‘From the Fields Into the Bars’: The Story of Israel's First Transgender Novel, The Cut (1977)

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 1977, an Israeli transgender woman, Judy Spotheim, published an autobiographical novel entitled The Cut. It describes the emergence of a trans community in the commercial‐sex areas of Tel Aviv‐Jaffa, hoping to humanise trans women (coccinelles). This article is the first to study the novel and present a biography of Spotheim.

Analysis of the nodal stresses in pile caps

Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2018
Pile caps can be dimensioned using, preferably, plastic models (strut-and-tie) and models based on the flexion theory. In order to analyze the behavior of the stresses in the lower and upper nodal regions of the cap, a theoretical analysis of the ...

A unified shear stress limit for reinforced concrete beam design [PDF]

, 2015
Nine asymmetrically spanned reinforced concrete deep beams were designed and tested to unreinforced web crushing failure in this experimental study to establish the appropriate shear stress limit for beam design.

Competitive diplomacy in bargaining and war

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract War is often viewed as a bargaining problem. However, prior to bargaining, countries can vie for leverage by expending effort on diplomacy. This article presents a dynamic model of conflict where agenda‐setting power is endogenous to pre‐bargaining diplomatic competition.

Optimal strut-and-tie modelsi n reinforced concrete structures

Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science, 2023
A general solution of the diffusion problems which concern the R.C. structures, may be deduced by the limit analysis, by means of truss schemes suitable to model the load transfer mechanism.

Variation in trabecular bone microarchitecture across rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) load‐bearing joints

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Aging of bone density (BV/TV) is regional: Forelimb [left] elements gain bone sporadically (orange) but hind limb elements [right] lose bone globally (blue). Abstract Globally, human population structure is quickly trending older, increasing the prevalence and systemic burden of age‐related skeletal disorders such as osteoporosis.

Performance-Based Optimization for Strut-Tie Modeling of Structural Concrete [PDF]

, 2002
Conventional trial-and-error methods are not efficient in developing appropriate strut-and-tie models in complex structural concrete members. This paper describes a performance-based optimization (PBO) technique for automatically producing optimal strut ...
