Breaking point: Identifying the factors that predict suspension from school

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract School suspensions are associated with adverse educational and psychosocial outcomes, yet little is known about how structural disadvantage, relational factors, health behaviours, well‐being indicators and school‐level factors jointly predict suspension risk in England.

Genetic Expression Programming Based Empirical Models for the Prediction of Rutting Parameter of Bitumen Modified Using Nanomaterials

Engineered Science
Bitumen rheological properties significantly influence pavement performance in terms of resistance to rutting and cracking. Various approaches, such as polymer modification and the incorporation of nanomaterials, have been employed to improve bitumen ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Effect of Polymer Modified Asphalt With Crumb Rubber on The AC-WC Wear Layer Against Rutting Uses Wheel Tracking Machine (WTM)

Journal of Applied Engineering and Technological Science
Premature rutting remains one of the most critical failure mechanisms in flexible pavements, particularly in tropical regions where high temperatures and increasing axle loads accelerates permanent deformation.

Application of mechanistic empirical approach to predict rutting of superpave mixtures in Iraq

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
In Iraq rutting is considered as a real distress in flexible pavements as a result of high summer temperature, and increased axle loads. This distress majorly affects asphalt pavement performance, lessens the pavement useful service life and makes ...

Understanding the effects of structural factors and traffic loading on flexible pavement performance

International Journal of Transportation Science and Technology, 2023
Pavement damage increases rapidly with vehicle loads. The deterioration in pavements over time is caused by various factors but traffic loading plays a significant role in the consumption of pavement life.

Utility and Emotion: A Combined Economic‐Psychological Approach to Understanding Consumer Preferences for Social Farming Products

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTSocial farming integrates agricultural activities with social and rehabilitative functions, offering significant benefits to communities. However, its economic sustainability depends, among other factors, on consumer acceptance and willingness to pay a premium for its products.

Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Investigation of indoor and field tests on asphalt pavement with inverted asphalt layers based on the vertical vibration compaction method

Journal of Road Engineering
An inverted asphalt pavement is created by reversing the sequence of the lower and middle layers in a conventional asphalt pavement. The lower layer is composed of material with larger particle size and lower asphalt content, which improves its ability ...
