Bond of NSM FRP-Strengthened Concrete: Round Robin Test Initiative [PDF]

Journal of Composites for Construction, 2016
AbstractDespite the extensive research on the debonding behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening systems, no standard methodology has been established on its experimental characterization. To assess the performance and reliability of small-scale testing on near-surface mounted (NSM) FRP strengthening systems, an experimental program was

Data‐driven simulation of crude distillation using Aspen HYSYS and comparative machine learning models

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Integrated Aspen HYSYS–machine learning framework for predicting product yields and quality variables. Abstract Crude oil refining is a complex process requiring precise modelling to optimize yield, quality, and efficiency. This study integrates Aspen HYSYS® simulations with machine learning techniques to develop predictive models for key refinery ...

Influence of Stirrup Spacing on the Strengthening and Rehabilitating of RC T-beams Using Near-Surface Mounted Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Strips

Fibers, 2022
This paper aims to investigate the effect of using different configurations of near-surface mounted carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (NSM-CFRP) strips on the shear strength of strengthened and rehabilitated reinforced concrete (RC) T-beams with different ...

Citizenship education and gender equality: A critique of action plans in Greek secondary schools

The Curriculum Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In the sociology of education, gender education follows current policies developed and promoted through citizenship education. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations addressing global social inequalities include gender equality (SDG 5).

Bond shear stress-slip relationships for FRP-NSM systems at elevated temperature [PDF]

, 2017
In the last years Near Surface Mounted (NSM) reinforcement has mainly been applied at ambient temperature, to strengthen reinforced concrete (RC) beams with FRP (fibre reinforced polymer) materials.

Simulating Neutron Star Mergers as r-process Sources in Ultra Faint Dwarf Galaxies

, 2017
To explain the high observed abundances of r-process elements in local ultra- faint dwarf (UFD) galaxies, we perform cosmological zoom simulations that include r-process production from neutron star mergers (NSMs).

The β integrin modulates serotonin sensitivity via NPxY motifs to regulate egg laying and mechanosensation behaviors in Caenorhabditis elegans

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Integrin is an αβ heterodimeric receptor to the extracellular matrix; its binding to the matrix recruits focal adhesions to two NPxY motifs, the tyrosine phosphorylation sites in the cytoplasmic domain. Studies found that replacing tyrosines (Y) with phenylalanines (F) in the motif of β1 integrin displayed little developmental or ...

Bond between glulam and NSM CFRP laminates [PDF]

Construction and Building Materials, 2013
Abstract With the aim of evaluating the bond behaviour between glulam and carbon fibre reinforced polymer laminates strips, an experimental program using pull-out tests was carried, when the near-surface strengthening technique is applied. Two main variables were studied: the bond length and the type of pull-out test configuration.

Inherent Weight Normalization in Stochastic Neural Networks [PDF]

, 2019
Multiplicative stochasticity such as Dropout improves the robustness and generalizability of deep neural networks. Here, we further demonstrate that always-on multiplicative stochasticity combined with simple threshold neurons are sufficient operations ...

Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay, the Inverted Hierarchy and Precision Determination of theta(12) [PDF]

, 2011
Ruling out the inverted neutrino hierarchy with neutrinoless double beta decay experiments is possible if a limit on the effective mass below the minimal theoretically possible value is reached.
