Monitoring the Shear Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Fiber Optic Sensors Installed in the Compression Zone

A variety of measurement systems are available for monitoring existing concrete bridges with deficiencies in shear capacity. In addition to established systems, fiber optic sensors (FOS) offer significant potential for structural health monitoring. However, FOSs are often install...

A decision-support framework for selecting new energy bus technologies: Assessing battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell buses

New energy bus (NEB) technologies, including battery electric buses (BEBs) and hydrogen fuel cell buses (FCBs), offer pathways to support decarbonisation strategies in public transport. Selecting the most suitable technology represents a multi-dimensional decision problem encompa...

Vancomycin optimised dosing regimens for critically ill patients receiving renal replacement therapy

Optimal dosing of vancomycin in critically ill patients receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT) is uncertain due to high pharmacokinetic variability. We aimed to develop individualised vancomycin dosing recommendations that optimise efficacy while minimising toxicity. Prospecti...
