THE CALCULATION OF WOODEN CONSTRUCTIONS TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE CREEP OF WOOD ON THE EXAMPLE OF A STATICALLY INDETERMINATE LENTICULAR BLOCKED TRUSS by I. S. Inzhutov, V. V. Mezentsev, A. F. Rozhkov, M. E. Khovansky

“…Objectives The aim of the study is to refine the calculation of wooden constructions, in particular, to use variable elastic modulus  for the calculation of the second group of the limiting state in order to predict the deformations more accurately.Methods The study is carried out using the method of creep  consideration based on the use of either variable elastic modulus or  the “modulus of total deformations” for the calculations. …”

Relationship between cumulative peer risk and sense of security among adolescents: a moderated mediation model by Lili Ji, Yifan Yu, Jiaojiao Wan, Yafei Zhang, Junfeng Zhao, Chaoran Chen

“…Mediation analysis indicated that (a) cumulative peer risk significantly negatively predicted adolescents’ sense of security; (b) cumulative peer risk significantly negatively predicted self-efficacy, which in turn reduced adolescents’ sense of security; and moderated mediation analysis further demonstrated (c) That the first and second half of the mediation path were moderated differently by perceived social support. …”

Coupled SWAT-MODFLOW model for assessing watershed responses to groundwater sustainability: A novel ensemble approach by Tarekegn Dejen Mengistu, Il-Moon Chung, Mingyu Kim, Sun Woo Chang

“…The performance of the integrated SWAT-MODFLOW model was assessed using the Parameter Estimation Tool (PEST) with streamflow and aquifer properties, and was found to be in reasonable agreement between the predicted and observed values. New hydrological insights: Annual ensemble values of exploitable amounts of groundwater discharge, minimum desirable flow, and groundwater recharge were used to compute the groundwater footprint and sustainability. …”
