Starting from the beginning of the 20-century, slip-forming is widely used in formwork due to fast concrete work. Slip-forming is one of the potential concrete formwork methods that improves speed and productivity of repetitive vertical concrete work. Typical projects that employ this technique are: silos, core of high-rise buildings, telecommunication towers, cooling towers, heavy concrete off...

User data is siloed in mobile apps today. Where one app may hold the user’s flight booking, another app the user’s cab reservation, with little data sharing between the two, resulting in a fragmented user experience. For instance, if a user, who has just booked a flight using one app, wishes to pre-book a cab from the airport, they would have to do so by manually re-entering the data from the f...

Our knowledge of low back disorder (LBD) causation has progressed well over the years with in-depth understanding accelerating in the traditional disciplines of biomechanics, psychology, psychophysics, psychosocial, physiology, genetics, organizational psychology and rehabilitation. However, each of these disciplines has studied LBD causality in isolation of other disciplines. The underlying as...
