The impact damage tolerance of fiber-reinforced laminated composite materials is a source of concern, mainly due to internal induced damage which causes large reductions on the strength and stability of the structure. Th...

This study evaluates the low-velocity impact response of aerospace-grade epoxy laminates (M18/1) interleaved with four distinct thermoplastic films (PEI, PES, PSU, PC). Impact performance was correlated with quasi-static...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Many organizations worldwide have made significant financial commitments to fund research across various sectors. However, there has been little study on the performance of these awards, part...

The main objective of this research paper is to examine the impact of board size and ownership concentration, representing corporate governance mechanisms, on agency costs in large Croatian companies. Furthermore, debt...

ABSTRACT Many bacteria produce flagella to swim and navigate through environments. Depending on the species, flagella are beneficial for other activities such as sensing surfaces to initiate biofilm development, secretio...

Traditional bibliometric indicators such as the h-index emphasize cumulative citation impact but provide limited insight into the efficiency and concentration of that impact across a researcher's publication portfolio. T...

Subsea cables are critical infrastructure that are susceptible to damage from anchor drops, necessitating robust protection systems. This study evaluated the crashworthiness of a duct-type reinforced concrete protection ...

The purpose of the present paper is to propose a novel approach of impact test system based on electromagnetic loading (EML) technology, which could provide more efficient and flexible experiment method with large range ...

Non-dental glass fiber is one of the materials that can be used to increase the impact strength of a acrylic resin base plate, containing a similar composition to that of dental e-glass fiber. Orientation and positions o...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Tertiary healthcare systems in low‐ and middle‐income countries persistently suffer quality gaps due to inefficient financing and governance. Innovative healthcare financing mechanisms ar...

The impact roller (IR) compaction method is an efficient and cost-effective compaction technique, which has been widely used in highway and airport engineering for subgrade compaction and ground improvement of soft found...

Abstract Background Impacted upper ureteral stones pose a significant risk of ureteral injury and stricture formation during ureteroscopic procedures. The Flexible and Navigable Suction Ureteral Access Sheath (FANS) inte...

This study investigates the fragmentation expansion and water storage characteristics of collapsed rock in overlying strata during its formation. Pre-static loaded fractured samples of four typical roof rock types-coarse...

Approximately 670 million residents in the ASEAN region face heat-related health risks including synergistic effects with air pollution. Despite health impacts of heat studies existed in individual countries, a regionwid...
