Structural Vibrations of Wooden House Walls
Building Acoustics, 2006 The flanking transmission between apartments due to a structure borne source is studied. The apartments studied were two-storey houses with a wooden framework. Acoustic measurements are often made in new built apartments to make sure that they fulfil the building regulations.

Further Findings on the Intergenerational Transmission of Alcohol Consumption
Health Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Using 43,817 parent–child pairs from 23 waves of the HILDA Survey, I study the intergenerational transmission of alcohol use within a rational model of trait transmission. Transmission is predominantly same‐sex: the mother–daughter elasticity is 0.10 and the father–son elasticity is 0.09; there is no father–daughter effect.

The Non‐Professional Virtues of the Hospice Volunteer
Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Volunteers have long played a significant role in hospice care. Much of the care volunteers provide consists of weekly hour‐long in‐home visits. Home‐visiting hospice volunteers are not professionals, nor are they strangers or intimates. Hospice volunteers will not typically face moral dilemmas, nor be called upon to make dramatic decisions ...

Journal of International Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Field visits are common phenomena with non‐governmental organisations in Uganda. During these visits, Ugandan national staff guide visitors on series of meetings and interactions in the field. Following an actor‐oriented approach and drawing on ethnographic data on 14 field visits, this paper understands the field visit as a microcosm for the ...

Modelling durability of wooden structures
, 2022 A model of wood decay has been developed that can be incorporated into a hygrothermal model of building physics. This enables the assessment of the effects of the various exposure conditions on the durability and service life of wood. It can also be used for the evaluation of structural choices (e.g., protection from driving rain, coatings,

Low‐Hysteresis Cellulose‐Based Hydrogels for Strain Detecting
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.Low‐hysteresis hydrogel with high cellulose content is prepared. The modified cellulose is prepared through a sequential periodate oxidation and borohydride reduction process. The hydrogel can be used as a strain sensor with a gauge factor of 1.1 in the 0%–300% sensing range.
