Soil-Structure Interaction Issues in Integral Abutment Bridges
Transportation GeotechnicsIntegral Abutment Bridges (IABs) are constructed without expansion joints and bearings, connecting the bridge deck monolithically to the end abutments. Therefore, the construction and maintenance costs of IABs are low compared to conventional bridges with bearings and joints.

Non‐linear analysis of an integral bridge
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2010 This study describes the implementation of a 2‐D finite element model of an integral abutment bridge (IAB) system which explicitly incorporates the nonlinear soil response.

Analysis of numerical models of an integral bridge resting on an elastic half-space
Studia Geotechnica et MechanicaThe paper presents three methods of the numerical modeling of a 60 m long integral bridge structure resting on an elastic half-space. For the analysis, three bridge models were built using Abaqus FEA software.

Patient Experience of Undergoing MRI With a New Active Transcutaneous Bone‐Anchored Hearing Implant
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Active transcutaneous bone‐anchored hearing implants belong to a class of devices that may pose challenges in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) settings. In this prospective study, all MRI scans in patients (n = 15) with the Sentio Ti implant were completed without complications, and patients reported generally positive experiences with low levels of ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In Kelantan, entrenched land degradation and extensive idling of agricultural lands exacerbate rural poverty. Current top‐down planning often overlooks local geographic and social constraints, despite state initiatives to convert idle lands and strengthen rural livelihoods.

Targeted Muscle Reinnervation for Intuitive Prosthetic Control
Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The convergence of medical and technological advances has led to a substantial expansion of therapeutic approaches for patients with limb amputations. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is one of the strategies to improve control of bionic arms and has been applied for more than two decades. Through surgical rewiring of the nerves responsible

Seismic evaluation of the southbound Stellenberg Interchange Bridge, B5593, in South Africa
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study presents a nonlinear finite element assessment of the seismic vulnerability of Bridge B5593, located in the south‐western region of South Africa. Previous evaluations identified a high likelihood of column failure; however, these were based on linear material models incapable of capturing damage evolution.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Several test methods have been proposed in the literature for measuring the level of residual prestress, most of them involving either semi‐ or fully destructive techniques for local measurements which could be highly sensitive to boundary conditions and execution details.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review
VIEW, EarlyView.Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.
