Breathing in Plants and Chaos—Cosmic Tree Events in Cameroon and Beyond

open access: yesAnthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contemporary practices of tapping into the wisdom of ancestral trees are described through three entangled recent events lived within the context of Bantu practices in Cameroon. In the three instances, the steered or chance encounters with high potency trees were serendipitous telling moments which brought something new to the horizon.

Behaviour of GFRP rebars reinforced concrete elements under elevated temperature and fire [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
PhDIn general, it is expected that concrete structures using Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) rebars as reinforcement could have improved durability compared to normal steel reinforcement because of the corrosion resistance of the rebar. However,

How Strategic Leaders Drive Firms in Ecosystems: Envisioning Value, Orchestrating Knowledge, and Shifting Roles

open access: yesJournal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Research on business ecosystems has illuminated how ecosystems emerge, evolve, and transform, revealing ecosystem‐level dynamics and the central actors that orchestrate them. Yet, it is individual firms that continuously attempt to establish and shift the roles they play within ecosystems through the vision and choices of their strategic ...

Performance Evaluation of Architectural Modular Member with Ultra-High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete for Application

open access: yesApplied Sciences
As the modular industry expands, the most widely used building materials are primarily concrete, steel, and wood. However, the use of wood and steel is severely limited compared to concrete for reasons such as durability and economy.

Proprioception drives tension wood formation for autotropic straightening and postural control in trees

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Proprioception controls trunk straightness in trees through opposite tension wood formation. A spherical growth chamber (a), combined with a two‐dimensional rotating clinostat (b2), suppresses gravi‐ and phototropic sensing. The tree is first tilted horizontally (b1), triggering upward gravitropic bending, actuated by tension wood formation on the ...

Use of CFRP to provide continuity in existing reinforced concrete members subjected to extreme loads [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
textA special problem in many reinforced concrete structures built in the 1970s and earlier is the lack of continuity between elements. Continuity is a characteristic of structures essential to preventing collapse.

Seismic Response of Existing Masonry‐Infilled RC Frame Structures Retrofitted with Steel Exoskeletons

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 14, Page 3593-3611, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Considering the needs for reducing carbon emissions and except for extreme cases of very degraded existing structures, research on technologies allowing continued use or upgrading of older buildings has become a priority topic. Generally, research on upgrading of reinforced concrete frame structures certainly has a prominent role, because of ...
