Effects of beam axial deformations on storey-based critical gravity loads in tension-only semi-braced steel frames
(Elsevier, 2021-04-01)If the beams in a structural frame are not connected to slabs or other rigid diaphragms, the beams will axially deform when the frame is subjected to lateral loads, reducing the critical loads and increasing local deflections ... -
Effects of column imperfections on capacity of steel frames in variable loading
(Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2019-11-15)The presence of column initial imperfections in a steel frame can increase deflections and decrease its load carrying capacity. A method is proposed for evaluating the lateral stiffness, inter-storey displacement and ... -
The effects of dielectric decrement and finite ion size on differential capacitance of electrolytically gated graphene
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)We analyze the effects of dielectric decrement and finite ion size in an aqueous electrolyte on the capacitance of a graphene electrode, and make comparisons with the effects of dielectric saturation combined with finite ... -
The effects of Eriophorum vaginatum on N2O fluxes at a restored, extracted peatland
(Elsevier, 2017-09)Restoration of extracted horticultural peatlands commonly includes distribution of vegetation and propagules from 10 nearby undisturbed sites over the recently-exposed surface. The resulting growth includes both mosses and ... -
The effects of filamentary Ni, graphene and lithium amide (LiNH2) additives on the dehydrogenation behavior of mechano-chemically synthesized crystalline manganese borohydride (Mn(BH4)2) and its solvent filtration/extraction
(Elsevier, 2018-04-01)Dehydrogenation properties of mechano-chemically synthesized crystalline Mn(BH4)2 hydride without and with ultrafine filamentary carbonyl nickel (Ni), graphene and LiNH2 were investigated. It is reported for the first time ... -
The effects of flagellar hook compliance on motility of monotrichous bacteria: A modeling study
(AIP Publishing, 2012-06)A crucial structure in the motility of flagellated bacteria is the hook, which connects the flagellum filament to the motor in the cell body. Early mathematical models of swimming bacteria assume that the helically shaped ... -
Effects of graphene nano-platelets (GNPs) on the microstructural characteristics and textural development of an Al-Mg alloy during friction-stir processing
(Elsevier, 2018-02-15)The aim of this research is to characterize the unique microstructural features of Al-matrix nanocomposites reinforced by graphene nano-platelets (GNPs), fabricated by multi-pass friction-stir processing (FSP). During this ... -
The Effects of Home Exercise in Older Women With Vertebral Fractures: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
(Oxford, 2020-04)Background Regular exercise is advocated in osteoporosis guidelines to prevent fractures. Few studies have evaluated the effect of exercise on functional performance, posture, and other outcomes that are important to ... -
The effects of imagery rescripting on memory outcomes in social anxiety disorder
(Elsevier, 2020-01)Imagery rescripting (IR) is an effective intervention for social anxiety disorder (SAD) that targets negative autobiographical memories. IR has been theorized to work through various memory mechanisms, including modifying ... -
Effects of ionic concentration gradient on electroosmotic flow mixing in a microchannel
(Elsevier, 2014-11-08)Effects of ionic concentration gradient on electroosmotic flow (EOF) mixing of one stream of a high concentration electrolyte solution with a stream of a low concentration electrolyte solution in a microchannel are ... -
Effects of Mask-Wearing on Social Anxiety: An Exploratory Review
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-06-01)Background A unique feature of the global coronavirus pandemic has been the widespread adoption of mask-wearing as a public health measure to minimize the risk of contagion. Little is known about the effects of increased ... -
Effects of molecular crowding and confinement on the spatial organization of a biopolymer
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-10-25)A chain molecule can be entropically collapsed in a crowded medium in a free or confined space. Here, we present a unified view of how molecular crowding collapses a flexible polymer in three distinct spaces: free, ... -
Effects of peripheral eccentricity and head orientation on gaze discrimination
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-11-26)Visual search tasks support a special role for direct gaze in human cognition, while classic gaze judgement tasks suggest the congruency between head orientation and gaze direction plays a central role in gaze perception. ... -
