Performance of Shear Reinforcement against Punching Shear Loads

International Journal of Engineering and Advanced Technology, 2019
This research targets to maximize the ductility and strength of the reinforced concrete flat slabs. However, to be efficient, the shear reinforcement must be anchored well in the tension and compression zones of the slab. The test results on the slab-column connection models which provided with shear reinforcement are introduced in this study.

Cuttings, Combings, Fettlings and Flock: Gender and Australian Wool ‘Waste’, 1900–1950

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As Australia's wool industry produced vast amounts of fine fleece from the nineteenth century, the wool processing and clothes manufacturing industries generated waste – products like cuttings, combings, fettlings and flock. Salvaged and then sold to waste merchants, these and other materials had a second life.

Experimental Study of Punching Shear on Reinforced Concrete Waffle Slabs Strengthened by CFRP Sheets

Tikrit Journal of Engineering Sciences
For the last five decades, researchers have been studying the punching shear of two-way reinforced slabs at column supports in structural testing laboratories. Limited tests are available on retrofitted waffle slab punching behavior. These are necessary

Identification of Autologous Tissue Sources and Optimization of a Treatment Method for Intraoperative Manufacturing of Heart Valve Constructs

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
The use of autologous connective tissue, such as pericardium or peritoneum, combined with controlled tissue treatment, has the potential to result in a more durable heart valve prosthesis than current commercial prostheses. ABSTRACT Introduction Valvular heart disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Current biological and mechanical

Punching shear behavior of steel fiber‐reinforced slabs with Filigran® punching shear reinforcement

Structural Concrete
AbstractFor strengthening punching shear endangered areas, both (1) punching shear reinforcement such as stirrups, headed studs or lattice girders and (2) the use of steel fiber‐reinforced concrete (SFRC) have been investigated and applied for many years.

‘Be There, Listen, See What It Is They Need’: Fathers' Roles in Supporting Black Mothers During Pregnancy

Child &Family Social Work, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is a critical public health crisis regarding the infant mortality rate between black and white mothers in the USA. This issue is more pronounced in North Carolina, where black infants have a much higher infant mortality rate than whites.

Disposable negative pressure wound therapy system enhances punch graft acceptance in equine distal limb wounds

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary This case series describes the use of a disposable, canister‐free negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) system (PICO®) in combination with punch grafting for the treatment of distal limb wounds in three horses. Each horse presented with complex traumatic injuries resulting in delayed or inadequate healing of distal limb wounds.

Extracellular fluid viscosity influences the mechanics and migration of MDA‐MB‐231 cells in a macromolecule‐dependent manner

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Macromolecule‐dependent increases in extracellular fluid viscosity alter cell phenotype. These distinct macromolecules create different extracellular environments that modulate cell morphology and mechanoprotein expression, migration and invasion capacity, and cellular mechanical properties.
