Coupled phase field and nonlocal integral elasticity analysis of stress-induced martensitic transformations at the nanoscale: boundary effects, limitations and contradictions
(Springer, 2023)
Acceso restringido
In this paper, the coupled phase field and local/nonlocal integral elasticity theories are used for stress-induced martensitic phase transformations (MPTs) at the nanoscale to investigate the limitations and contradictions ...
Does context matter? Examining robbery reporting in a high crime country
(SAGE, 2023)
Acceso restringido
Most empirical studies that examine why individuals report property crimes to the police have focused on Global North countries where crime rates are low. This study is situated in the most violent area of the world, Latin ...
Association of Serum Pyridoxal Phosphate Levels with Established Status Epilepticus
(Springer, 2023)
Acceso restringido
Background
The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of pyridoxine deficiency, measured by pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) levels, in patients admitted to the hospital with established (benzodiazepine-resistant) ...
Nonlinear dynamics of origami metamaterials: energetic discrete approach accounting for bending and in-plane deformation of facets
(Springer, 2023)
Acceso restringido
In this paper, we start the analysis of the nonlinear dynamics of structural elements having an origami-type microstructure and micro-kinematics, also known as origami metamaterials. We use a finite-dimensional Lagrangian ...
Investigating the effect of nanovoid inelastic surface stress and the austenite–martensite interface inelastic stress on the martensitic growth at the nanovoid surface
(Springer, 2023)
Acceso restringido
In this paper, the effect of nanovoid inelastic surface stress and austenite (A)–martensite (M) interface inelastic stress on the martensitic growth at the nanovoid surface is investigated. Within the phase field approach ...
Narrative modelling: A comparison of high and low mass dwelling solutions in Afghanistan and Peru
(SAGE Publications Ltd., 2023)
Acceso restringido
Displaced populations are housed in various constructions, including lightweight predesigned structures. Theoretically, self-built heavyweight structures should ensure better temperatures and be closer to cultural norms. ...
A beam model for duoskelion structures derived by asymptotic homogenization and its application to axial loading problems
(Elsevier Ltd., 2023)
Acceso restringido
Duoskelion structures have been recently introduced by Barchiesi et al. (2021) as a proof-of-concept motif for a new class of metamaterials. The properties of these periodic beam-like chiral structural elements have been ...
A cost-benefit analysis for the appraisal of social and market prices in the probabilistic seismic risk assessment of building portfolios: A methodology for the evaluation of disaster risk reduction programs
(Elsevier, 2023)
Acceso restringido
A cost-benefit analysis can be a milestone for the probabilistic seismic risk assessment of building portfolios. This approach appraises social, economic, and technical aspects as evaluation criteria, becoming a reliable ...
Simplified methodological approach for estimating the mean repair time of building portfolios directed to the development of seismic resilience policies, based on the distribution of resources
(Springer, 2023)
Acceso restringido
Recovery from a catastrophic seismic event is dependent on multiple aspects involving resilience capacity. Disaster Risk Reduction management includes the development of policies focused on the preparedness to overcome the ...
Optimisation and Characterisation of the Protein Hydrolysate of Scallops (Argopecten purpuratus) Visceral By-Products
(MDPI, 2023)
Acceso abierto
In this research, scallops (Argopecten purpuratus) visceral meal (SVM) and defatted meal (SVMD) were analysed for their proximal composition, protein solubility, and amino acid profile. Hydrolysed proteins isolated from ...
