Influence of natural fibers on physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined the influence of natural fibers on the physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete, in comparison with conventional polypropylene fibers used in cement composites. The fibers were characterized by FTIR and TGA/DSC to assess their composition and thermal stability, and FTIR was also performed after ...

Effective axial strength of laterally strengthened RC pier heads with post‐tensioning method

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the structural performance enhancement of reinforced concrete (RC) pier heads laterally strengthened with unbonded post‐tensioning (PT) to accommodate increased design loads following a deck replacement of an existing railway bridge.

Pickin' up good vibrations: a systematic review of footfall detection and analysis in the realm of wildlife surveying

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Exploration of new wildlife surveying methodologies that leverage advances in sensor technology and machine learning has led to tentative research into the application of seismology techniques. This, most commonly, involves the deployment of a footfall trap – a seismic sensor and data logger customised for wildlife footfall.

Full Waveform Inversion of Irregularly Sampled Passive Seismic Data Based on Robust Multi-Dimensional Deconvolution

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Full waveform inversion (FWI) comprehensively utilizes phase and amplitude information of seismic waves to obtain high-resolution subsurface medium parameter models, applicable to both active-source and passive-source seismic data. Passive-source seismic

Wavefront sensing at a high‐repetition‐rate X‐ray free‐electron laser

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
We demonstrate a fast, robust and sensor‐free approach to X‐ray speckle tracking that enables shot‐to‐shot wavefront characterization at high‐repetition‐rate X‐ray free‐electron lasers. Our measurements reveal a hierarchy of wavefront fluctuations indicative of instabilities in the accelerator and beamline optics at the European XFEL.Wavefront ...

Syphilis and ‘Sons of Empire’: The ‘Prostitute’ and Britain's Fighting Arm in Nineteenth ̵ Century Colonial Punjab

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The British army in India took great care to provide European troops with facilities for sexual relations while anxiously managing venereal disease. Examining archival evidence, political debates and medical discourse from the nineteenth century, this article examines the colonial military enterprise of regulated prostitution in colonial ...

Passive seismic interferometry by multidimensional deconvolution

Geophysics, 2008
Abstract We introduce seismic interferometry of passive data by multidimensional deconvolution (MDD) as an alternative to the crosscorrelation method. Interferometry by MDD has the potential to correct for the effects of source irregularity, assuming the first arrival can be separated from the full response. MDD applications can range

Significant Far‐Right Challenges to Australian Society? The XYZ and AustraliaOne

Australian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Scholars who analyse the Australian far‐right from a criminological or security studies perspective propose that activists and groups pose ‘political’ challenges to Australian society. This paper examines the far‐right news website The XYZ and the AustraliaOne political party, and argues that claims that the far‐right may normalise ...

Multi-Method and Multi-Depth Geophysical Data Integration for Archaeological Investigations: First Results from the Greek City of Gela (Sicily, Italy)

Remote Sensing
Geophysical techniques are a core toolkit of modern archeology, thanks to their effectiveness in reconstructing important pieces of evidence for buried ruins, which are relics of the past usage of an inspected site.

Numerical Method for Computing Seismic Slip-Line Fields and Earth Pressure Coefficients in Cohesionless Backfills [PDF]

Lithosphere
This study introduced a novel numerical method for calculating seismic slip-line fields and earth pressure coefficients in cohesionless backfills with an inclined and rough retaining wall. By integrating the triangular slice method with the pseudo-static
