A reference specimen for compaction tests of fiber reinforcements (2019)
Journal Article

Compaction behavior of textiles has a major influence on the outcome of various manufacturing processes for fiber reinforced polymer composites. Nevertheless, no standard exists up to date which specifies test methods or test rigs. A recent internati... Read More about A reference specimen for compaction tests of fiber reinforcements.

Reliability assessment of shallow foundations on undrained soils considering soil spatial variability (2019)
Journal Article

Structural design using partial safety factors aims at achieving an homogeneous safety level in geotechnical design without the use of more complex reliability analysis.

Plane Strain Polar Elasticity Of Fibre-Reinforced Functionally Graded Materials and Structures (2019)
Journal Article

This study investigates the flexural response of a linearly elastic rectangular strip reinforced in a functionally graded manner by a single family of straight fibres resistant in bending. Fibre bending resistance is associated with the thickness of... Read More about Plane Strain Polar Elasticity Of Fibre-Reinforced Functionally Graded Materials and Structures.

A Femoral Clamp to Reduce Soft Tissue Artifact: Accuracy and Reliability in Measuring Three-Dimensional Knee Kinematics During Gait (2019)
Journal Article

The accurate measurement of full six degrees-of-freedom (6DOFs) knee joint kinematics is prohibited by soft tissue artifact (STA), which remains the greatest source of error. The purpose of this study was to present and assess a new femoral clamp to...

Nonperturbative analysis of the gravitational waves from a first-order electroweak phase transition (2019)
Journal Article

We present the first end-to-end nonperturbative analysis of the gravitational wave power spectrum from a thermal first-order electroweak phase transition (EWPT), using the framework of dimensionally reduced effective field theory and preexisting nonp...

The terminal sialic acid of stage-specific embryonic antigen-4 has a crucial role in binding to a cancer-targeting antibody (2019)
Journal Article

Cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, requiring ongoing development of targeted therapeutics such as monoclonal antibodies. Carbohydrates on embryonic cells are often highly expressed in cancer and are therefore attract...

The ‘dark matter’ of ubiquitin-mediated processes: opportunities and challenges in the identification of ubiquitin-binding domains (2019)
Journal Article

Ubiquitin modifications of target proteins act to localise, direct and specify a diverse range of cellular processes, many of which are biomedically relevant. To allow this diversity, ubiquitin modifications exhibit remarkable complexity, determined...
