The lateral resistance of dowel-type connections with CLT is related to its lay-up, species the laminations and even manufacture method. Treating as homogeneous material, current methods develop new equations through test results or make use existing for embedment strength already used in design codes; thus, can be calculated. This kind approach does not take stress distribution into account, w...

The majority of offshore wind structures are supported on large-diameter, rigid monopile foundations. These piles may be subjected to scour due the waves and currents that causes a loss soil support consequently decreases pile capacity system stiffness. results numerical models suggest shape hole affects magnitude loss; however, there is dearth experimental test data quantify this effect. This ...

Fishes rely on the neuromasts of their lateral line system to detect water flow during behaviors such as predator avoidance and prey localization. Although the pattern of neuromast development has been a topic of detailed research, we still do not understand the functional consequences of its organization. Previous work has demonstrated somatotopy in the posterior lateral line, whereby afferent...

Abstract Purpose of Review The aim this analysis is to provide a synopsis the surgical methods utilized treat nasal valve collapse resulting in airway obstruction, and evaluate contrast lateral crural strut grafts (LCSG) tensioning (LCT). Recent Findings Lateral grafting major technique used external collapse. However, recent years, combined with articulated alar rim (AARG) has become popular. ...
