Abstract The preliminary findings of cyclic tests conducted on a series half-scale unstrengthened and strengthened masonry walls are presented. Reinforced were by (i) non-prestressed near surface mounted (NSM) glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars (ii) prestressed NSM GFRP. Walls symmetrically vertical passing through both mortar bricks. structure was subjected to concurrent sustained unif...

Abstract The development of hydrodynamic force/torque closure models with physical fidelity is crucial for ensuring reliable Euler–Lagrange simulations in particle‐laden flows. Our previous work (Seyed‐Ahmadi and Wachs. J Fluid Mech . 2020;900:A21) proposed a microstructure‐informed probability‐driven point‐particle (MPP) method to construct data‐driven particle‐position‐dependent model, incorp...

Plague is an endemic disease to the west of Iran and has frequently stricken this area over the last decades. In 1954, Pasteur Institute of Iran established a research station in the west of the country and since then has monitored the plague outbreaks as well as the disease status in rodents and carnivores by dispatching research teams to different villages and localities. We noticed that ther...

After the publication of the article, the authors retrospectively noted that the name of Dr Dawn Jones, a postdoctoral researcher in the laboratory of Professor Christine Gosden, should have been added to the authors' list, whose contribution to the study greatly augmented the exploration of all the RNA products via adoption of the RNASeq (Illumina) methodology. All the existing authors agree t...

BACKGROUND Nonmelanoma skin cancer rates are increasing worldwide. Mohs micrographic surgery and surgical excision (SE) are the two treatment methods for this type of cancer. The current paper aims at determining and comparing the cost-effectiveness of SE and Mohs micrographic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS The current study has a retrospective cohort design. A number of 630 patients sufferin...
