Shear Strengthening of RC Deep Beams with Symmetrically or Asymmetrically Positioned Square Openings Using CFRP Composites and Steel Protective Frames by Hamid Karimizadeh, Abolfazl Arabzadeh, Mohammad Reza Eftekhar, Asghar Amani Dashlejeh

“…The strengthening composites were installed using externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) or externally bonded reinforcement on grooves (EBROG) techniques in two wrapped or inclined configurations. The obtained results indicate that specimens retrofitted by the SPF exhibited a superior performance as their loading capacity and energy absorption were enhanced by 115% and 337% in comparison with the reference beam, respectively, while these values for the specimens retrofitted by the EBROG technique were 58% and 182%, respectively, and 42% and 105% for those strengthened with the EBR technique.…”

Dp-brane Dynamics and Thermalization in Type IIB Ben Ami-Kuperstein-Sonnenschein Models by Dariush Kaviani

“…We show that when the minimal extension is positive definite, the induced world volume metrics of type IIB rotating probe branes admit thermal horizons and Hawking temperatures despite the absence of black holes in the bulk subject to the world volume and topology of the nontrivial internal cycle wrapped by the probe. We also derive the energy–stress tensor of the thermal probes and study their backreaction and energy dissipation. …”

Juvenile Cosmology; Or Richard Powers’ Post-Global Doughnut by Judith Roof

“…The novel’s collapse of time/space is not a simplistic paean to the global (a category already as out-dated as hapless Vietnam vets), but instead bags the gathering consciousness of an originless existence forever extending beyond its supposed coordinates. The novel wraps both inward and out, framing its frames and detours while loosing them. …”
