Indigenizing Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition: A Review of the Literature by Peyton Juhnke, Tobin LeBlanc Haley

“…Providing a careful review of this literature contributes a missing map of this field of scholarship and shares key insights for scholars. This is a timely contribution. While the assessment of prior learning has been in practice for decades, this practice has excluded (and continues to exclude) the knowledges of those who remain underrepresented within higher education. …”

Experimental Study and Numerical Simulation Analysis on Reinforcement of Mortise-Tenon Joints with Flat Steel Strips by Shurong Gan, Wen Pan, Hexian Su, Yucheng Jin, Chuanwei Zhu, Shibin Yu

“…The results showed the following: the pulling-out phenomenon of tenons was severe, and the aseismic performance of Tou tenons was superior to Ban tenons and dovetail tenons; reinforcing the middle part of mortise-tenon joints with steel plates could effectively reduce the pulling-out amount of joints and promote the aseismic performance of mortise-tenon joints but have an insignificant promotive effect for the bearing capacity of Tou mortise-tenon joints; the aseismic performance was improved significantly after the flat steel strip reinforced position was moved to the upper and lower ends of mortise-tenon joints, with the ultimate bearing capacities being 1.5∼2.4 times that on the middle part of flat steel strip reinforced joints.…”
