Evaluations of the effectiveness of the near‐surface mounted steel materials in strengthening short RC wall‐like columns with openings

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In practice, reinforced concrete (RC) wall‐like columns often have openings to facilitate building services, which creates stress concentrations around the opening, resulting in the weakening of their load‐carrying capacity. This study proposes innovative strengthening methods using near‐surface mounted (NSM) incorporating steel materials to ...

Torsional Strengthening of RC Beams with Near-Surface Mounted Steel Bars

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
The strength of reinforced concrete members can be enhanced by using the externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) and near-surface mounted (NSM) methods. However, very few studies have adopted the NSM method for torsional strengthening.

Endoscope‐Assisted Nipple‐Sparing Mastectomy With Immediate Implant Reconstruction: A Retrospective Study

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Breast cancer surgery increasingly favors nipple‐sparing and endoscopic techniques to optimize oncological safety, cosmetic outcomes, and patient satisfaction. We aimed to evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy and postoperative safety profiles of endoscope‐assisted and conventional open approaches for nipple‐sparing mastectomy with immediate ...

Saving Bambi from the mower? Using a drone with thermal camera to evaluate a low‐tech scaring technique to reduce roe deer fawn mortality during grass harvest

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Roe deer is a species that hides their neonates as an anti‐predator strategy. This may prove efficient against mammalian predators, such as the red fox; however, it might be an ecological trap as large numbers of fawns are killed by tractors with harvesters each year during grass harvest.

3D‐printed model for resection of positive surgical margins in robot‐assisted prostatectomy

BJU International, Volume 135, Issue 4, Page 657-667, April 2025.
Objectives To improve precision of secondary resection (SR) after positive surgical margin (PSM) detection by frozen section (FS) during nerve‐sparing (NS) robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) by employing a personalised three‐dimensional (3D)‐printed prostate model derived from pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Two-neutrino double electron capture on $^{124}$Xe based on an effective theory and the nuclear shell model

, 2018
We study the two-neutrino double electron capture on $^{124}$Xe based on an effective theory (ET) and large-scale shell model calculations, two modern nuclear structure approaches that have been tested against Gamow-Teller and double-beta decay data.

Impact of positive surgical margins on biochemical recurrence and metastases after radical prostatectomy

BJU International, EarlyView.
Objectives To evaluate the impact of the presence, extent and location of positive surgical margins (PSMs) on the risk of biochemical recurrence (BCR) and metastases in a nationwide cohort of patients who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) and had 5 years of follow‐up.
