ANALYSIS OF THICK RECTANGULAR PLATES RESTING ON NONLINEAR WINKLER FOUNDATION
Journal of Engineering and Sustainable Development, 2016 This research deals with the elastic behavior of thick plates resting on nonlinear Winkler foundation. Mindlin’s thick plate theory is extended to include the effect of nonlinear elastic foundation.

Galerkin Solution of Stochastic Beam Bending on Winkler Foundations
Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, 2010 In this paper, the Askey-Wiener scheme and the Galerkin method are used to obtain approximate solutions to stochastic beam bending on Winkler foundation. The study addresses Euler-Bernoulli beams with uncertainty in the bending stiffness modulus and in the stiffness of the foundation. Uncertainties are represented by parameterized stochastic processes.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT With climate change, birds will face increasing thermoregulatory demands, which may alter reproductive behaviors such as offspring provisioning. Experimental studies have shown that the provisioning capacity of female tree swallows (Tachycineta bicolor) is limited by their risk of overheating. Given that parental investment strategies may vary

How Does Entrepreneurs' Grit Predict Effectual Decision‐Making?
Strategic Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Entrepreneurs' grit is one of the most relevant predictors of new venture performance. We investigate whether the “stubbornness” of entrepreneurs' grit negatively relates to their effectual decision‐making abilities. Understanding the underlying mechanisms is relevant because the effectual decision‐making abilities of founders are crucial for ...

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Scleromyxedema (SMX) is a cutaneous mucinosis characterised by an abnormal accumulation of mucin in the skin and limited treatment options. Assessment of therapy response during treatment is challenging. Objectives Patients with SMX receiving high‐dose intravenous IVIg therapy were included to assess validity of the double modified ...

Moose indifferent to canopy loss from forest disturbance by bark beetles
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Moose showed strikingly similar patterns of habitat selection before and after widespread forest disturbance following an infestation of bark beetles. Our findings indicate that beetle‐kill does not appreciably alter habitat quality for moose and highlight the importance of riparian areas in sustaining moose as they contend with changing forests ...

EXPERIMENTAL TEST OF THE MODEL OF A NONLOCAL ELASTIC FOUNDATION
Structural Mechanics of Engineering Constructions and Buildings, 2015 The design of bars, lying on an elastic base is fulfilled usually with help of a simple model of the base proposed by Winkler. This hypothesis was subjected to repeated critics. A new model of nonlocal elastic foundation was proposed by PotapovV.D .

Beam Elements on Linear Variable Two-Parameter Elastic Foundation [PDF]
Bulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Jassy: Constructions, Architechture Section, 2008 The traditional way to overcome the shortcomings of the Winkler foundation model is to incorporate spring coupling by assemblages of mechanical elements such as springs, flexural elements (beams in one-dimension, 1-D, plates in 2-D), shear-only layers ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.This study aimed to quantify the spatio‐temporal use of breeding environments by the Eurasian curlew in 5 contrasting agricultural landscapes. To this end, 64 individuals were tagged with GPS devices to assess their space use according to their breeding stages and define their foraging habitat selection.
