Ecological niche modeling reveals habitat differentiation and climatic vulnerability in two imperiled, sympatric southern Appalachian carnivorous plants

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Understanding the habitat requirements of imperiled flora is critical for informing ex situ conservation practices, designing effective reintroduction strategies, and understanding how climate change will impact such species, especially in montane regions with high levels of environmental heterogeneity. In southern Appalachia, USA, the

Residual ultimate strength of a very large crude carrier considering probabilistic damage extents

International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2014
This paper provides the prediction of ultimate longitudinal strengths of the hull girders of a very large crude carrier considering probabilistic damage extent due to collision and grounding accidents based on IMO Guidelines (2003).

Effect of the steel material variability on the seismic capacity design of steel-concrete composite structures : a parametric study [PDF]

, 2013
International audienceModern seismic codes recommend the design of ductile structures able to absorb seismic energy through high plastic deformation. Since seismic ductile design relies on an accurate control of plastic hinges formation, which mainly ...

Sustaining Circular Innovation Under Volatile Market Conditions: The Critical Role of Industry Platforms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While industry platforms are widely recognized as enablers of circular innovation, we still know little about how they evolve to scale and sustain innovation as economic conditions tighten and circular economy funding schemes become more selective.

Premature destruction of two-span RC beams exposed to high temperature caused by a redistribution of shear forces

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2017
When multi-span RC elements are exposed to fire one usually observes a yielding of span cross-sections while a safety reserve of support cross-sections is still significant. Due to this phenomenon a redistribution of bending moments occurs and the values

Macronutrient and micronutrient profiles of meat types: insights into human health and diet

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite considerable advances in global health and nutrition, emerging challenges such as population growth, climate change, and limited natural resources continue to threaten food security. Meat remains an essential component of the human diet, supplying high‐quality proteins, essential amino acids, lipids, vitamins, and minerals necessary ...

Ductility of continuous RC beams strengthened with partially bonded near-surface mounted CFRP bars

Journal of King Saud University: Engineering Sciences
Carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) rods have been implemented for repair and strengthening work in several applications for reinforced concrete (RC) elements. The linear brittle behavior of these composite materials can be an excessive limitation for
