Ethylene and carbohydrate deprivation were investigated as possible causes of bud abortion in Lilium longiflorum Thunb.

Fourteen days of 92.5% irradiance reduction increased bud abortion when plants were exposed to 2.07 mM ethephon. Percent bud abortion was 39% and 60% for plants grown in full irradiance and reduced irradiance, respectively. Ethephon resulted in 54% abortion, regardless of irradiance at 4.15 mM. A 70% irradiance reduction for 14 days did not increase bud abortion when plants were treated wi

Abstract:

The large ductile deformation response of stiffened plates subjected to blast loads is investigated and simplified methods of analysis of such response are developed. Simplification is derived from modelling stiffened plates as singly symmetric beams or as grillages thereof. These beams are further assumed to behave in a rigid, perfectly plastic manner and to have piecewise linear bending moment-axial force capacity interaction relations, otherwise known as yield curves. A blast loaded, one-way stiffened plate is modelled as a singly symmetric beam comprised of one stiffener and its tributa

Approximately one-third of trauma patients are coagulopathic on arrival to the emergency department. Acute traumatic coagulopathy and systemic inflammatory responses are serious secondary consequences of severe trauma and are linked to increased morbidity and mortality. Early tissue hypoxia is a major component in the aetiology of both complications. New resuscitation strategies are aimed at improving tissue oxygenation in the pre-hospital phase, and may attenuate coagulopathy and inflammatory sequelae. This is of particular importance in military personnel who suffer complex injuries, often f

Abstract:

Simulation of fracture in ductile materials is a challenging problem, since it typically occurs at length scales that are orders of magnitude smaller than that of the structures in which the fracture is occurring and, hence, difficult to resolve . One approach is to avoid modelling the micro-mechanics of ductile fracture by describing the macroscopic effects of fracture using damage parameters. Damage in metals can be defined as a measure of discontinuous deformation of a body. Many numerical models include some measure of damage to predict when a material will fracture under certain condition

Abstract:

CIVINS<br>The recent trend of using fine water mist systems to replace the legacy HALON-1301 fire suppression systems warrants further study into other applications of the water mist systems. Preliminary research and investigation indicates that fine mists (20-25 micro droplet size) may reduce peak overpressures of a shock wave traveling through a space. Such pressure reductions could be used to mitigate the destructive effects of a shock wave (initiated by an explosive device) traveling through a structure. Currently these blast mitigation effects have only been demonstrated in small-scale sh

Abstract:

Properly proportioned, placed and cured concrete can be durable under most conditions. However, deterioration of concrete does occur under certain environments. One of the problems that affect the durability of hardened concrete is delayed ettringite formation (DEF) which is an important problem encountered in precast concrete industry where high temperature curing is applied. Although there had been many researches on DEF, there are still many uncertainties about its chemistry and mechanism.

Abstract:

The inclusion of venting areas in aircraft unit load devices (ULDs) as a potential blast mitigation technique is investigated in this work.

The loading within a luggage container was expected to be reduced when the explosive products were vented into the adjacent ULDs. Although previous work has investigated the effect of venting on ULD blast loading, this has only considered a single venting side and not multiple venting configurat

Abstract:

Previous events have demonstrated the vulnerability of reinforced concrete infrastructure to blast loading. In buildings, ground-story columns are key structural components, and their failure can lead to extensive damages which can cause progressive collapse. To prevent such disasters, the steel reinforcement in such columns must be properly detailed to ensure sufficient strength and ductility. The use of modern concrete materials such ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is one potential solution to improve the blast performance of columns. UHPC shows high compressive strength, high tensile

Abstract:

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an emerging engineered wood product in North America. Past research effort to establish the behaviour of CLT under extreme loading conditions has focussed CLT slabs with idealized simply-supported boundary conditions. Connections between the wall and the floor systems above and below are critical to fully describing the overall behaviour of CLT structures when subjected to blast loads. The current study investigates the effects of “realistic” boundary conditions on the behaviour of cross-laminated timber walls when subjected to simulated out-of-plane blast loads
