Evaluating structural resistance and updating modeling uncertainties through testing
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The aging of infrastructure necessitates a robust and rational methodology for the assessment of existing structures. Design codes provide general models which cover different design scenarios and are thus overly conservative. Also, such design approaches lack field data and, if applied directly to existing works, often lead to unnecessarily ...

Numerical analysis of reinforced concrete dapped-end beams [PDF]
Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e MateriaisThe reinforced concrete dapped-ends present in beams, being regions of discontinuity, require non-trivial models for their analysis and design, such as the strut-and-tie model, the shear-friction model, and the finite element method.

‘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.

The Howard Journal of Crime and Justice, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The cultures and governance of security markets in the United Kingdom are often characterised through a paradoxical narrative of simultaneous state retreat and progressive advance. In the face of repeated recent high‐profile security failures, and global changes in material political economy, we argue that UK security governance is adapting to

Simplified Strut-and-Tie Model for Shear Strength Prediction of Reinforced Concrete Low-Rise Walls [PDF]
, 2022 In this study, an analytical model using the strut-and-tie concept was developed to predict reinforced concrete (RC) low-rise wall shear strengths. In the model, the failure mode considered was crushing of the diagonal compression strut.

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.We examined morphology, 3D arrangement, and mineral amount in cartilaginous vertebrae from four lamniform shark families (Alopiidae, Carchariidae, Cetorhinidae, and Lamnidae). We identified family‐specific mineralization trends, and regional patterning of structures along the column.

Secrecy: An Epistemological Account
Noûs, 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 ...
