Optimizing Rebar Consumption and Cutting Waste in Column Reinforcement: Integrated Mechanical Couplers and a Special-Length-Priority Minimization Algorithm

Buildings
The construction of reinforced concrete (RC) structures inevitably consumes an excessive number of rebars, leading to significant cutting waste and carbon emissions.

Indicators of maternal anxiety, stress, and depression and developmental outcomes in preterm children: A systematic review

Infant Mental Health Journal: Infancy and Early Childhood, Volume 47, Issue 4, July 2026.
Abstract The study was conducted in Brazil and aimed to systematically review empirical research examining the association between maternal indicators of anxiety, stress, and depression and the developmental outcomes of preterm children. A literature search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, EMBASE, Scopus, LILACS, and SciELO ...

Non-Contact Lap Splices in Dissimilar Concretes

, 2015
Non-contact lap splices placed within a single concrete placement are often used and have been studied in previous research projects. However, non-contact lap splices used with each bar in a different concrete placement such that there is a cold joint ...

The Deformation Capacity of Lap Splices in RC Walls: From Experimental Testing to Numerical Modelling

, 2019
Field observations as well as experimental tests have shown that both the strength and displacement capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) members might be significantly reduced by the presence of lap splices.

The Value of Five Novel Anthropometric Indicators in Evaluating MASLD and Liver Fibrosis in MASLD: A Cross‐Sectional Study

JGH Open, Volume 10, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Metabolic dysfunction‐associated fatty liver disease (MASLD) is the most prevalent chronic liver disease globally. Early screening is critical for preventing liver fibrosis (LF) and cirrhosis, but liver biopsy and imaging are costly and less accessible in primary care settings.

Evaluating the Splice Effect on the Flexural Performance of RC Beams Reinforced with Hybrid and GFRP Rebars

International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials
Lap splices play a critical role in the flexural performance of reinforced concrete (RC) members, particularly when non-ductile reinforcement, such as glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars, is used.

Extracellular matrix and proteolysis: mechanisms driving irreversible changes and shaping cell behavior

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 13, Page 3788-3813, July 2026.
Irreversible ECM proteolysis by remodeling enzymes shapes development, homeostasis, and disease. ECM‐degrading proteases display cell specificity and are governed by shared mechanisms, exhibiting functional redundancy in generating matrikines, growth factors, and cytokines.
