Abstract The corrosion of steel reinforcement is commonly believed to be the primary cause of structural deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC) structures; as a result of this deterioration, a RC structure can incur a considerable reduction in structural serviceability and safety.Because of their inherent redundancy, statically indeterminate str

The lubricant inlet meniscus in a rolling element bearing acts as a reservoir that feeds the elastohydrodynamic contact, resulting in a sufficiently thick film to avoid wear.A shortening and/or thinning of the inlet meniscus towards the contact centre is an indicator of bearing starvation and impaired lubricant performance.This work introduces an u

Abstract Pupil size and blink rates are heritable but the extent to which they interact with one another has not been properly investigated.Though changes in pupil size due to eye blinks have been reported, they are considered a pupillary artifact.In this study we used the HCP 7T fMRI dataset with resting state eye-tracking data obtained in monozyg

Today, the development of building materials based on toxic or non-toxic industrial waste is a topical issue for the productive structures in industrialized countries.In this article, non-toxic wood waste (wood chips) is used to improve the characteristics of ordinary concrete (lightness, thermal insulation, acoustic absorption, rigidity under stre
