Abstract Children and other vulnerable parties such as those with a cognitive, social or communication impairment frequently struggle to understand, and be understood in, the criminal justice environment. One way this has been addressed in jurisdictions around Australia and overseas is through the introduction of intermediary (or communication partner)

Optimum reinforcement design of concrete crossâ€sections considering deformation constraints
The paper concerns the optimum reinforcement design for r/c crossâ€sections through the simultaneous consideration of multiple load cases. The problem is solved by methods of nonâ€linear mathematical programming.

The current code specifies a minimum torsional reinforcement ratio to prevent possible brittle failure after torsional cracking in concrete members. However, since there are many researches, in which even the concrete members with the minimum torsional reinforcement fail to secure sufficient reserved strength after torsional cracking, continuous ...

Influence of shear reinforcement corrosion on the performance of under-reinforced concrete beams [PDF]
The in-service performance of reinforced concrete beams can be severely affected through cor-rosion of the steel reinforcement when it becomes subjected to harsh corrosive environments containing chlo-rides and carbon dioxide.

Photochromic compounds are versatile ingredients for the development of Chemical AI. When they are embedded in a tight microenvironment, they become Markov blankets. They are also valuable for processing Boolean and Fuzzy logic. They contribute to neuromorphic engineering in wetware based on opto‐chemical signals exchanged with oscillatory chemical ...

Shear retrofitting of reinforced concrete beams with steel fiber reinforced concrete
Abstract With the objective of evaluating the performance of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) as a retrofitting material for reinforced concrete beams the experimental study of reinforced concrete beams repaired and strengthened with a SFRC jacketing and tested under shear is presented in this paper. The reinforced concrete beams were designed

Picosecond spin current pulses generated by ferrimagnetic GdCo are studied via THz emission spectroscopy. Due to the GdCo micromagnetic structure, the spin current vanishes at compensation when a magnetic field is applied but persists for zero field. At room temperature, the THz spin current is dominated by Co. At low temperatures, Gd can significantly

EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF WELDED JOINTS OF PRECAST BUILDINGS FOR SHEAR AND TORSION [PDF]
The spatial rigidity and strength of precast multi-story buildings are largely determined by the rigidity of the shear bonds connecting the vertical load-bearing reinforced concrete structures.

AbstractIn the course of their service period, concrete structures are exposed to a variety of impacts. A combination of exposure to aggressive effects, poorly constructed structural details, negligence of the durability issues, construction errors and underestimation of the importance of maintenance can lead to a severe damage of reinforced concrete ...

The Global Warming Potential of Geoengineering via Radiative Cooling
The cooling power of engineered radiative cooling materials is determined and compared to conventional construction and roofing materials and Earth's natural surfaces. Results show if 1% of Earth's surface are to be covered with state‐of‐the‐art radiative cooling materials the terrestrial radiative forcing would decrease by 1.61 W·m−2 (from 0.6 to −1 ...
