Review and improvement of stress-strain models for FRP-confined concrete [PDF]

Numerical Methods in Civil Engineering
The cyclic stress-strain behavior of FRP-confined concrete columns is a key aspect of their performance, particularly in the context of seismic retrofitting and design.

The genus Borrelia reloaded

PLOS ONE, 2018
The genus Borrelia, originally described by Swellengrebel in 1907, contains tick- or louse-transmitted spirochetes belonging to the relapsing fever (RF) group of spirochetes, the Lyme borreliosis (LB) group of spirochetes and spirochetes that form intermittent clades.

Thermal persistence and physicochemical modification of inorganic gunshot residue (IGSR)

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract In the medicolegal context, GSR analysis plays a key role in clarifying the dynamics of firearm‐related deaths, including lesion identification and firing distance determination. However, postmortem alterations of the body, such as thermal exposure, may influence the analysis of lesions and complicate interpretation.

Reloading mechanized tree planting devices faster using a seedling tray carousel

Silva Fennica, 2014
On Nordic clearcuts, today’s tree planting machines produce high-quality but costly regenerations. Much of this high cost is attributable to the planting machines’ low productivity.

What political theory can learn from conceptual engineering: The case of “corruption”

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Conceptual change is commonplace in political theory. Recent scholarship argues that improving a concept, or “engineering” it, can sharpen its normative and explanatory power. This article illustrates what political theory can learn from conceptual engineering (CE) by examining the evolution of “corruption” as a case study.

Complex strain paths in polycrystalline copper: microstructural aspects

Materials Research, 1999
Microstructural aspects of polycrystalline copper sheets subjected to complex strain paths were analysed in this work. Dislocation structures developed during the strain paths (rolling and tension) and the evolution of this microstructure during ...

Heart Donation After Controlled Circulatory Death in Noncardiac Surgery Hospitals With a Mobile Heart Team: A Case Series From an Italian Regional Program and Integrated Review of the Literature

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
In this series of 19 DCD donors using TA‐NRP, 89.5% of hearts were successfully transplanted with no PGD, no postoperative ECMO, and no 30‐day mortality, demonstrating the feasibility and safety of this approach. ABSTRACT Controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) with thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (TA‐NRP) has emerged ...

Shear behavior of the steel pipe–cemented soil interface in stiffened deep cement mixing piles under short-term repeated monotonic loading

KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering
Steel pipe–cemented soil composite piles are increasingly used as temporary bracing members in excavation support in soft-soil areas, but their interface behavior under short-term monotonic repeated loading remains unclear.

Fine’s McTaggart: Reloaded [PDF]

Manuscrito, 2017
ABSTRACT In this paper I will present three arguments (based on the notions of constitution, metaphysical reality, and truth, respectively) with the aim of shedding some new light on the structure of Fine’s (2005, 2006) ‘McTaggartian’ arguments against the reality of tense.
