Using art history to explore society's changing connections with agriculture
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Food insecurity is a looming challenge that especially affects those least fortunate. Consumer food choices have a substantial impact on the sustainability of current food systems. Here, we use art as a lens through which to consider our contemporary and historical relationship to one of the world's most crucial crops, the potato, in the context of the

An experimental study on the shear strength of SFRC beams without stirrups
, 2017 The use of steel fibers in reinforced concrete (RC) structural members aims at the improvement of mechanical properties of such members. This study focuses on shear strength characteristics of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams without stirrups.

Study on the Constitutive Model of Concrete Confined by Multi-Spiral Composite Stirrups
, 2022 Through axial compression tests, the influence of three stirrup indexes (space, form, and strength) on the confining performance of multi-spiral composite stirrups in square reinforced concrete (RC) columns were analyzed, and the square RC columns with ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Reinforced concrete (RC) beams can be subjected to torsion, and failure due to torsion is brittle and poses a significant risk to occupants. Moreover, strengthening of existing RC beams in torsion may be required due to the upgrade of the structures or as part of structural rehabilitation.

Stirrups or no stirrups for routine speculum examinations?: Patient's perspective [PDF]
BMJ, 2006 EDITOR—I have had examinations with and without stirrups in the United States and United Kingdom.1 Before my move to the US, smears had always been done without stirrups, and it was just another examination—no more uncomfortable than having teeth drilled. When I needed a routine cervical smear by my (lovely female) …

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The preservation of reinforced concrete masterpieces from the 20th century poses a complex challenge. These structures often combine architectural, historical, and technological value, which standard engineering codes and conservation practices are not fully equipped to address. The Erasmus+ REcube project responded to this gap by promoting an

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The previous seismic events indicated the vulnerability of old reinforced concrete (RC) structures against earthquakes due to the absence of seismic detailing and capacity design specifications in such buildings. In this context, beam‐column joints (BCJ) of the existing RC structures built before the 1970s have exhibited poor structural ...
