Performance enhancement of reinforced concrete columns using stainless steel and galvanized steel plates: Experimental and numerical investigation

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study introduces an innovative approach to strengthening defected reinforced concrete (RC) columns using externally bonded stainless steel and galvanized steel plates. Unlike conventional strengthening methods, this technique replaces traditional transverse stirrups with steel sheets, providing enhanced confinement and ductility.

Mechanics‐based model for cold joints in reinforced concrete members

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study introduces a mechanics‐based numerical model to characterize the behavior of cold joints in reinforced concrete members subjected to monotonic loading. The model incorporates mechanisms such as interface slip and opening, aggregate interlock, clamping force, and dowel action of the reinforcing bars crossing the interface.

Embedded Interactions and Selective Disclosure: Network Effects on Conversations aboard Skylab

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
How do absent others influence our interactions? We argue in this paper that interactions are embedded within networks formed by chains of specific relationships between known third parties. The anticipation of future interactions with external others conditions our interpretation of the current situation and affects our behavior in the interaction. We

Nests in trees are as good as or better than cliffs for two formerly persecuted, primarily cliff nesting eagles in Spain: a cautionary tale in defining the habitat of range‐restricted or threatened species

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
In the late‐20th century, golden and Bonelli's eagles suffered population declines on the Iberian Peninsula, partly due to human persecution. Habitat assessments – especially for Bonelli's eagles – always found or assumed strong associations with cliffs that provided nesting sites.

Regional Infrared and Visible Image Registration for Distribution Substation Areas With Wide Depth of Field

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Infrared and visible image registration is a key task in automated distribution network inspection. Previous approaches typically apply a single homography to align infrared and visible images leading to local misalignment. To address this, this study proposes a novel region‐based registration algorithm specifically designed for wide‐depth ...

Reconciling Circular Economy and Net Zero: Firm Capabilities to Resolve Sustainability Tensions

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract Achieving net zero has become a key concern for firms to address climate change, yet growing evidence suggests that reducing reliance on fossil fuels for energy generation alone is insufficient. As material use is increasingly recognized as a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions, the circular economy has emerged as a potential ...

The impact of Synaesthesia on inclusive teaching and learning: A systematic literature review

British Journal of Special Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Synaesthesia is a neurodevelopmental phenomenon involving consistent, involuntary cross‐modal sensory experiences. Though well‐documented in cognitive neuroscience, its implications for educational practice remain underexplored. This systematic narrative literature review investigates how synaesthesia may impact children's learning and inform ...

The Policy and Politics of Improving Standards in the English Private Rented Sector

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract The standard of existing homes in the English private rented sector (PRS) presents several challenges. As the sector has expanded, issues of inadequate renovation, maintenance and upgrading have assumed greater salience. Research has also highlighted enforcement challenges which make it more difficult to raise property standards and improve ...
