Injuries in deep time: interpreting competitive behaviours in extinct reptiles via palaeopathology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For over a century, palaeopathology has been used as a tool for understanding evolution, disease in past communities and populations, and to interpret behaviour of extinct taxa. Physical traumas in particular have frequently been the justification for interpretations about aggressive and even competitive behaviours in extinct taxa.

Charring rate for fire exposed X-Lam [PDF]

, 2017
Design of timber structures has been outlined in Eurocode 5. Notional charring rate for softwood and hardwood timber is given. For the performance of X-LAM panels in fire, only little information on charring is available and whether the fire behaviour of

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Behaviour of hollow concrete‐filled steel tubular composite elements

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2007
Behaviour of composite steel‐concrete elements in various loading stages is quite well analysed by theoretical investigations and experiments. Concrete‐Filled Steel Tube (CFST) is one of many composite elements used at present in civil engineering ...

Defining appropriate limit states for design of timber connections in Australia and New Zealand [PDF]

, 2007
Both Australia and New Zealand design standards for timber structures are in limit states format, but these are first generation soft conversions of previous working stress design standards. It is anticipated that development of a new combined Australian

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Investigation of rational depth of castellated steel I‐beams/Sijų su perforuotąja sienele racionalaus aukščio tyrimas

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2008
There are many methods to calculate castellated steel beams; however, neither of these methods determines the rational cross‐section selection. Selecting the rational cross‐section induces a significant reduction in the quantity of steel. A new algorithm

Sequencing Finance for Climate Resilience: Instruments, Institutions and Hong Kong's Role in Mobilising Private Capital in Southeast Asia

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates innovative financing strategies to mobilise private capital for climate adaptation, emphasising Hong Kong's role in advancing efforts across Southeast Asia. Using expert interviews and case studies, it addresses two key questions: which financial instruments can strengthen public–private collaboration, and what best ...
