Through the Thicket and Across the Divide:Successfully Navigating the Regulatory Landscape in Life Sciences Research [PDF]
, 2013 This chapter addresses the considerable problems that arise within and between regulatory regimes when there is a failure to implement intelligent design that is responsive to the realities of life sciences research.

Progressive Collapse and Robustness Analysis of Multi-Story Reinforced Concrete Structures
Engineering ProceedingsProgressive collapse is a critical structural phenomenon where local damage triggers a chain reaction and potentially leads to disproportionate failure of the entire system.

Progressive Collapse and Robustness Analysis of Multi-Story Steel Structures
Engineering ProceedingsDetermining the damage mechanisms of structures that have suffered partial or total collapse under the influence of an earthquake contributes to revealing the causes of damage and taking the necessary precautions.

Genetics and insurance in the United Kingdom 1995-2010: the rise and fall of scientific discrimination [PDF]
, 2012 Around the millennium there was extensive debate in the United Kingdom of the possible use of predictive genetic tests by insurance companies. Many insurance experts, geneticists and public policymakers appeared to believe that genetic test results would

Dynamic increase factor in reinforced concrete frames under disproportionate collapse [PDF]
Under a disproportionate collapse, the sudden loss of a support causes a dynamic response that can amplify the internal forces in the surrounding members and lead to significant global damage.

Effects of changing permafrost and snow conditions on tundra wildlife: critical places and times
Arctic Science, 2017 The change of water phase around 0 °C has considerable impacts on wildlife ecology because liquid and solid water strongly differ in their insulating capability, mechanical resistance, and light reflectance.

Dynamic Response of Bowstring-arch Highway Bridge Subjected to Above and Below Deck Close-range Large Explosion [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesExplosion incidents that are unforeseen can lead to the occurrence of extreme loads, resulting in the generation of remarkably high stress levels within the materials comprising various structures.

Formation of Early Water Oceans on Rocky Planets [PDF]
, 2010 Terrestrial planets, with silicate mantles and metallic cores, are likely to obtain water and carbon compounds during accretion. Here I examine the conditions that allow early formation of a surface water ocean (simultaneous with cooling to clement ...

Plastic disproportionate collapse at lost corner columns [PDF]
Magazine of Concrete Research, 2009 This paper deploys an existing method for the simple rigid-plastic hand calculation of slab yield-line mechanisms to address the wider problem of disproportionate collapse at lost columns in multi-storey buildings. Floor systems will be treated as grillages combining torsion-free (Hillerborg) slabs and torsion-free beams.
