Mechanics‐based model for cold joints in reinforced concrete members

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study introduces a mechanics‐based numerical model to characterize the behavior of cold joints in reinforced concrete members subjected to monotonic loading. The model incorporates mechanisms such as interface slip and opening, aggregate interlock, clamping force, and dowel action of the reinforcing bars crossing the interface.

Numerical Investigation of Local Scour Around Bridge Pile-Group Foundations Under Steady Flows

Infrastructures
Local scour around pile-group foundations is a predominant cause of hydraulic instability in bridge engineering. This study employs a fully coupled three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model to investigate local scour around a 2 × 2 inline pile

‘Knowledge, attitudes and practices’ survey of Austrian veterinarians' antibiotic use in clinical practice

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical global health issue, with antimicrobial use (AMU) in veterinary medicine playing a relevant role in its emergence. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and practices of Austrian veterinarians regarding AMU and AMR.

“For three of my four miscarriages I was at work…” Experiences of miscarriage, infertility and assisted fertility in veterinary workplaces

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Miscarriage, infertility and assisted fertility (MIAF) can profoundly impact physical and mental health. The aims of this study were to investigate how veterinary professionals’ work environments and employers impacted their experiences of MIAF and to identify how workplace experiences of MIAF could be improved.

Clinical Recommendations for Remote Robotic Assisted Surgery From the CRSA 2025 International Consensus Conference

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Implementation of remote robotic‐assisted surgery (rRAS) has the potential to significantly improve access to high‐quality surgical care for patients worldwide. Advances in robotic systems and telecommunications now enable highly reliable, low latency, and cybersecure connectivity. These technological developments, together with the broader adoption of

Assessing the Burden of Operatively Managed Extremity Fractures in Malawi: A Tale of Two Tertiary Hospitals

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) account for 90% of all deaths from injury globally, yet health systems remain poorly equipped to manage the escalating trauma burden. This study highlights a critical and escalating operative trauma burden in Malawi, driven largely by road traffic injuries, particularly motorcycle taxis.

Numerical Modeling of Vegetation Influence on Tsunami-Induced Scour Mechanisms

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Tsunami-induced scour around coastal embankments and nearshore structures is a primary cause of structural instability and failure. However, the hydrodynamic mechanisms by which coastal vegetation mitigates this scour remain insufficiently understood ...

Wildlife temporal behaviors in response to human activity changes during and following COVID‐19 park closures

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
With urbanization reducing the amount of available wildlife habitat, and outdoor recreation increasing the human activity within wildlife habitats, it is important to understand the effects of human activity on animal behavior. This study examined how the reduction in human presence in urban parks in Gainesville, Florida, affected the temporal ...

SCOUR NEAR SPILL-THROUGH TYPE ABUTMENT ON CLEAR-WATER SCOUR CONDITION FOR MULTI-SECTION CHANNELS

Journal of Civil Engineering
Scour is a natural phenomenon caused by erosion due to water flow on the alluvial channel bed and channel wall. In fact, scour happened in the bridge abutment is total scour, that is a combination between local scour, general scour, and constriction ...

Human‐Caused Leopard Deaths in Sri Lanka Are Concentrated in Central Highlands' Estate Mosaics: Evidence From 17 Years of Mortality Records 人为因素导致斯里兰卡豹死亡事件集中于中部高地种植园镶嵌景观:来自 17 年死亡记录的证据

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Human‐caused leopard deaths in Sri Lanka averaged 9.65 ± 4.5 records year−1 over 17 years (2008–2024; n = 164), with records highly clustered in the central highland mosaic ecosystem. Mortality was dominated by adult males and driven primarily by snaring in plantation landscapes, and indicating an increase approximately 0.7–0.8 deaths per year.
