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

open access: yesJournal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
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

Epigenetic Regulation in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The aim of this narrative literature review was to identify epigenetic marks associated with periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. The literature was reviewed based on pre‐defined criteria. Cell type specific chromatin and mRNA modifications were included.

Experimental Campaign Addressing Lap-Splices under Cyclic Loading [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Many existing bridges were built before modern seismic design guidelines were written. This means that particularly in countries with moderate seismicity where another type of loads such as gravity, wind or snow are more demanding, the seismic hazard may

Bond strength of lap spliced steel bars in RC beams strengthened with low-cost natural FRP composites: Experimental and theoretical study

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials
Natural FRPs have proven their prospective in enhancing the compressive behavior of concrete. However, their effectiveness in preventing brittle steel lap splice failure has not been investigated. This study utilizes low-cost hemp and cotton eco-friendly

A Study on the Design of the Top Flange of a Modular T-Girder Bridge Using the Limit State Design Method

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2016
This study involved applying a design code change on a modular bridge design. The top flange of a modular T-girder bridge was examined by the Korean Highway Bridge Design Code Limit State Design (2015) and was compared with the Korean Highway Bridge ...

THE FATHERS, COMPUTERS AND US

open access: yesModern 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 ...

Charting New Paths in the Study of Kin Term Acquisition

open access: yesTopics 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.

Damage tolerant wing-fuselage integration structural design applicable to future BWB transport aircraft [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Wing joint design is one of the most critical areas in aircraft structures. Efficient and damage tolerant wing-fuselage integration structure, applicable to the next generation of transport aircraft, will facilitate the realisation of the benefits ...

Electromechanical behaviour of REBCO tape lap splices under transverse compressive loading

open access: yes, 2016
We have studied the influence of transverse compressive stress on the resistance and critical current (Ic) of soldered REBCO tape lap splices. Internal contact resistances dominate the overall REBCO lap splice resistances.

Splicing behaviour of GFRP, BFRP, and steel bars in reinforced concrete beams

open access: yesDiscover Applied Sciences
Fiber-reinforced-polymers (FRPs) have gained popularity as a substitute for conventional steel bars in reinforced concrete, yet there remain specific knowledge gaps in the behavior of lap-spliced glass and basalt bars.
