Assessment of the structural properties of timber members in situ : a probabilistic approach [PDF]
, 2011 The assessment of the structural performance of existing timber structures is dependent, among other factors, on the capacity to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of structural timber elements in situ.

A Deep Learning Framework for Forecasting Medium‐Term Covariance in Multiasset Portfolios
Journal of Forecasting, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Forecasting the covariance matrix of asset returns is central to portfolio construction, risk management, and asset pricing. However, most existing models struggle at medium‐term horizons, several weeks to months, where shifting market regimes and slower dynamics prevail.

Workfare and forest cover: The case of NREGS in India
Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, EarlyView.Abstract We examine the impacts of India's National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS), the world's largest workfare program, on forest cover as proxied by vegetation density. We estimate null effects on vegetation for the overall sample as well as for the subsample where we are best able to isolate changes in forest cover, but we find ...

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.Revegetating the subsoil layer of abandoned gold mined sites with the perennial legumes Leucaena Leucocephala, Pueraria phaseoloides and Gliricidia sepium without any soil amendments increases the content of soil organic carbon and important macro‐nutrients, which are crucial for restoring soil health and productivity. These improvements in soil health

Influence of the semi‐rigid bolted steel joints on the frame behaviour
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2010 This research work describes the analysis of steel semi rigid joints that are subjected to bending and tension or compression. The main attention is focussed on the beam‐to‐beam and plate bolted joints. Usually influence of axial force is neglected.

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a crucial prenatal diagnostic tool, but a declining number of procedures makes training a challenge. Here we describe a transcervical CVS simulator made from ballistic gelatin. Ninety‐three Maternal‐Fetal Medicine providers used the simulators during hands‐on workshops and completed surveys regarding their fidelity ...
