Recent advances in multifunctional soft robots: A materials–structures–systems co‐design perspective for synergistic integration

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

Experimental Study of the Crack Widening Mechanisms in Polymer Fiber Reinforced Concrete

open access: yes, 2015
Though much has been reported on the creep of conventional concrete and the mechanisms responsible for its time-dependent behaviour, the creep of fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) is just being understood. A number of research articles have reported on the

Accelerated Creep of Asphalt Concrete at Medium Temperatures

open access: yesApplied Sciences
In this paper, the accelerated creep under uniaxial tension of hot fine-grained dense asphalt concrete at temperatures of 22–24 °C and stresses from 0.084 MPa to 0.596 MPa is experimentally investigated.

Deliberate Practice Supervision to Enhance the Effectiveness of Behavioral Activation for Depression: A Case Study

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Psychology, Volume 81, Issue 6, Page 526-537, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Deliberate Practice (DP) is a model of behavioral skill acquisition structured by several key tasks. The past decade has shown a consistent growth in interest in this form of learning for psychotherapy skills, with promising research suggesting DP training is superior to traditional learning methods of psychotherapy. This paper presents a case

Kinetic Simulation of the Logarithmic Creep of Cement

open access: yes, 2018
Many amorphous materials display a logarithmic creep behavior, driven by the rare occurrence of complex, hardly detectable, microscopic, structural rearrangements.

Cognitive and affective empathy predict young children's involvement in bullying one year later

open access: yesJCPP Advances, EarlyView.
The study is a secondary data analysis of the UK Stand Together trial, investigating whether affective empathy and cognitive empathy at baseline predict involvement in bullying 1 year later. Using causal inference methods on data from over 4000 primary school children, we found that high empathy was associated with a decreased risk of becoming a bully ...

Crack-free concrete : an understanding of creep

open access: yes, 2011
A durable structure of concrete is achieved when no cracking occurs during the young ages of the hardening process. Therefore, it’s of importance to address shrinkage and creep correctly.

Linear logarithmic model for concrete creep : II. Prediction formulas for description of creep behaviour

open access: yes, 2003
A reliable modelling of the young concrete creep behaviour is of great importance for consistent thermal crack risk estimations that shall contribute to assure a desired service lifetime and function of a structure.

Efficacy of Hand Gestures and the Hand as Foot Teaching Method Compared to Traditional Methods in Medical and Dental Education: A Scoping Review

open access: yesJournal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The “Hand‐as‐Foot” teaching method is an innovative, hands‐on approach that uses gesture‐based movements to represent anatomical structures and functions. It has been used successfully in medical education to help simplify and communicate complex ideas. However, its use in dental education remains relatively unexplored.
