Parental Exposure to Nanoplastics and Graphene Oxide Induces Transgenerational Toxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pollution by emerging contaminants such as nanoplastics (NPs) and graphene oxide (GO) represents a growing threat to global health and ecosystems. This study investigated the effects of parental exposure, both isolated and combined, to 100 μg/L NPs (polystyrene, spherical, 100 nm) and 100 mg/L GO, using Caenorhabditis elegans as ...

Thermo-mechanical compatibility of CFRP versus steel reinforcement for concrete at high temperature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Optimization of the design of concrete structures has become a driver for the use of nonconventional reinforcing materials. One example of this is the emerging use of non-corrosive, highstrength, and lightweight carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP ...

Optimization of Land Pattern in Mining Area Based on the Improvement of Ecosystem Service Function—A Case Study of Fushun Mining Area

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mining activities are prevalent worldwide and pose significant threats to the supply of ecosystem services (ESs) for humanity. Many mining areas face challenges related to recovery and reclamation following resource depletion. A key challenge for the sustainable development of these areas is how to achieve collaborative optimization of land ...

Influence of FRP anchors on FRP-to-concrete bonder interfaces

open access: yes, 2015
Existing reinforced concrete (RC) structural members such as beams, columns and joints can be strengthened and repaired with externally bonded high-strength and light-weight fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. The effectiveness of such strengthening can, however, be limited by premature debonding of the FRP at strains well below the strain ...

Breathe, Eat, Talk: Three Essential Ingredients to Quality‐of‐Life Outcomes in Movement Disorders

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Breathing, eating, and talking (BET) impairments are common yet frequently underrecognized features of movement disorders. Deficits in respiration, swallowing, voice, and speech may emerge early in the course of a disease, adversely affecting safety, participation, and quality of life.

Experimental Comparative Analysis of Hole‐Making Strategies and Cutting Parameters on Flexural Properties and Induced Delamination in S2 Glass and Basalt Fiber‐Reinforced Polymers

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Hole‐making strategy and machining parameters influence delamination and hole quality in S2‐glass and basalt FRP composites, which subsequently affet flexural performance. Improved hole integrity leads to enhanced structural performance during three‐point bending.
