The Small Strain Stiffness of a Carbonate Stiff Clay
Soils and Foundations, 1995 ABSTRACT Knowledge of the small strain stiffness of the heavily overconsolidated Gault Clay, which has up to 30% calcium carbonate content, is rather limited. This has resulted in some difficulties in the analysis and design of structures constructed in the Gault.

Nonlinear vibration isolators with asymmetric stiffness
, 2012 A vibration source is commonly coupled to a receiving structure by a vibration isolator. A key trade-off in the choice of vibration isolator is the requirement for a wide frequency range of isolation without excessive static deflection.

Development of a Disease Activity Index for the Assessment of VEXAS Syndrome (VEXAS‐DAI)
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X‐linked, autoinflammatory, somatic syndrome (VEXAS) syndrome is characterized by a complex spectrum of inflammatory and hematologic manifestations. Clinical research to identify effective therapies is urgently needed but is hindered by the lack of validated outcome measures.

Caregiver Perspectives on the Burden of Disease and Treatment in Uncontrolled Gout
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Uncontrolled gout (UG) refers to persistently elevated serum urate (SU) levels >6 mg/dL and ongoing gout symptoms despite use of urate‐lowering therapy (ULT). The objective of this study was to evaluate the burden associated with informal caregiving for individuals with UG.

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that multijoint osteoarthritis would modify the relation between time and frailty progression, in which more affected joints would lead to larger declines over six years compared to those without osteoarthritis using data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging.
