Ductility of continuous RC beams strengthened with partially bonded near-surface mounted CFRP bars by Mahmoud A. Abdelraouf, Ayman H. Khalil, Ahmed F. Maree, Amr M. Ibrahim

“…Then, a comprehensive parametric study was performed to expand the results using different CFRP bonded lengths, CFRP reinforcement ratios, retrofit patterns, and steel reinforcement ratios. The obtained results indicate that partially bonding the CFRP bars can improve the beam’s deformability, ductility, and moment redistribution. …”

Continued collaboration of ex situ and in situ programs is critical for the genetic sustainability of the endangered Rana pretiosa by Briar Hunter, Anne-Laure Ferchaud, Eric Normandeau, Kendra Morgan, Arne Mooers, Gabriela Mastromonaco, David Lesbarrères

“…Mixed source zoo populations were less differentiated from their wild source populations than the latter were among themselves, indicating sufficient representation of wild populations in zoo populations. The patterns we uncover support continued collaboration of ex situ and in situ endeavours as supplementation will likely be required for the long-term viability of the very wild populations the zoos rely on for genetic sustainability.…”
