Contemporary and Novel Hold-Down Solutions for Mass Timber Shear Walls

Buildings, 2022
‘Mass timber’ engineered wood products in general, and cross-laminated timber in particular, are gaining popularity in residential, non-residential, as well as mid- and high-rise structural applications. These applications include lateral force-resisting

A community‐driven approach to address substance use and create a Great Plains American Indian addiction and recovery research agenda

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Substance use, specifically opioid and methamphetamine use, is of increasing concern among American Indian (AI) populations in the Great Plains. This community‐driven participatory study investigated the impacts of substance use and community‐defined needs in treating addiction.

Are Self-Drilling, Self-Tapping Screws Effective in Anterior Cervical Fusion Surgery? One Surgeon’s Experience with 50 Consecutive Patients

Journal of Spine Practice
Purpose Even though plate and screw designs in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) have evolved to improve fusion stability and enhance patient outcomes, some argue that pre-tapping remained the best option. The purpose of this study is to

Self-tapping Intermaxillary Fixation Screw: An Alternative to Arch Bar

The Journal of Contemporary Dental Practice, 2017
ABSTRACT Introduction The use of intermaxillary fixation (IMF) in the treatment of faciomaxillary fractures is the key factor for reduction and immobilization. Various techniques of IMF have been described in the past and recently IMF screws have been introduced. This technique has various advantages, including ease of use, less time consumption, less

Characterization of a two‐phase hybrid flotation column

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explored the performance of a novel hybrid flotation column, which combines the advantages of a mechanically agitated cell with a flotation column and compared the results with a conventional flotation column setup. The experiments were performed in an air/water two‐phase system under varying airflow rates, frother concentrations ...

A Timber–Concrete–Composite Edge Connection for Two-Way Spanning Cross-Laminated Timber Slabs—Experimental Investigations and Analytical Approach

Buildings, 2023
This paper introduces a method to create a moment-resisting edge connection between two cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels. With this connection, two-way spanning cross-laminated timber slabs can be realised, where the span exceeds the manufacturing and

Behavior of Long‐Slotted Perforated Steel Plate Fuses in Timber Brace End Connections

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Steel perforated plate fuses have emerged as a promising solution for mass timber seismic force‐resisting systems, offering tunable energy dissipation mechanisms, such as flexural and shear yielding, through geometric adjustments. This study examines the cyclic performance of perforated steel plate fuses employed in timber braced frames, with ...

Fluorescent light and sunlight radiations may improve rice bran oil colour and influence its oxidative stability and chemical composition

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract The influence of pretreatment of rice bran oil using fluorescent and sunlight radiations on its colour and their influence on its chemical composition and oxidative stability were assessed. Rice bran oil was stored under sunlight, fluorescent light and ambient conditions for 60 days. Oil samples were collected every 15 days for analysis.
