The Flexural Ductility Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Tension Lap Splices Exposed to Fire

Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering, 2018
Based on a comprehensive review of both previous studies and implemented practices in the field of construction structures, it’s obvious that reinforcing steel bar’s length is limited.

THE FATHERS, COMPUTERS AND US

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract This essay, designed as a complement to opinions expressed by Rowan Williams and some speakers at the conference in his honour, explores features of early Christianity which suggest a positive evaluation of artificial intelligence. Noting that the fear of reducing humans to machines has been joined in the modern age by the fear that machines ...

Experimental Investigation of Concrete Beams with Novel Parallel-Lap Reinforcement Under Flexure

Buildings
To address the technical challenges associated with complex connection configurations and excessively long lap zones in the industrialized and prefabricated construction of reinforcements, this study proposes a novel parallel-lap splice that incorporates

Charting New Paths in the Study of Kin Term Acquisition

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Kin terms appear among infants’ earliest words, yet a full mastery of kin concepts typically emerges only in late childhood. This prolonged developmental trajectory reflects not only children's acquisition of an abstract relational system of words, but also their growing understanding of social relationships and interactional norms.

Move and Play Programme: Perceptions of Paediatric Physiotherapists and Parents of Infants

Child: Care, Health and Development, Volume 52, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Educational videos can improve parent engagement in early childhood development. For widespread adoption, these videos need to be practical and of high quality. This study evaluated how paediatric physiotherapists and parents perceived the educational videos of the ‘Move and Play Programme’.

Organizational Soundscapes and the Sonicity of Voices: The Power of the ‘Sounds’ that Carry ‘Words’

Journal of Management Studies, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 2305-2331, September 2026.
Abstract Organizations are soundscapes – they resonate with sounds and particularly the sounds of voices. Somehow however voice sonics, that is the sounds of voices and not the words carried on those sounds, have escaped attention in management studies. This absence of analysis is peculiar given voice sonics' undoubted influence on management (they may

Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, Complications, Diagnosis, Management, and Emerging Fibrosis‐Linked Remodeling

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent upper‐airway collapse, which generates key nocturnal stressors including intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation, intrathoracic pressure stress, and sympathetic activation. These physiological disturbances converge on shared biological mechanisms, including oxidative stress, inflammation ...

Optimization of lap splice positions for near-zero rebar cutting waste in diaphragm walls using special-length-priority algorithms

Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering
Construction processes often result in rebar waste when cutting stock length rebar to required length, incurring significant costs and contributing to CO2 emissions.

Mussel Spermatozoa Express a Specific Isoform of the Catalytic Subunit of cAMP‐Dependent Protein Kinase

Molecular Reproduction and Development, Volume 93, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT cAMP‐dependent protein kinase (PKA) plays a central role in regulating sperm motility in both invertebrates and mammals. The sea mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis provides a valuable model for investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying gamete activation in externally fertilizing organisms.
