Experimental and Analytical Investigations of the Use of Groove-Epoxy Anchorage System for Shear Strengthening of RC Beams Using CFRP Laminates by Mohamed, Khalid Mustafa Elradi

“…Generally, the contributions of groove-epoxy on shear-strength decreased with the increase of groove width. Moreover, shear strength prediction models, based on modifications of the ACI440.2R-17 shear model, were developed by incorporating groove factors as a modifier to the FRP shear-strength contribution. …”

Mapping local patterns of childhood overweight and wasting in low- and middle-income countries between 2000 and 2017 by LBD Double Burden of Malnutrition Collaborators (18567880)

“…Here, we show geospatial estimates of overweight and wasting prevalence among children under 5 years of age in 105 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) from 2000 to 2017 and aggregate these to policy-relevant administrative units. Wasting decreased overall across LMICs between 2000 and 2017, from 8.4% (62.3 (55.1–70.8) million) to 6.4% (58.3 (47.6–70.7) million), but is predicted to remain above the World Health Organization’s Global Nutrition Target of <5% in over half of LMICs by 2025. …”
