Correlation of corrosion measurements and bridge conditions with NBIS deck rating
… bridge inspection programs such as PONTIS and NBIS. Instead, the inspection and bridge rating guidelines of federally mandated programs such as NBIS are so vague as to allow for a relatively subjective application by the field inspectors. Clear cover depths, resistance, corrosion potentials, …

"We are a part of nature and we must care for it”: an investigation of co-design and youth experiences in nature-based interventions for wellbeing and environmental stewardship
… the potential for nature-based interventions (NBIs), defined as structured activities or environmental modifications designed to engage individuals with nature and strengthen nature connectedness, wellbeing, and planetary health. Study 1 consisted of an umbrella review of 64 systematic reviews …

Identifying the health, wellbeing and social impacts in older adults using nature-based projects: a case study of care farming and community gardening interventions in Greater Manchester.
… in the form of nature- based interventions (NBIs). While NBI’s have been growing in number and popularity, evaluation about the impact is still needed. Existing geographic literature concentrates on younger populations, abroad and across (semi) rural wealthy locations: while health studies …

The Effect of Awe on Depression: A Systematic Review of Experimental Studies. DartmAwe: Nature and Cognitive Change
Nature Based Interventions (NBIs) have attracted attention in recent years for their potential to meaningfully improve wellbeing and reduce symptoms of depression. Among many hypothesised mechanisms of action, is the emotion of awe. There is evidence that experiencing awe in nature is beneficial …

Plasma Dynamics in a High-Power Helicon Source
… fusion reactions. Neutral Beam Injectors (NBIs) will provide most of the heating power by accelerating negative ions to energies of 1 MeV, where they are then neutralised to penetrate the magnetic confinement fields. Negative ions, as opposed to positive ions, are required due to their …

Density Functional Simulations of Defect Behavior in Oxides for Applications in MOSFET and Resistive Memory
Defects in the functional oxides play an important role in electronic devices like metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) and resistive random-access memories (ReRAMs). The continuous scaling of CMOS has brought the Si MOSFET to its physical technology limit and the …
