A Bioinspired Underwater Soft Robot for Active Intravesical Liquid Delivery and Mixing
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A bioinspired underwater soft robot is reported that integrates an elastic strain energy‐driven soft robotic pump with a programmable flexible magnetic valve, enabling remotely controlled, programmable, and sustained liquid release and mixing. This functionality is enabled by the synergistic integration of elastic strain energy‐driven pumping and ...

A Comparison of Frailty Indices in Predicting Postoperative Outcomes After Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective To compare the discriminatory performance of the Risk Analysis Index (RAI) and modified Frailty Index‐5 (mFI‐5) in predicting postoperative outcomes following endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Methods Adult ESS patients were identified from the ACS‐NSQIP database (2005–2020).

EFFECT OF VARIATION OF PLASTIC HINGE LENGTH ON THE RESULTS OF NON-LINEAR ANALYSIS
International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology, 2013 The nonlinear Static procedure also well known as pushover analysis is method where in monotonically increasing loads are applied to the structure till the structure is unable to resist any further load. It is a popular tool for seismic performance evaluation of existing and new structures.

Seismic strategy of non-seismically designed reinforced concrete columns retrofitted with steel rods
Scientific ReportsThis paper presents experimental results of combined cyclic load testing on a reinforced concrete (RC) column that was retrofitted with newly designed steel rods. The steel rods were installed around the column longitudinally and then anchored.

The 9+ month marathon: How pregnancy may have shaped human endurance capacities
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Anthropology has long considered the evolution of our uniquely human endurance capacities to be the result of selection upon anatomical and physiological features imposed by the demands of thermoregulation and resource acquisition, particularly during the demands of persistence hunting. Research has focused on the anatomical changes present in

Bite force estimates and morphological correlations of jaw muscles in parrots
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Parrots (Order: Psittaciformes) are renowned for their high bite force (BF) and morphological correlates thereof, including a highly mobile skull and two unique mandibular adductor muscles—m. pseudomasseter and m. ethmomandibularis, with the former being hypothesized to increase force output.

Evaluation of In‐Ground Plastic‐Hinge Length and Depth for Piles in Marine Oil Terminals
Earthquake Spectra, 2015 This investigation evaluated the current recommendations for plastic‐hinge length and depth for piles in marine oil terminals considering nonlinear pile and soil behavior, as well as two seismic design levels: Level 1 and Level 2. It was found that the plastic‐hinge length depends on seismic design level, whereas depth is independent of seismic design ...

Evaluation of plastic hinge length in RC shear wall connected with floor slabs
Discover Civil EngineeringAbstractTraditionally, seismic design focuses on inelastic behavior at the base of isolated shear walls. Yet, in multistoried RC wall-frame buildings with interconnected shear walls and floor slabs, significant inelasticity occurs at wall-slab junctions. This interaction greatly enhances the structure's seismic capacity.
