Basalt powder as a sustainable precursor in alkali‑activated materials: a critical review of performance, mechanisms, and durability

Journal of Engineering and Applied Science
The environmental burden of Portland cement (PC) production has intensified interest in low-carbon binder alternatives, among which alkali-activated materials (AAMs) have gained significant attention due to their reduced clinker demand and enhanced ...

Housing quality differentials in urban areas [PDF]

Journal of Urban Economics, 1991
Abstract This paper applies an equilibrium quality theory for differentiated products to estimate the willingness to pay for improvements in the air quality of Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Houston, and Indianapolis. The empirical results show (i) that the structural approach and the standard nonstructural approach give very different benefit figures ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Synergistic perspectives—How single‐molecule biophysics complement biochemical understanding

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how ensemble biochemistry and single‐molecule approaches are complementary, outline commonly used single‐molecule techniques, and illustrate their relevance through two representative case studies: chromatin organization by SMC complexes and pathway choice during DNA double‐strand break repair.

Calcium formate as a modifier agent for calcium hydroxide-activated slag cement

Journal of Engineering and Applied Science
Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2, or CH) presents a sustainable, cost-effective, and safer alkaline activator for slag compared to traditional activators like NaOH and sodium silicate. However, its application is constrained by the lower mechanical strength of
