CFRP Prestressed Concrete Exposed to Moisture
… and transverse swelling in CFRP rods exposed to moisture and stress, the effect of these changes to the overall behaviour of a CFRP prestressed concrete member are minimal. Any long-term effects are unlikely to cause significant changes to the behaviour of the member. However, the …

Concrete Bridge Girders with Exposed Flexural Reinforcement
… modes, of reinforced concrete specimens with exposed flexural reinforcement. Based on these findings, two analytical approaches are developed to predict the longest length of flexural reinforcement that could be exposed that ensures a girder will still exhibit a ductile failure with no …

Growth of HIV Exposed and Unexposed Infants
… infants born to HIV-negative mothers (unexposed). Infant growth was also compared between the three different settings in South Africa. METHODS A prospective cohort study, called the Good Start Study, was conducted in three different settings in South Africa. Mothers were recruited at …

Tissue enzyme changes in air-exposed American eels.
… and metabolite concentrations. Eels were air exposed for 3, 5 or 10 days in boxes ensuring constant temperature and humidity. Maximal activities were determined in white muscle, gill and posterior kidney tissues harvested immediately following the particular air exposure period; as a result of …

Field Performance of Exposed Geosynthetic Composite Liner Systems
… other waste containment applications can be left exposed for weeks, months, or in some extreme cases, even years. Three known consequences of leaving a GMB-GCL composite liner system uncovered, namely geomembrane wrinkling, GCL panel shrinkage, and more recently down-slope erosion of bentonite …

Effects of Estrogens on Astrocytes Exposed to Stressors
<p>Hormone replacement therapy (HRT), used by many women to alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and mood swings, is often a combination of horomones such as estrogens, progesterone, and conjugated equine estrogens (CEE), extracted from the urine of pregnant mares. Previous studies …

High Resolution Distributed Sensing Using Exposed-Core Fibres
… sensing method has been proposed, in which an exposed-core fibre (ECF) is used to detect micro-scaled sized particles. While the ECF has been reported for chemical detection in the past with high sensitivity due to the axial evanescent field along the entire fibre length, this thesis further …

Parenting Interventions For Children Exposed to Intimate Partner Violence
<p>Children exposed to Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) are at risk for enduring mental health problems that are similar to the sequelae of child maltreatment. Victimized parents also are at risk for significant mental health problems that can impair parenting. The co-occurrence of child …

Memory functioning in children exposed to domestic violence trauma
… describes the memory functioning in children exposed to domestic violence trauma. Research findings suggest that adult participants with a clinical diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as defined by the Diagnostic Statistical Manual-IV (American Psychiatric Association, 1994) …

The Educational Implications of Cocaine-Exposed Hearing-Impaired Children
… year old child (D.A.) identified as both cocaine-exposed and hearing-impaired served as the subject for this study. Her behaviors were compared with characteristics commonly-reported in cocaine-exposed children. One characteristic of educational significance is the inability to process more than …

Estradiol and Daily Affective Experiences in Trauma-Exposed Women
… affective experiences in a non-clinical, trauma-exposed sample of 40 naturally cycling premenopausal women. The first specific goal of this study was to test the hypothesis that low estradiol would be related to trauma symptoms, including an asymmetrical profile of SNS and HPA axis stress …

The numerical modelling of composite floors exposed to fire
This thesis deals with the influence of fire on the behaviour of steel concrete composite floors. A theory has been developed to calculate deflections during the fire and the ultimate strength ofthe composite floor under such conditions. The solution is based on the finite difference method. It …

Dynamics of molecular adsorbates exposed to ultrafast thermal gradients
Energy transfer concerned with how thermal energy is transported at molecular-length scales is a relatively new area and the physics governing this process are not yet well established. The experiments presented here represent initial steps toward developing a better understanding how thermal …
