Improvement of the mechanical properties of sodium carbonate-activated slag-based binders
Materials Research ExpressThis study investigates the possibility of accelerating the slow early reaction process of sodium carbonate (SC) activated slag (GGBFS) mixtures by adding a small amount of calcium oxide (quicklime, CaO) or calcium hydroxide (hydrated lime, Ca(OH) _2 ...

Medicine for the Material World
Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT It is clear that many of the inorganic materials of antiquity have been used both as medicines for human ills and also as agents in technological processes. This paper speculates that there might have been a stronger link between these two functions in the past, based on the concept of “active agents”—materials that are efficacious at curing ...

Competitive interactions modify the direct effects of climate
Ecography, EarlyView.As the climate is changing, species respond by changing their distributions and abundances. The effects of climate are not only direct, but also occur via changes in biotic interactions, such as competition. Yet, the role of competition in mediating the effects of climate is still largely unclear.

Bone Grafts: Everything You Need to Know
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.This review classifies bone grafts (autograft, allograft, xenograft, synthetic) by source and osteogenic/inductive/conductive potential, linking material properties and mechanisms to clinical indications in periodontal and dental regeneration. Key challenges—limited osteoinduction, poor vascularisation, unbalanced resorption, handling difficulties, and

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...
