Non-invasive technical investigation of english portrait miniatures attributed to Nicholas Hilliard and Isaac Oliver
This study presents the results of the technical investigation carried out on several English portrait miniatures painted in the 16th and 17th century by Nicholas Hilliard and Isaac Oliver, two of the most famous limners...
Diagnosing Hip Microinstability
PURPOSE: Hip microinstability is a relatively new diagnosis which is increasingly being discussed in the literature and yet there are no clear guidelines for making a diagnosis. Microinstability has generally been defined as...

Species and Subspecies Determination and Sequence of Exon 10 of the AHR Locus in Three Mid-Atlantic Populations of Fundulus heteroclitus
Matthew Kenwood, Mary Fuchs
Jan 01, 0001
Populations of the killifish Fundulus heteroclitus surrounding Superfund Sites have been found to have evolved resistance to PAHs and DLCs toxicity and teratogenesis. The resistance mechanism has been thought to derive from the...

Review of the Book "Understanding Liberal Democracy: Essays in Political Philosophy"
Kelly Sorensen
Jan 01, 0001
[Excerpt] Nicholas Wolterstorff argues that public reason liberalism is a dead end, and defends instead what he takes to be a more defensible form of liberalism ("equal political voice liberalism"). His book is fresh and...

Subspecies and Sequence of Exon 10 of the AHR Locus in Three Mid-Atlantic Populations of Fundulus heteroclitus
Matthew Kenwood
Jan 01, 0001
Decades worth of pollutants continue to build up and leach into the waterways of the eastern United States such as poly aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and other dioxin-like compounds (DLCs). These pollutants have immediate and...

Day one sustainability
Emissions reductions targets for the UK set out in the Climate Change Act for the period to 2050 will only be achieved with significant changes to the built environment, which is currently estimated to account for 50% of the...
Form-Finding approach for flexibly formed concrete elements

There is no reason why concrete elements should be prismatic. Concrete is mouldable and can be cast in efficient forms which follow the stresses varying along the length of a concrete element. One option to achieve this is to...

Prediction of capacity for moment redistribution in FRP-strengthened continuous RC T-beams
Due to the premature debonding of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials which results in a reduction in 14 ductility, the problem of how to exploit moment redistribution (MR) in FRP-strengthened continuous 15 reinforced...

Current vibration serviceability assessment criteria for wind-induced vibrations
in tall buildings are based largely on human ‘perception’ thresholds which is shown not to be directly translatable to human ‘acceptability’ of...
Research issues related to the appropriate use of FRP in concrete structures
This paper describes recently-completed research at the University of Bath within the BRE Centre of Innovative Construction Materials in the field of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials for use in concrete structures. The...
Durability enhancements using fabric formwork
By replacing conventional concrete moulds with flexible sheets of permeable fabric the construction of optimised concrete elements that provide material savings of up to 40% when compared to an equivalent strength prismatic...
Shear behaviour of non-prismatic steel reinforced concrete beams
Large reductions in embodied carbon can be achieved through the optimisation of concrete structures. Such structures tend to vary in depth along their length, creating new challenges for shear design. To address this challenge...
Mass and Heat Exchange in Rotating Compressor Cavities With Variable Cob Separation
Next generation aeroengines will operate at ever-increasing pressure ratios with smaller cores, where the control of blade-tip clearances across the flight cycle is an emerging design challenge. Such clearances are affected by...
Anchorage and residual bond characteristics of 7-wire strand
The periodic assessment of our existing concrete infrastructure is a crucial part of maintaining appropriate levels of public safety over long periods of time. It is important that realistic predictions of the capacity of...
Shear design of circular concrete sections using the Eurocode 2 truss model
The introduction of the Eurocodes for concrete design will alter the way that shear is approached for concrete structures. BS EN 1992-1-1 has adopted the variable angle truss model for shear, a more theoretically consistent...
