Strut and tie modeling for RC short beams with corroded stirrups

Latin American Journal of Solids and Structures
Corrosion of steel reinforcement is one of the major problems that shorten the service life of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Steel stirrups, due to their location as an outer reinforcement, are more susceptible to corrosion problems and damage ...

Skeletons of swiftly swimming sharks: Three‐dimensional analysis of lamniform vertebral morphology and mineral architecture

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.

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

Revista 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 ...

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 ...

A Novel 3D‐Printed Strut‐Type Prosthesis Reconstructs the Hemicortical Defect After Distal Femur Parosteal Osteosarcoma Resection: The Mid‐Term Follow‐Up Outcome

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
This study developed a novel three‐dimensional (3D)‐printed strut‐type prosthesis for reconstruction of bone defects following hemicortical resection of distal femoral parosteal osteosarcoma. The mid‐term follow‐up results demonstrated that this prosthesis effectively restored limb function and exhibited favorable bone ingrowth and osseointegration ...

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

The 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

Effect of loading type in concrete deep beam with strut reinforcement

Open Engineering
This study examined eight specimens of two groups of deep beam (DB) with the same dimensions and reinforcement quantity, where the first group had four specimens tested under two-point loads and the second group had four specimens tested under one-point ...

Strategies for the Selection and Application of Biological Scaffolds in Organ‐on‐a‐Chip Systems

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
Organ‐on‐a‐chip (OoC) serves as a promising microphysiological platform for drug screening, disease modeling, and toxicity assessment. Biomimetic scaffolds are core components that determine the performance of OoC systems by mimicking the in vivo extracellular microenvironment.

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

Journal of Corporate Accounting &Finance, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 135-146, July 2026.
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 ...

Competitive diplomacy in bargaining and war

American Journal of Political Science, Volume 70, Issue 3, Page 1164-1180, July 2026.
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.
