To the Definition the Deflections of Flexible Non-centrally Compressed Reinforced Concrete Struts Strengthened in the Transverse Direction with Composite Materials by D. R. Mailyan, S. V. Georgiev

“…An analysis of the calculation methods found in the normative literature on strengthening reinforced concrete structures with composite materials arranged in the transverse direction by the method of wrapping structures showed that there is no calculation method for the second group of limit states.The Code of Rules 164.1325800.2014 does not consider options for strengthening flexible compressed reinforced concrete structures, with the arrangement of composite materials in the transverse direction, introducing restrictions to the dimensions of structures. However, our research suggests the opposite. …”

Vacuum amplitudes and time-like causal unitary in the loop-tree duality by The LTD collaboration, Selomit Ramírez-Uribe, Andrés E. Rentería-Olivo, David F. Rentería-Estrada, Jorge J. Martínez de Lejarza, Prasanna K. Dhani, Leandro Cieri, Roger J. Hernández-Pinto, German F. R. Sborlini, William J. Torres Bobadilla, Germán Rodrigo

“…Abstract We present the first proof-of-concept application to decay processes at higher perturbative orders of loop-tree duality (LTD) causal unitary, a novel methodology that exploits the causal properties of vacuum amplitudes in the LTD and is directly well-defined in the four physical dimensions of the space-time. The generation of loop- and tree-level contributions to the differential decay rates from a kernel multiloop vacuum amplitude is shown in detail, and explicit expressions are presented for selected processes that are suitable for a lightweight understanding of the method. …”
