IL-15, TIM-3 and NK cells subsets predict responsiveness to anti-CTLA-4 treatment in melanoma patients
Despite the success of immune checkpoint blockade in melanoma, the majority of patients do not respond. We hypothesized that the T and NK cell subset frequencies and expression levels of their receptors may predict responses and...
Governor Appoints Don Long and Tim Hopkins to Winthrop Board of Trustees
Winthrop University
Jan 01, 0001
Don Long of Lake Wylie will fill the appointee slot held by Tommy Pope, who was elected to the S.C. House of Representatives in November and had to resign. Tim Hopkins, an executive director of elementary education in the...

Simulating reinforced concrete members. Part 2

A companion paper described the partial-interaction localised properties that require the development of pseudo properties. If the quantification through experimental testing of these pseudo properties could be removed by the...

Quantification of uncertainty in product stage embodied carbon calculations for buildings
Ellen Marsh, John Orr, Tim Ibell
Nov 15, 2021

Decarbonisation of the energy industry and enforcement of strict targets for operational energy consumption means that non-operational greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, also known as embodied carbon (EC), will soon represent...

Optimising the embodied carbon of laterally loaded piles using a genetic algorithm and finite element simulation
With the need to cut embodied carbon from the construction industry, there has been a growing interest in optimising the design of different structural elements. This paper, for the first time, minimises the embodied carbon of...
Design methods for flexibly formed concrete beams
This paper presents an iterative method for the design of structurally optimised, simply supported, flexibly formed, concrete beams. The design and construction method using flexible formwork has been shown to facilitate...

A design methodology to reduce the embodied carbon of concrete buildings using thin-shell floors

This paper explores the potential of thin concrete shells as low-carbon alternatives to floor slabs and beams, which typically make up the majority of structural material in multi-storey buildings. A simple and practical...

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...

Simulating reinforced concrete members. Part 2

A companion paper described the partial-interaction localised properties that require the development of pseudo properties. If the quantification through experimental testing of these pseudo properties could be removed by the...

Minimising embodied carbon in reinforced concrete beams

The construction industry has received attention due to its significant contribution to global carbon emissions. In this paper, conventional design and construction practices of reinforced concrete beams are scrutinised to...

Embodied carbon assessment using a dynamic climate model
The enormous environmental impact of construction is becoming increasingly apparent and unacceptable to many structural engineers, whose designs typically account for the majority of a building's embodied carbon. It is timely...
Serviceability of fabric-formed concrete structures
Fabric form-work is a newly developed technique to cast concrete structures with a great advantage of saving concrete material of up to 40%. This technique is particularly associated with optimized concrete structures that...
Embodied carbon optimisation of concrete pile foundations and comparison of the performance of different pile geometries
Concrete production and construction are responsible for a considerable share of the total carbon emissions annually. With the emerging need to cut carbon emissions from the construction sector, there has been a big interest in...

Comparing the embodied carbon and cost of concrete floor solutions

Multi-objective optimisation of concrete floors for economic and environmental performance is critical in the present context since the building construction sector is responsible for a rising share of the global economy and...
