Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The structural role of precast concrete walls with openings is often overlooked in design practice due to concerns about reduced stiffness, stress concentration, cracking around openings, and potential unexpected failure modes under seismic loading.

‘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.

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.

Analysis of nodal stress on reinforced concrete two-pile caps supported on steel piles
Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2020 : Reinforced concrete pile caps may be designed trough plastic models (strut and tie model) or models based on bending theory. The formulae available for verifying the stress is based on caps supported on concrete piles, with few studies about the stress

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.

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

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

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.
