Tubed-reinforced-concrete columns are gaining increasing usage in engineering practices, whereas research on their fire behaviour is still limited and mainly concentrated unrestrained columns. Since end-restrained might behave differently as compared to the columns, of square tubed-reinforced-concrete with end restraints was investigated via numerical modelling this study. The axial rotational ...

We present a Parylene neural microprobe array and the first demonstration of deep brain (> 5 mm) implantation of bare polymer probes, enabled by a novel micropackaging technique. Targeting brain sites below the surface of the cortex with soft polymer probes typically requires bulky overcoats or insertion shuttles, which greatly increase probe dimensions and tissue damage, negating advantages of...
