Small, EarlyView.Little is known about the effects of polystyrene nanoplastics (PS‐NPs) on gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons, which control puberty onset and fertility. By applying tailored in vitro GnRH neuron models, this article shows how PS‐NPs are internalized and impact hormone secretion and cell migration, through gene expression changes. Ultimately,

Acid Resistant and Highly Silver Selective Membranes Based on Charged Nanoporous 2D‐Materials
Small, EarlyView.In this work, new membranes based on charged & nanoporous nanosheets with unprecedented selectivity to silver versus a wide range of other metallic ions are reported. Furthermore, a demonstrated and lead specific intralamellar lead pathway is demonstrated. A potential applicability for ubiquitous silver in WEEE is validated.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The decisive reinforcement of thick concrete members is often determined by the minimum reinforcement for crack control due to restraint stresses. In contrast to the heuristic design model in Eurocode 2, a mechanically sound methodology is only provided if the deformation compatibility is considered.

Punching shear in flat slab systems – Experimental quantification of unconsidered system influences
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Due to the demand for slender and functional buildings, flat slabs are a frequently used load‐bearing element in buildings. However, the concentrated load introduction at the slab‐column connection is often the governing detail in design due to punching shear failure.

Performance of two‐to‐one non‐contact post‐installed lap splices
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Post‐installed lap splices ensure the continuity of steel reinforcement in concrete‐to‐concrete connections by overlapping cast‐in (CI) reinforcing bars (rebars) with post‐installed (PI) rebars. Typically, the design of such splices follows provisions originally intended for CI lap splices, despite the differences in execution and bond ...

Strip loading in steel fiber reinforced concrete: Experimental and theoretical investigation
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Fiber reinforced concrete is becoming increasingly popular in engineering practice due to its high robustness, post‐cracking behavior, and crack control. For strip loading, as common, for example, in longitudinal joints of tunnel lining segments, the use of fiber reinforced concrete has the potential to reduce conventional reinforcement ...

VIEW, EarlyView.Unilateral mastication, a common oral habit, induces cognitive decline in rats by disrupting hippocampal cholesterol metabolism. It triggers astrocyte hyperplasia, enhances cholesterol synthesis, impairs transport/degradation, and reduces 24‐hydroxycholesterol (24‐OHC), ultimately damaging synaptic function.

Research Progress on Upper Airway Cough Syndrome
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Upper airway cough syndrome (UACS) has been identified as a significant contributor to chronic cough in various national guidelines. However, the complexity of its pathogenesis, the lack of clarity surrounding its diagnostic criteria, and its overlap with other etiologies of chronic cough present considerable challenges in both diagnosis and ...
