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 ...

Perancangan Pile Cap Menggunakan Metode Strut and Tie Model

The design of the pile cap structure generally involves a conventional method that assumes that all areas are linear. The reality distribution strain in cross-section structure pile cap experiences non-linear strain.

Modified Softened Strut and Tie Model for Concrete Deep Beams

Journal of Engineering and Sustainable Development, 2012
A modified softened strut-and-tie model (MSST) for determining the shear strength of reinforced concrete deep beams is proposed in this paper. It is a simplified analytical model and several improvements have been made.

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 ...

Multiple linear regression models for shear strength prediction and design of simplysupported deep beams subjected to symmetrical point loads

KKU Engineering Journal, 2015
Because of nonlinear strain distributions caused either by abrupt changes in geometry or in loading in deep beam, the approach for conventional beams is not applicable.

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

Structural Performance of RC Beams containing Tension-Only Nodes

International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials, 2018
Strut and Tie (S&T) models are used for the design of what are known as “discontinuity regions” in reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Building codes such as ACI-318 and Eurocode 2 do not give information on the nodes that only connect ties in S&T ...

Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 4037-4060, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.

Making Mining Licit: Gold, Commodification, and the Everyday Performance of Law in Colombia

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 480-493, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Ethnographies of resource‐making have shown that the extraction of resource value from objects is premised on obviating the emplaced lifeworlds that surrounded objects before they traveled to consumer markets. Much of this literature looks at such supply‐chain disentanglement from the viewpoint of corporate and formal regulatory practices ...
