ABSTRACT Fatigue cracking is a major distress limiting asphalt pavement service life, and Paris law–based fracture mechanics offers a more mechanistic understanding than conventional fatigue testing. However, systematic characterization across diverse modifiers, dosages, notch depths, and temperatures remains limited.

Ultra‐High‐Speed Sintering of 3.5Y‐TZP Zirconia: Time Reduction Without Compromising Translucency
ABSTRACT Objectives To assess, firstly, the impact of three sintering speeds on translucency and grain size of 3.5Y‐TZP zirconia (Katana HT) across clinically relevant thicknesses, and secondly, the effect of thermocycling on translucency. Materials and Methods Disc specimens were fabricated at six thicknesses (0.7–2.0 mm) and sintered using SLOW (7 h),

ABSTRACT This study aimed to develop an interpretable machine learning framework using plantar‐pressure sensors to estimate knee moments during rugby‐specific movements. A total of 31 North American competitive rugby players were recruited to perform four common rugby movements on an infilled artificial turf surface in a motion capture laboratory ...

A nickel‐catalyzed three‐component reaction between arylaldehydes, butadiene, and malonates is developed yielding high functionalized homoallylic alcohols in a single step. No additional base is required and the reaction shows broad substrates compatibility with yields up to 96% and an exclusive selectivity toward the linear E‐isomer.
