Deflection‐based assessment of residual prestress in simply‐supported bridges accounting for creep variability

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Several test methods have been proposed in the literature for measuring the level of residual prestress, most of them involving either semi‐ or fully destructive techniques for local measurements which could be highly sensitive to boundary conditions and execution details.

ACCOUNTING FOR BIODIVERSITY: Periphery Urbanization, Environmental Conflict, and Spatial Inequality in Monetizing the Value of Nature

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In terms of mainstream sustainability economics, market‐led initiatives aimed at biodiversity restoration represent a productive, morally conscientious choice. Under this view, efforts in areas such as biodiversity offsetting, net gain, or finance are considered effective tools for preventing or managing environmental degradation.

Cost‐Effectiveness Analysis of Transoral Robotic Surgery Versus Radiotherapy Alone for Early‐Stage HPV‐Associated Oropharynx Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Australia

open access: yesJournal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and radiotherapy are both recognised as effective treatment options for early‐stage HPV‐associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV‐OPSCC). TORS offers the benefit of a shorter total treatment duration; however, a proportion of patients require adjuvant radiotherapy with or without ...
