Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The use of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in precast tunnel segments is among the most established and representative applications of this material. Over the past two decades, numerous tunnel linings were constructed with partial or total substitution of conventional steel reinforcement by fibers, this yielding to quantifiable benefits in ...

Tree cover and geographic origin of tree species drive bird functional groups in urban environments
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Urban trees provide habitat and resources for wild species in cities and support biodiversity provision of ecosystem services, among which insect control is particularly relevant. Predators of insects are promoted by the presence of trees and, in turn, may enhance biosecurity of the trees.

Surface Micro‐Discharge Plasma for Multiple Teeth Bleaching: Efficacy, Mechanism and Safety
High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the commonly‐used bleaching chemical in clinical practice, but its excessive concentrations can cause tooth damage. Atmospheric pressure cold plasma is considered a promising new technique for tooth bleaching. Surface micro‐discharge (SMD) devices can generate large‐scale plasma, which holds potential for treating ...

Forces Behind South Australia's Unusual Structural Changes Since 1840
Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The agricultural sector's share of GDP in growing economies typically declines but, for a century from the early 1850s, Australia's did not. That trend is most evident for the former colony and now State of South Australia (SA). Moreover, that share for SA has been almost flat since 1980 as well, along with the agricultural sector's share of ...

Politics of knowledge and policy uptake
Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.Abstract This paper explores the intersection of knowledge politics and policy uptake, drawing on over a decade of collaborative work between the authors at the Tangentyere Council Research Hub. The authors, representing different knowledge systems, have developed a practice that respects both political and epistemic dimensions of their work.
