MIT/TFE family transcription factors, Mitf and Tfec, redundantly promote pigment cell differentiation and retinal epithelium pigmentation in teleosts

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Transcription factors of the MIT/TFE family—mitfa, mitfb, and tfec—play essential roles in specifying pigment cells derived from neural crest cells in vertebrates. In teleosts, which possess multiple pigment cell types, these factors exhibit partially redundant but largely distinct functions across different pigment lineages.

Examination of influential factors on shear strength of externally bonded FRP reinforcement in RC beams

open access: yesJournal of Materials and Engineering Structures, 2020
The fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) retrofitting technique has been increasingly created to enhance the capacity of the existing concrete members. In this study, the shear contribution of the external FRP strengthening system in the reinforced concrete ...

FRP Strains in FRP Wrapped Columns

open access: yes, 2007
Extensive research has been undertaken on strengthening concrete columns using FRP wraps. Recent research has extended this technique into strengthening steel tubular and concrete filled steel tubular columns. The behaviour of FRP confined concrete columns is now well understood and accurate models for both design and analysis are available.

Effects of existing cracks on FRP-to-concrete interfacial behavior

open access: yes, 2017
The concrete structures which need to be strengthened by externally bonded (EB) FRP normally have existing cracks. In order to study the effects of the existing cracks on the bond slip relationship, an experimental program of single shear pull-out tests ...

Mechanical Behaviour of Vacuum‐Infused GFRP Composites at Elevated Temperatures—Influence of Fibre Architecture

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the influence of fibre architecture on the mechanical properties of vacuum‐infused glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites at elevated temperatures (ET). Laminates with three different fibre configurations—unidirectional (UD), bidirectional 0°/90° cross‐ply (BD), and ±45° off‐axis angle‐ply (OA) – were tested in ...

Shear performance of existing reinforced concrete T-beams strengthened with FRP

open access: yes, 2012
This paper presents the experimental behaviour of two reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in shear with C-FRP. The beams are extracted from an important building of the '30s in Rome.

Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of obstetrics residents towards cesarean delivery–sparing procedures

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Obstetrics and gynecology (ObGyn) trainees will impact future practice patterns and their cesarean rates. The knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of ObGyn residents have not been extensively studied. We aimed to assess KAP towards mode of delivery and cesarean‐sparing procedures among ObGyn trainees.

Damage-Based Seismic Retrofitting Approach for Nonductile Reinforced Concrete Structures Using FRP Composite Wraps

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2020
Applying similar amount of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) for all plastic hinge locations in a structure is not an ideal approach as damage occurring at these critical locations may vary considerably.

Numerical modeling of existing RC beams strengthened in shear with FRP U-sheets

open access: yes, 2012
This paper presents a finite element analysis on two reinforced concrete beams, extracted from an important building of the '30s in Rome, strengthened in shear with C-FRP and subjected to the simultaneous occurrence of a negative bending moment and shear

Experimental study on Carbon FRP-confined elliptical concrete columns [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
It is well recognized that the technique of strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jackets is more effective for circular sections, but less effective for rectangular sections.
