Experimental investigation of reinforced concrete members subjected to reversed cyclic axial loading

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents an experimental campaign of five reinforced concrete members subjected to cyclic axial loading alternating between tension and compression. Fiber optical sensors and digital image correlation, in combination with automated crack detection and measurement, were used to investigate, among other aspects, the development of ...

Cold‐curing effects on the strength development and sulfuric acid resistance of basalt fiber‐reinforced hybrid alkali‐activated slag mortars

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Cold weather conditions impose substantial constraints upon the performance and long‐term resilience of concrete materials. Alkali‐activated slag (AAS) presents itself as a promising substitute, exhibiting sustained hydraulic activity even when exposed to ambient conditions characterized by low temperatures.

Abattoir antemortem inspection protocol: Observation of unloading improves detection of transport welfare compromises in livestock

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ensuring livestock welfare throughout the production chain, including transport, is an ethical and regulatory imperative. However, protocols to assess transport‐related welfare during routine abattoir inspections are not standardised, including antemortem (AM) inspection by an official veterinarian at UK abattoirs.

A Mixed Covalent–Supramolecular Interpenetrated Copper–Phosphonate Network

Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.
Zigzag Cu–bisphosphonate double strands are connected by dipyridyl linkers to two‐dimensional layers which are organized via hydrogen bonds into a three‐dimensional, two‐fold interpenetrated hydrogen‐bonded framework. A novel copper‐based coordination network [Cu(1,4‐DPB)(H2NBP)] was synthesized via a hydrothermal process using 1,4‐di(pyridin‐4‐yl ...

The Not‐So‐Neue Frau: Weimar Berlin's Modern Women and Generational Identity After 1945

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article studies the post‐1945 literary careers of Gabriele Tergit and Ilse Langner, two ageing German writers. Both had enjoyed promising careers as young women in Weimar Berlin, but Nazism and war disrupted their professional trajectories in varying ways. After 1945, they tried and failed to recapture their Weimar‐era success, eventually

THE LEGITIMACY TRAP: Street Vending Heterogeneity and Selective Enforcement in San Francisco

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Literature on street vending regulation often emphasizes the challenges in enforcing legal frameworks due to unclear laws or insufficient state capacity. However, it tends to overlook diversity among vendors themselves along crucial parameters such as spatial location, community ties and processes of goods procurement.
