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

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
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
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
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]
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 ...

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
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 ...
