Optimizing the embodied carbon of the product stage of reinforced concrete columns

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The construction sector faces urgent sustainability challenges. This study quantifies the potential for reducing embodied carbon in reinforced concrete columns by optimizing concrete strength and reinforcement ratios. The interplay between concrete compressive strength (20–90 MPa), reinforcement percentages (0.2%–2.0%), and embodied carbon ...

Using large language models to analyze political texts through natural language understanding

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Large language models (LLMs) offer scalable alternatives to human experts when analyzing political texts for meaning, using natural language understanding (NLU). Qualitative NLU methods relying on human experts are severely limited by cost and scalability.

Developing a core outcome set for generalized anxiety disorder during the perinatal period: Identifying core treatment outcomes in perinatal anxiety

British Journal of Clinical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Generalized anxiety disorder during the perinatal period (pGAD) is highly prevalent and associated with adverse outcomes for both mother/birthing person (BP) and child. Yet, most treatment studies rely on researcher‐selected outcomes that may not reflect patient priorities.

Potentiation effects of the positive allosteric modulator PTC‐174 on NMDA receptors in neonatal male rat substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Positive allosteric modulators bind to secondary binding sites on the receptor and alter receptor conformation and activation, changing agonist potency and efficacy. PTC‐174 is a novel NMDA receptor positive allosteric modulator that particularly enhances activity of receptors containing GluN2C or GluN2D subunits.

Impact Indexes Comparison Study Using Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) on Innovative Cement Bound Granular Material Pavement Layers

, 2023
In the last decades, the need to perform experiments with innovative new materials to be used in civil engineering and replace Portland Cement (PC) by embracing the concept of circular economy and environmentally sustainable engineering. PC production is responsible each year of 8% of the total CO2 emitted into the atmosphere, for this reason, it is ...

Genetic Associations of Functional Longevity With Sexual Precocity and Growth Traits in Nellore Beef Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Functional longevity (FL) is a complex trait that integrates many attributes directly contributing to the successful retention and productivity of a cow within the herd. Consequently, improving FL in beef cattle increases herd profitability. This study aimed to estimate the genetic associations between two alternative FL definitions and traits

Dynamic Capabilities as Drivers of Circular Business Models: Exploring Direct and Indirect Relationships

Journal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Academic Summary Despite the urgent need for a circular economy, firms' transition from linear to circular business models (CBMs) remains slow. While previous research suggests that dynamic capabilities are the key drivers of this transition, it assumes a direct link, overlooking that these capabilities can facilitate change but do not ...

Navigating the Zero Fluoroscopy Frontier: Current Tools, Evidence and Future Directions in Electrophysiology Procedures

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Graphical Abstract ABSTRACT Fluoroscopy has traditionally been the mainstay imaging technique for guidance during electrophysiology (EP) ablation procedures. The numerous disadvantages associated with radiation exposure for both operators and patients have created the need for zero‐fluoroscopy (ZF) approaches. Today, electrophysiologists have access to
