Osteohistology of two phorusrhacids reveals uninterrupted growth strategy

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Phorusrhacidae were apex predators that primarily dominated South America ecosystems for at least 40 million years with their imposing size and predatory lifestyle—yet some aspects of their biology remain poorly understood. Osteohistology is a tool for understanding growth dynamics and biomechanical adaptations.

String Figuring young children's perspectives of quality in English early childhood education and care

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Quality in early childhood education and care (ECEC) is a contested concept and has generally been conceptualised by inter‐related indicators such as staff qualifications, educational environment, policy or child‐to‐staff ratios. There has been a more limited emphasis on how young children might perceive and experience quality.

Experimental investigation of the strut efficiency factor of bottle-shaped struts on local models and reinforced concrete deep beams [PDF]

open access: yesRevista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais
The design of concrete structural elements with discontinuous stress distribution is often done using strut and tie models and involves the design and detailing of reinforcement, as well as verifying the strength of struts and nodal zones.

Major Cybersecurity Breaches: Shaping Corporate Cybersecurity Policies and Closing the Gaps

open access: yesJournal of Corporate Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As digitalization accelerates, cybercrime has intensified in both scale and impact over the past two decades. This study aims to critically examine major cybersecurity events, assess them through the lens of routine activity theory, examine insight from three other established criminological and organizational theories, and address central ...

Strut-tie method of design and possible serviceability problems: an exploration by NLFE [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The strut and tie method presents a rational and consistent approach to the design of all parts in a reinforced concrete structure. With this approach, the load carrying mechanism of the structure is represented by approximating the compressive stress

Shear enhancement in RC beams with multiple point loads [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
© 2014 Elsevier Ltd.Eurocode 2 (EC2) allows short shear spans in reinforced concrete beams with loads near supports to be designed using either its shear provisions or strut and tie models (STM).
