Evaluation of prestress losses in concrete beams using destructive and non‐destructive methods

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the past few decades, prestressing techniques have become essential in the construction of key structures, infrastructure, and bridges. The serviceability and safety of prestressed concrete (PC) elements are closely tied to the effectiveness of the prestressing process.

A Dual‐Frequency Sensitivity Model for Optical Fibre Ultrasonic Sensors in Power Transformer Partial Discharge Detection

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The detection of partial discharges (PD) on the power transformer tank demands higher sensitivity in ultrasonic detection. To target the detection frequency band for sensor optimisation and enhance sensitivity, this paper presents a dual‐frequency sensitivity model for optical fibre ultrasonic sensors.

Influence of patient factors on target plasma volume treated attainment rate during double filtration plasmapheresis in patients with hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction This study aims to investigate patient factors affecting the rate of plasma volume target attained in hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis (HTG‐AP) patients undergoing double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP). Methods A retrospective analysis of 82 HTG‐AP‐interpreted patients from January 2019 to April 2024 compared target plasma ...

Fasting blood glucose level and risk of all‐cause and cause‐specific mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients

Journal of Diabetes
Background Glycemic control is crucial in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients with diabetes. Although fasting blood glucose (FBG) is the most commonly used index to measure blood glucose levels, there is currently no evidence supporting the association ...

Photonic realization of the relativistic Dirac oscillator

, 2010
A photonic realization of the Dirac oscillator (DO), i.e. of the relativistic extension of the quantum harmonic oscillator, is proposed for light propagation in fiber Bragg gratings.

Secular Trend in Glycaemic Management in Type 2 Diabetes Patients With and Without Cirrhosis Between 2000 and 2023: A Territory‐Wide Cohort Study

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
In this territory‐wide cohort study, improving glycemic control can be observed regardless of cirrhosis status. Oral antidiabetic medication was more often used in the non‐cirrhosis group, and insulin was preferred in patients with decompensated cirrhosis, who exhibited an increasing incidence of hypoglycemia over the years and need individualized ...

Incidence, Progression and Determinants of Diabetic Retinopathy in Type 2 Diabetes in Australasia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Clinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Current evidence on incidence and progression rate of diabetic retinopathy reveals disparities across Australasia, and no pooled estimates are available to guide region‐wide planning. This review and meta‐analysis assesses the overall incidence, determinants and progression of diabetic retinopathy in Australasia.

Is it assisted migration, conservation translocation, managed relocation, or another term? Best practices for clear communication when using translocation terminology

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Translocations referred to as assisted migration, conservation translocation, managed relocation, and similar terms—which involve the intentional movement of organisms or propagative material from one area to another—can be useful for managing species and ecosystems under stress from climate change, invasive species, disease, or habitat loss. Different
