are the most common drivers of clonal hematopoiesis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and have been associated with seropositive disease and increased inflammatory markers. These mutations are predominantly hypomorphic or dominant‐negative, reducing DNMT3A function.

Advances in Bridge EngineeringDuring the long-term service periods of Prestressed Concrete(PC) continuous girder bridges, structural time-varying reliability will degrade due to cyclic creep induced by dynamic vehicle loading, which increases the risk of structural failure.

Concrete Deformations under Simultaneous Impact of Loading and Alternate Freezing and Thawing
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017 To the best knowledge available today, the creep of concrete is understood as slow plastic deformation caused by continuous external factors. Changes occurring in the structure of concrete are however not discussed.

British 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 ...

Animal empathy reconsidered: a multidimensional profile account
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Empathy is the glue that holds societies together and yet several fundamental questions about empathy persist. What is empathy (the definitional question)? Is it uniquely human and, if not, which nonhuman animals possess empathy (the distribution question)? Which type or quality of empathy is realized in different species (the quality question)

Efficient Approximation Method for Concrete Creep Compliance Function
Yuanzineng kexue jishuFor concrete, the strain tends to grow when the stress is kept at a constant level. This phenomenon is usually referred to as creep. Creep is an important physical property of concrete.

The Evolution and Integration of ESG Reporting: A Framework for Sustainable Business Accountability
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how multinational corporations incorporate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting frameworks to foster trust, enhance legitimacy, and move beyond mere symbolic disclosure. A qualitative comparison of Microsoft and Unilever from 2020 to 2023 assesses how both firms integrate leading standards, including GRI ...
