Ensemble‐based soil liquefaction assessment: Leveraging CPT data for enhanced predictions

Civil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 23-35, March 2025.
Abstract This study focuses on predicting soil liquefaction, a critical phenomenon that can significantly impact the stability and safety of structures during seismic events. Accurate liquefaction assessment is vital for geotechnical engineering, as it informs the design and mitigation strategies needed to safeguard infrastructure and reduce the risk ...

Applications of Biomaterials in Separators for Secondary Batteries

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
In this review, biomaterial‐based separators are reviewed as sustainable alternatives to conventional polyolefin‐based separators. For 12 different natural polymers, spanning from Protista, Plantae, and Animalia, viable strategies for synthesizing biomass‐based separators are described.

Interferometric Scattering Microscopy (iSCAT): A Perspective on Visualizing and Engineering Electrode Homogeneity for Advanced Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Electrode state‐of‐charge heterogeneity critically limits lithium‐ion battery performance and safety. This Perspective highlights iSCAT, a powerful optical technique for real‐time, nanoscale visualization of lithium dynamics within single particles. By revealing the origins of heterogeneity, iSCAT enables rational electrode design.

Expression, Purification, and Microscopy‐Based Assays for Engineered Recombinant Tyrosinated, Detyrosinated, and Δ2 Human Tubulin

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microtubules are noncovalent polymers assembled from α/β tubulin dimers. Their structure, dynamics and interaction with effectors are regulated through the expression of diverse tubulin isotypes and chemically diverse posttranslational modifications, also known as the “tubulin code.” Understanding the biophysical correlates between tubulin ...

Catastrophic Medical Expenditures

, 2018
The ‘basic’ approach to 'catastrophic' medical expenses (where expenses are related to consumption or income) indicates whether expenses cause a large percentage reduction in living standards. By contrast, the 'ability-to-pay approach' (where expenses are related to consumption or income less actual expenses on nonmedical ...

Aero‐breakup of droplets: Recent progress and outlook

Droplet, EarlyView.
This work systematically reviews the recent progress of droplet aero‐breakup studies. The discussion covers the research history, theoretical framework, new breakup mode discoveries, influence of droplet fluid properties, scenarios of multi‐droplet and droplet cloud, and finally, an outlook for future explorations is presented. Abstract Aero‐breakup of

Catastrophic Health Expenditure and Household Well-Being [PDF]

, 2008
According to the catastrophic health expenditure methodology a household is in catastrophe if its health out-of-pocket budget share exceeds a critical threshold. We develop a conceptual framework for addressing three questions in relation to this methodology, namely: 1. Can a budget share be informative about the sign of a change in welfare? 2.

Closed‐form stress solution and minimum safe burial depth correction for shallow‐buried large‐diameter energy storage chambers

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study develops a closed‐form solution for stress analysis of shallow‐buried large‐diameter compressed air energy storage (CAES) chambers, explicitly incorporating free surface, lateral pressure, and gravity gradient effects. Validated against numerical simulations, the solution accurately captures stress redistribution and reveals upward migration

Catastrophic health expenditure and associated factors among adult diabetes patients at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia

BMC Health Services Research
Introduction Out-of-pocket health expenditures pose a substantial financial burden for millions of people worldwide. Diabetes patients without financial protection often face catastrophic out-of-pocket health expenditure. However, the catastrophic out-of-
