Patch repair technology with sacrificial zinc anodes in RC slabs with corroded steel bars by Christian, Alvin

“…However, cracks within the concrete would start to form within a month after the application of patch repair. This is because the application of patch repair inadvertently introduces an additional corrosion mechanism. …”

E-cigarette (EC) and heated tobacco product (HTP) use in the United Arab Emirates, an emerging EC and HTP market: a cross-sectional analysis of the International Tobacco Control (I... by Leinberger-Jabari, A, Ahmad, A, Lindson, N, Oke, J, Hartmann-Boyce, J, Fong, G, El-Shahawy, O, Raghib, A, Sherman, S

Neural mechanisms of perceptual decision-making in the fruit fly by Wong, LHT

“…</p> <p>Combining molecular cloning, patch-clamp electrophysiology, closed-loop optogenetics, and drift-diffusion modelling, I establish a causal relationship between the neural activity in αβc KCs and the fly’s olfactory decision-making. …”

Les sanctions coutumières comme gage de la paix et de la sécurité chez les traditionnalistes moundang du Nord-Cameroun by Dekane, E

“…L’analyse des pratiques diverses relatives aux normes et peines traditionnelles, suivant la théorie du relativisme culturel de Claude Lévi-Strauss, confirme cette hypothèse. Les résultats montrent que les Moundang disposaient d’une culture juridico-judiciaire déclinant les normes sociales, les instances judiciaires et les sanctions draconiennes multiformes par lesquelles ils assuraient la paix et la sécurité. …”

Printable low-temperature carbon for highly efficient and stable mesoscopic perovskite solar cells by Thangavel, Nivethaa R., Koh, Teck Ming, Chee, Zhong Quan, Tay, Darrell Jun Jie, Lee, Ming Jun, Mhaisalkar, Subodh Gautam, Ager, Joel W., Mathews, Nripan

Without passage by Chee, En Cui

“…However, whether the same can be said of the semantic — in understanding the narrative — is less clear. After all, mazes have objective truths: this is either the solution, or not. …”

Essays on the market for corporate bonds by Levonmaa, A

“…The results show that the bond market responds to news on credit quality asymmetrically: credit rating downgrades, representing bad news for bond holders, produce the strongest response in returns, whilst upgrades do not generate a statistically significant increase in returns. …”

An artificial neural network model for multi-flexoelectric actuation of plates by Fan, Mu, Yu, Pengcheng, Xiao, Zhongmin

“…Multiple flexoelectric actuators method has the advantage of less stress concentration and better control effect, but the mode-dependent optimal actuator locations could influence the flexoelectric actuation effect significantly. …”

Exploring connections between seagrass ecosystem services and meadow hydrodynamics by Schaefer, Rachel

“…Lastly, in a patchy current-dominated meadow the spatial variability in sediment carbon stocks did not correlate with the spatial distribution of patches. One vegetated patch showed substantially higher sediment carbon than the rest of the meadow, which was attributed to the recent persistence of the specific patch. …”

Crustal deformation at the Sumatran subduction zone revealed by coral rings by Ward, Steven N., Natawidjaja, Danny H., Suwargadi, Bambang W., Sieh, Kerry

“…Analyses of coral rings grown in the interval 1970–1997 reveal a geographically distinct pattern of interseismic uplift off Sumatra's western coast. At distances less than 110 km from the Sumatran trench, coral reefs are submerging as fast as 5 mm/y. …”

Automatic adaptive FE analysis of thin-walled structures using 3D solid elements by Lee, Chi King, Xu, Q. X.

“…This procedure employs a specially designed superconvergent patch recovery (SPR) procedure for stress recovery, the Zienkiewicz and Zhu (Z-Z) error estimator for the a posteriori error estimation, a new refinement strategy for new element size prediction and a special mesh generator for adaptive mesh generation. …”

The sensitivity of tsunami models and tsunami energy to geologically constrained fault sources and shallow bathymetry by Felix, Raquel Picar

“…The ratio is generally close to or less than 1 for frontal thrusts, because their narrow uplift patches are only few kilometers wide, close to the values of the water depth (average ocean depth is at ∼4 km; deepest ocean depth at the trench is at ∼11 km). …”
