Local-flexural interactive buckling of S690 high strength steel slender welded I-section columns: testing, modelling and design by Sun, Yao, Liang, Yating, Su, Andi, Zhao, Ou

“…A testing programme, adopting two S690 high strength steel slender welded I-sections, was firstly conducted and included initial geometric imperfection measurements and ten pin-ended column tests. The testing programme was accompanied by a numerical modelling programme, where finite element models were developed and validated against the test results and then employed to perform parametric studies to generate further numerical data over a wide range of cross-section dimensions and member effective lengths. …”

Combined effects of muscle fatigue and decision making on knee joint biomechanics by Wang, Nan.

“…During the jumping followed by cutting maneuver under four simulated cases (i.e. pre-fatigue anticipated, pre-fatigue unanticipated, post-fatigue anticipated, and post-fatigue unanticipated), a motion capture system comprised by eight high-speed (200 fps) cameras was used to collect the three-dimensional coordinates of 18 reflective skin markers, which were attached to those interested positions prior to the experiment. …”

“…Despite the recognition of SSI in other surgical fields, there is a paucity of evidence in the neurosurgical literature devoted to skin closure, specifically in patients with brain tumors. …”

Ultrafast laser writing of liquid crystal waveguides by Chen, B, Xie, P, Zhao, Z, Salter, PS, Li, M, Xue, L, Qiu, X, Booth, MJ, Elston, SJ, Morris, SM

“…Following the UV polymerization step and subsequent delamination of the glass substrates, we demonstrate a free-standing flexible LC waveguide, which retains waveguide functionality even when bent, making it potentially suitable for on-skin sensors and other photonic devices that could interface with the human body. …”

Exploration of safe space for traumatic urban youths amidst urban growth by Hui Yen, Kok, Mohd Noor, Mohd Zairul, Lawrence D’silva, Jeffrey

“…For traumatised urban youths, a youth safe space can simply be access to refuge, a place where they feel safe and protected as well as being comfortable in their own skin. Youth require secure public areas where they can congregate, participate in activities that cater to their wide range of needs and interests, influence decisions, and express themselves freely. …”

Evaluating factors affecting mean glandular dose in mammography: insights from a retrospective study in Dubai by Mohammad Noor, Kaltham Abdulwahid, Mohd Norsuddin, Norhashimah, Abdul Karim, Muhammad Khalis, Che Isa, Iza Nurzawani, Ulaganathan, Vaidehi

“…Weak inverse correlations were found between age and organ dose (OD) for both views, while a direct relationship was observed between breast thickness and entrance skin dose (ESD). In adjusted models, ESD was strongly associated with MGD (β = 1.04, 95% CI: 0.97, 1.09), while OD showed a moderate association (β = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.40, 0.49). …”
