Flexural behavior of R.C. columns externally wrapped with FRP sheets

open access: yes, 2012
In the present paper the compressive and flexural behavior of R.C. columns externally wrapped with FRP layers is examined. The investigation refers to a short compressed R.C.

Investigating the efficacy of tidal wetland restoration in enhancing aquatic food web resources for native fishes

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Endangered fish species, such as Delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), in the San Francisco Estuary are threatened by a multitude of anthropogenic stressors. Tidal wetland restoration can partially mitigate these stressors by increasing food availability of aquatic invertebrate prey, but the efficacy of restoration remains ...

Guidelines for handling living biostimulant products for seed treatment

open access: yesAgricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, December 2026.
Living biostimulant products, or biologicals, are marketed to growers for crop enhancement. The handling of these products during preparation likely introduces microbial contamination prior to application, reducing their subsequent efficacy in the field.

Rural but not radical right: The rural‐urban cleavage in Norway

open access: yesScandinavian Political Studies, Volume 49, Issue 4, November 2026.
Abstract Conventional wisdom claims that rural voters are politically mobilized by right‐wing and culturally conservative forces, while urban voters are left‐leaning and have progressive cultural views. Leveraging original survey data from Norway, our work challenges this dichotomy.

Probabilistic assessment of strength and ductility of FRP-confined concrete columns

open access: yes, 2016
Confinement using Fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) significantly improves both the strength and the ductility of reinforced concrete columns. Many analytical models for prediction of strength and ductility of the FRP-confined concrete can be found in the ...

Deformational Behaviour Of FRP Confined Concrete Under Sustained Compression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Confining concrete is an effective method to enhance the strength and ductility of reinforced concrete columns. Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are emerging as a suitable confining material to replace conventional materials such as steel and ...

Essential, Yet Precarious, Mistreated, Sick and Medicalized: A Sequential Explanatory Mixed‐Methods Study on Homecare Aides in Spain

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 69, Issue 10, Page 814-829, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Homecare aides (HCAs) are professional non‐family caregivers, who support dependent individuals to live at home with dignity; yet in Spain they remain understudied and vulnerable, often facing precarious working conditions. We aimed to characterize HCAs’ employment, living conditions, health, and exposure to workplace violence and ...

Infrared Thermographic Assessment of Fatigue Behavior in Bolted Composite Joints

open access: yesFatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 10, Page 4136-4149, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the temperature evolution of bolted thick glass fiber reinforced polymer composites during fatigue testing. Three different adherend thicknesses (8, 10, and 12 mm) and three different bolt tightening torques (30, 40, and 50 N ·m were considered to evaluate the effects of adherend thickness and bolt tightening torque on ...
