M. E. Grant Duff, Philosophic Liberalism and the Global Liberal Cause

History, EarlyView.
Abstract Historians disagree about how best to conceptualize nineteenth‐century British Liberalism in relation to its international contexts. This article argues that we can better understand the patterns involved by interrogating individuals who bridged the worlds of partisan politics and elaborated thought.

Performance evaluation of traditional timber joints under cyclic loading and their influence on the seismic response of timber frame structures [PDF]

, 2016
Timber joints represent the governing part of a timber structure, particularly when assessing its seismic response. In order to better assess the seismic capacity of traditional timber frame structures, particularly timber-framed shear walls, pull-out ...

‘Enthusiasts’ and ‘Fanatics’: The Decembrists as a Case Study in French Influence on Russian Culture, Emotions and Thought

History, EarlyView.
Abstract Participants in Russia's 1825 Decembrist uprising against the Tsarist regime were, quite literally, a case study in French cultural influence upon Russia. This is particularly true as it relates to Russia's emotional cultures. Although this has not, traditionally, been the primary focus of historical analysis of this event (in Soviet or ...

Study on the Bearing Characteristics of Pressure-Type Uplift Piles

Advances in Civil Engineering
This study, based on field tests and numerical simulations, compares the performance of conventional uplift piles and pressure-type uplift piles with respect to load-bearing capacity, axial force distribution, and skin friction.

Structural parameter variation working on the performance of anti-uplift multibell underreamed anchors

Scientific Reports, 2022
The structural parameters of multibell underreamed anchors play a crucial role in anchoring performance. The parameters of multibell underreamed anchor investigations are helpful when exploring optimized anchor structures.

The Coloniality of Data: Police Databases and the Rationalization of Surveillance from Colonial Vietnam to the Modern Carceral State

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tracing the early adoption of computer gang databases by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and the Los Angeles Police Department in the 1980s to the deployment of computationally‐assisted surveillance during the Vietnam War, this paper uses a genealogical approach to compare surveillance technologies developed across the arc of ...

A Modified Method for Calculating the Uplift Capacity of Micropiles Considering the Correction of the Critical Embedment Depth

Buildings
As environmentally friendly pile foundations with small diameters and higher slenderness ratios, micropiles are widely used in fields such as transmission line engineering and building reinforcement.

A parametric study on the axial behaviour of elastomeric isolators in multi-span bridges subjected to horizontal seismic excitations [PDF]

, 2016
This paper investigates the potential tensile loads and buckling effects on rubber-steel laminated bearings on bridges. These isolation bearings are typically used to support the deck on the piers and the abutments and reduce the effects of seismic loads

Stuck in the Waiting Room: An Analytical Essay Exploring Infertility at Work

Gender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this analytical essay, we use our embodied career experiences to explore infertility at work, placing our “infertile body” at the center of analysis. We consider the ways in which infertility has impacted our identities, careers, and timelines.

Structural performance of steel-concrete sandwich beams with carbon nanofiber reinforcement [PDF]

, 2019
Cementitious materials such as concrete are typically characterised as quasi-brittle with low tensile strength and low strain capacity, which hence affect the long-term durability of the structure.
