Influence of curing procedures and porosity in the flexural resistance of concretes for paving
Flexural strength of high performance concrete submitted to several non-standard curing conditions was evaluated through bending tests on beams in order to allow comparisons among different curing procedures.

Multiferroic order parameters – polarization, magnetization, and ferroelastic strain – are positioned as dynamic design variables for batteries. Their mechanistic roles, practical tuning through fabrication and external fields, and ferroic‐resolved characterization routes are unified into a closed‐loop framework, revealing how coupled ferroic responses

L-Shaped Steel Collars: An Alternative External Confining Retrofit for Improving Ductility and Strength of Rectangular Concrete Columns [PDF]
Confinement in concrete column has been well known to improve its strength and ductility. Such enhancement is primarily essential when needed to improve the behavior of concrete columns particularly in terms of ductility during the earthquake strike ...

A Phosphorylation‐Induced Micellization Switch in the Low‐Complexity Domain of TDP‐43
Phosphorylation of TAR DNA‐binding protein's 43 kDa (TDP‐43) low‐complexity domain by casein kinase 1 delta (CK1δ) acts as a molecular switch, redirecting its self‐assembly from macroscopic phase separation toward finite‐sized, spherical block‐copolymer micelles of ∼30 nm.

Closing the Empirical Loop: Autonomous AI Agents Conduct End‐to‐end Research With Human Participants
A multi‐agent AI system autonomously executes the complete scientific workflow, from hypothesis to manuscript, across three psychological studies involving 288 participants. The system designs experiments, collects real world data, develops analysis pipelines, and writes manuscripts with theoretical rigor comparable to experienced researchers.

Systemic platelet factor 4 (PF4) is significantly depleted in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Peripheral PF4 replenishment restores central proteostasis by driving OPTN‐dependent, PINK1‐independent selective autophagy in motor neurons. This intervention effectively clears toxic SOD1 aggregates, blunts glial activation, and preserves neuromuscular ...

Intrinsic Phonons as a Dynamic Control Knob for Catalytic Reactivity in 2D Materials
Intrinsic phonon excitations are demonstrated to serve as a dynamic control knob for catalytic reactivity in 2D materials. Mode‐selective lattice vibrations reconstruct the electronic structure, lower oxygen evolution reaction barriers, establishing a phonon‐engineering paradigm for dynamically regulating electrocatalysis beyond conventional static ...

Development of phenolic concrete mixes and structural behaviour of phenolic concrete components [PDF]
This work relates to the development of a method of preparing a filled phenolic resin, for use particularly, but not exclusively, in building materials. The method includes mixing filler and micro-filler, a catalyst, resin and a hetrocyclic alcohol (i.e.
