State-of-the-art review and future research directions for FRP-to-masonry bond research: Test methods and techniques for extraction of bond-slip behaviour
[Review of ]. CONSTRUCTION AND BUILDING MATERIALS, 183, 325–345.
author keywords: Unreinforced masonry (URM); Clay brick; Natural stone; Retrofit; Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP); Bond-slip; Load-slip; Bond-strength

A non-parametric bootstrapping framework embedded in a toolkit for assessing water quality model performance
Environmental Modelling & Software, 107, 25–33.
author keywords: Water quality modeling; Performance assessment; Non-parametric re-sampling
TL;DR:
Evaluation of the USGS's Load Estimator (LOADEST) and the Weighted Regression on Time, Discharge, and Season (WRTDS) models in predicting total nitrogen loads over 18 stations from the Water Quality Network show good performance, but both models captured only 40% of observed variance in total nitrogen concentration.
