Non-laminated FRP Strap Elements for Reinforced Concrete, Timber and Masonry Applications
(American Society of Civil EngineersJournal of Composites for Construction, 2010-05-11)
Advances in material technology allow for the exploration of new structural forms and systems. In recent years, fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) have emerged as candidate materials for civil engineering applications, and ...
Time-Dependent Behavior of RC Beams Retrofitted with CFRP Straps
(American Society of Civil EngineersJournal of Composites in Construction, 2010-07-16)
A retrofitting technique that uses prestressed unbonded carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) straps to provide additional shear capacity has previously been shown to be successful under short-term static loading conditions. ...
Water, salt water and alkaline solution uptake in epoxy thin films
(WileyJournal of Applied Polymer Science, 2013-05-10)
As a means of characterizing the diffusion parameters of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites within a relatively short time frame, the potential use of short term tests on epoxy films to predict the long-term behavior ...
Brownian motion and multidimensional decision making
(University of CambridgeJudge Business SchoolKing's CollegeElectricity Policy Research Group (EPRG), 2012-05-08)
This thesis consists of three self-contained parts, each with its own abstract, body, references and page numbering. Part I, "Potential theory, path integrals and the Laplacian of the indicator", ...
Slum upgrading in India and Kenya: investigating the sustainability
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringCentre for Sustainable DevelopmentSt Edmund's College, 2012-04-10)
Slums are informal housing settlements commonly found in urban areas of developing countries which are characterised by poor shelter, low service provision and lacking in security of tenure. Slums are growing and new slums ...
Forcing of globally unstable jets and flames
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringEmmanuel CollegeGates Scholar, 2012-04-10)
In the analysis of thermoacoustic systems, a flame is usually characterised
by the way its heat release responds to acoustic forcing. This
response depends on the hydrodynamic stability of the flame. Some
flames, such ...
A biosynthetic approach to the discovery of novel bioactive peptides
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, 2012-05-08)
Peptides represent a source of novel therapeutics for recalcitrant human diseases, but screening for bioactivity from natural or synthetic sources can be uneconomic. In contrast, in vivo expression of peptides from DNA ...
The application of selective reaction monitoring shows dysregulation of glycolysis in a preclinical model of schizophrenia
(2012-03-15)
Abstract Background Establishing preclinical models is essential for novel drug discovery in schizophrenia. Most existing models are characterized by abnormalities in behavioral readouts, which are informative, but do not ...
