Secrecy: An Epistemological Account

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although the ethical and political implications of secrecy are significant, I argue here that its fundamental nature is epistemological and that any account of its nature must be based on its epistemological profile. In particular, I propose examining secrecy within the framework of social and political epistemology, considering secrets as ...

Reliability analysis of strut-and-tie models for the design of deep beams according to NBR 6118 (2023) [PDF]

open access: yesRevista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais
The strut-and-tie method (STM) applied in the structural design of deep beams is a semi-probabilistic method, that does not take directly into account both the uncertainties associated with the variables involved and those inherent in the calculation ...

Seriality and style: The embodiment, perception, and normalization of collectives

open access: yesThe Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract Within existential phenomenology, both seriality and style have been drawn on to theorize the embodiment and perceptibility of (social) ontological differences. While style refers to how we encounter the world and others not in the abstract, but as immediately and intuitively meaningful, seriality is a form of collective being that pertains to

Impact of material deterioration on the strength of reinforced concrete half-joint structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
During the 1960’s and 1970’s a number of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges were constructed with ‘half-joints’ introduced into bridge decks. A half-joint is a particular type of RC structure that was introduced into bridge decks as a means of simplifying ...

Where water meets rock: Ecological niches and diversity hotspots of hygropetric beetles in the Neotropics

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 502-516, June 2026.
First continental‐scale synthesis of hygropetric beetle diversity and distribution across Neotropical highlands. Climatic and topographic gradients structure regional assemblages and niche overlap. Ecological convergence suggests adaptation to similar conditions across disjunct regions.

Analysis of the structural behavior of beam-column joints in reinforced concrete frames considering bending towards the reduced side of the cross section [PDF]

open access: yesRevista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais
The beam-column joints are called discontinuous regions and, therefore, could be designed by the strut and tie method. In beam-column joints where the bending plane coincides with the column's smaller dimension, the bending moments associated with the ...

Improvement and Application of the Softened Strut-and-Tie Model

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2017
Previous experimental researches indicate that reinforced concrete beam-column joints play an important role in the mechanical properties of moment resisting frame structures, so as to require proper design. The aims of this paper are to predict the joint carrying capacity and cracks development theoretically.
