Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment and Psychometric Test of the ‘Empathy and Understanding in the Dementia Index’ for Health ProfessionalsPaul Slater, Kevin Moore, Florence Sharkey, Felicity HassonEmpathy among health professionals requires the application of empathic understanding in practice and in the way, care is provided. To date, few tools have been specifically designed to measure empathy concerning dementia training. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a psychometrically valid and reliable tool to measure empathy among health professionals. A mixed methods sequential exploratory design was adopted guided … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 19 Dec 2022 · 6,910 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAbout the Cyanobacteria and StromatolitesFlorian Ion Tiberiu Petrescu, Liviu Marian UngureanuStromatolites are layered biochemical accretionary structures formed in shallow water by the trapping, binding and cementation of sedimentary grains in biofilms (specifically microbial mats), especially cyanobacteria. Stromatolites occur widely in the fossil record of the Precambrian but are rare today. Life on Earth was born at least 3.7 billion years ago, but since then the number of living things has … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 17 Feb 2022 · 8,230 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeismic and Thermal Retrofitting of Masonry Buildings with Fiber Reinforced Composite Systems: A State of the Art ReviewArnas Majumder, Flavio Stochino, Fernando Fraternali, Enzo MartinelliOld masonry buildings represent the largest part of traditional constructions. Generally, they are both seismically vulnerable and thermally dispersive. Therefore, the need for seismic and thermal retrofitting aimed at reducing their vulnerability and environmental impact has motivated research efforts towards sustainable retrofitting solutions. This study presents a literature review of the approaches currently available for masonry retrofitting. Specifically, it highlights … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 22 Feb 2021 · 11,961 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractVolume 1: First Steps for SGAMRChiara Bedon, Mario D’Aniello, Flavio StochinoSummer 2017 is approaching when the International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research starts to walk and the “Volume 1” contains its first outcomes (Bedon et al., 2017). It is worth of interest that the attention of the contributors is on glass…. but not only,… and this represents a promising step for the journal growth and evolution. In … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 28 Aug 2020 · 6,331 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBamboo Lightweight Shear Walls: Modeling and Identification of Sheathing-to-Framing Connections for Seismic Response AnalysisGiorgia Di Gangi, Cristoforo Demartino, Giuseppe QuarantaThe need for enhancing the sustainability of civil constructions has originated an increasing interest in the use of engineered bamboo-based products within the building sector. Nonetheless, while the static response of bamboo-made structures has been largely investigated, experimental and numerical researches concerning the response under dynamic loads are limited. Therefore, the present work deals with the assessment of the seismic … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 16 Jun 2020 · 6,943 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConcretes Resistance of Yam a Great PersistenceHossein Gholami, Majedeh Haeri-Hamedani, Mohsen Ghane, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-AskariToday all distinguish the position of earthquake withstanding of constructions in seismic-vulnerable zones. With respect to this opinion that current concrete constructions are usually considered and constructed depend on earliest rules lacking examining the result of seismic powers and the novel rules don’t guess any shake, so, these structures must be persistence capability. Investigation on standards of HPFRCC substantial as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 9 Oct 2019 · 7,106 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPSHA Study Using EZ-Frisk Software Case Study Baychebaq Dam SiteHadi JarahiAwareness of seismicity, is the earliest requirement in seismic design of Dam constructions. This article is devoted to study on Seismotectonic and seismicity and also seismic risk analysis of the Baychebaq reservoir dam. These studies involve detecting seismic sources and assessing seismicity parameters. According to the studies, Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) is 0.1 gal. This PHA may be related to … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 10 Nov 2017 · 7,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVulnerability and Protection of Glass Windows and Facades under Blast: Experiments, Methods and Current TrendsXihong Zhang, Chiara BedonGlass has been overwhelmingly used for windows and facades for modern constructions. Nevertheless, due to its relatively low tensile strength and mostly brittle behaviour, compared to other structural members, glass windows/facades are one of the most fragile components for a building envelop that are always associated with vast casualties in a blast incident. Several researches have been carried out to … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 24 Jul 2017 · 14,153 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractInternational Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research: A New Open Platform for Materials ScienceChiara Bedon, Mario D’Aniello, Andreas Luible, Flavio StochinoEditorial The International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research (IJSGAMR) is a new peer-reviewed, open access journal, which covers all aspects of theoretical and practical research of materials science. The journal aims to promote international exchange of knowledge and broad discussion on advancements, outcomes and recent developments in materials research for engineering applications. In the last years, the … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 17 May 2017 · 13,690 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Assessment of Analytical models for the ULS Resistance Verification of Structural Glass Elements under Variable LoadsChiara Bedon, Claudio AmadioThe design of glass structures, due to the intrinsic material properties, is mainly governed by the typical tensile brittle behavior of the material. In this regard, a currently open question related to the use of glass in buildings as a load-bearing constructional material, is represented by the correct estimation of static fatigue phenomena due to a generic combination of design … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 16 Mar 2017 · 7,761 accessesView PDFCite
