Performative Blame Avoidance

open access: yesJournal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sometimes we avoid or minimize criticism for our failings by performing a merely symbolic act aimed at addressing a real or perceived blame allegation. Consider individuals or institutions performing land acknowledgements as a means of box‐ticking inclusion without committing to any significant change. Or consider corporations forming advisory

Evaluation of pier scour reduction using combination of collars, slots and threading method [PDF]

open access: yesمهندسی منابع آب, 2018
The local scour around the piers is an important factor that causes of the destruction of the bridges. Therefore, to avoid this phenomenon there is scientific solutions to protect the pier against scour. some of the most effective techniques you can use ,

Impact of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator modulator therapies on liver stiffness and liver enzymes: An observational perspective single‐center cohort study

open access: yesJPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives The efficacy of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)‐modulator therapies in preventing or ameliorating cystic fibrosis liver disease (CFLD) by correcting CFTR in cholangiocytes is not well‐documented. This study aimed to assess liver function during CFTR‐modulators.

Numerical simulation of scour and flow field around single pier using SSIIM [PDF]

open access: yesمحیط زیست و مهندسی آب, 2016
Estimation of scour depth and understanding the flow field around pier would help to design with safer factor. In this study, we used the numerical model SSIIM as a CFD model to simulate flow and scour pattern simultaneously around single pier. The model

Targeting ligament boundaries rather than alignment boundaries in augmented‐reality‐assisted total knee arthroplasty ensures comparable gait patterns between operated and contralateral limbs

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Modern personalised total knee arthroplasty (TKA) techniques aim to mimic natural knee kinematics by focusing on soft‐tissue dynamics rather than static alignment. However, a consistent definition of the optimal ligamentous balance has not yet been established.

How Servicescapes Come to Feel Like Home: Reciprocal Social Exchange and the Development of Third Place Perceptions

open access: yesPsychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid rising loneliness and declining community participation, service environments have become increasingly important sites of everyday social interaction. Existing research has largely treated Third Place as a property of a space, leaving unexplored how individual customers come to perceive a servicescape as a social home.

Design, Analysis, and Experimental Validation of a Variable‐Gap Magnetorheological Damper for Seat Suspension

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To address the dual challenges of routine driving vibration and impact loads in vehicle seat suspensions, a novel variable‐gap magnetorheological damper (VGMRD) is proposed. By combining a tapered piston with a conformal variable‐diameter cylinder, stroke‐dependent, dual‐mode damping characteristics are achieved without the need for complex ...

The 2‐D Orthogonal Packing Problem With Multiple Levels of Prioritization: A Spatial Optimization Perspective

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper addresses two‐dimensional orthogonal packing within a confined space, integrating bin packing principles with facility layout concepts to address scenarios in which items must not only fit but also be arranged according to spatial priorities.
