Reinforcing Reachable Routes
Reachability routing is a newly emerging paradigm in networking, where the goal is to determine all paths between a sender and a receiver. It is becoming relevant with the changing dynamics of the Internet and the emergence of low-bandwidth wireless/ad hoc networks. This thesis presents the case …

Edge caps for reinforcing composite laminates
A method for reinforcing the free edges of a symmetric 11-ply graphite-epoxy laminate by adding a one-layer Kevlar-epoxy edge cap is studied. Generalized plane strain finite element analysis is used to predict that interlaminar stresses are reduced when an edge cap is added to the laminate. …

ANCHORAGE OF HEADED REINFORCING BARS IN CONCRETE
Headed reinforcing bars serve as a viable alternative to hooked bars for anchorage in concrete because they provide a more efficient anchorage mechanism and limit congestion of the reinforcement. This study is part of a comprehensive study of the anchorage behavior of the headed bars. The work …

The Effects of Reinforcing Operant Variability on Task Acquisition
Neuringer, Deiss, and Olson (2000) was replicated and extended to determine the effect of variability contingencies on task acquisition for twelve 7-9 year old children. Subjects first learned to press a computer's shift keys with increasing response variation. Each subject was then exposed to one …

Bond between reinforcing bars and concrete under impact loading
The bond between reinforcing bars and concrete under impact loading was studied for plain, polypropylene fibre reinforced, and steel fibre reinforced concretes. The experimental program included setting up an impact test system, in which an impact load with considerable energy could be generated, …

Biased language usage and age in reinforcing marginalizing behavior
<p>Biased language usage is prevalent within every society and within every level of all these societies. While there are many studies that look at the psychological, physical, and symbolic manifestations of biased language, it is unclear as to when this type of behavior is recalled as being …

The effect of reinforcing soil inclusion on offshore pipeline ploughs
The installation of pipelines on the seabed is a vital part of the oil and gas industry as they allow the safe transfer of oil and gas between oil and gas fields, rigs and countries. It is important to install pipelines as efficiently as possible as it costs hundreds of thousands of pounds per day …

A Differentially Reinforcing Token System in a Public School Classroom
<p>If token reward systems do exert control of behavior in the classroom, it should be possible to test the various hypotheses: (1) A token reward system increases academic test performance in a classroom not defined as exceptional, (2) The increase in test performance is equivalent across academic …

Superelastic shape memory alloy composite bars for reinforcing concrete structures
… adding ductility and energy dissipation to FRP reinforcing bars through the use of SMA-fiber reinforced polymer (SMA-FRP) composites, an innovative type of composite that consists of a polymer matrix reinforced with small diameter superelastic SMA wires with and without additional conventional …

Field Performance of Epoxy-Coated Reinforcing Steel in Virginia Bridge Decks
… corrosion protection performance of epoxy-coated reinforcing steel (ECR) was evaluated in 18 concrete bridge decks in Virginia in 1997. The decks were 2 to 20 years old at the time of the investigation. The concrete bridge deck inspections included crack survey and cover depth determination in the …

Delay Discounting, Reinforcing Value of Food, and Components of Metabolic Health
Background: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over one-third of US adults are obese. In order to assess causes of and treatments for obesity, researchers have evaluated a number of processes underlying health-related behaviors, one of which is delay discounting. …
