Computational analysis to assess hemodynamic forces in descending thoracic aortic aneurysms

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Left: Pre‐processing. First, we perform the segmentation of the Computer Tomography angiorgraphy (angio‐CT) scans of a healthy patient, obtaining the surface of a healthy thoracic aorta with a Type III aortic arch. Then, we build nine ideal configurations with Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (DTAA), varying the aortic arch ...

Recycling of Polymer Components From Waste Face Masks for Asphalt Modification: A Mini Review

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 2, January 10, 2026.
ABSTRACT The COVID‐19 pandemic greatly increased plastic waste through widespread personal protective equipment (PPE) use, creating a serious environmental challenge. Disposable face masks (FM), primarily composed of non‐biodegradable polypropylene, account for an estimated 86 million units discarded monthly, leading to significant environmental ...

Greenhouse gas considerations in rail infrastructure in the UK [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Transportation-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions account for an increasing proportion of total emissions in the UK and globally. The provision of rail transit is popularly proposed to reduce transport GHG emissions, but the provision of new ...

Laboratory and Theoretical Investigation of Freshwater Production From Improved and Conventional Solar Desalination Ponds

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 13, Issue 12, Page 6050-6068, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The increasing global population and declining freshwater availability have intensified the need for sustainable water treatment solutions, particularly in arid and semiarid regions. Solar desalination ponds offer a cost‐effective and environmentally friendly alternative for freshwater production; however, their efficiency remains limited by ...

A streamlined approach for probabilistic pavement life‐cycle performance prediction via physics‐informed neural networks

open access: yesComputer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 28, Page 5136-5152, 28 November 2025.
Abstract Pavement life cycle management (LCM) is essential for assessing the long‐term environmental and economic impacts of roadway infrastructure by means of pavement life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle cost analysis (LCCA). However, pavement LCA and LCCA studies frequently overlook the use phase due to the limited availability of performance ...

A Dry‐Mechanical Approach for Scrap Recycling of Dry‐Processed Lithium Ion Battery Cathodes

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, Volume 15, Issue 39, October 21, 2025.
A dry‐mechanical, non‐toxic, and profitable delamination and granulation process is designed for the scrap recycling of polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)‐based dry‐processed cathodes. The low adhesion of the PTFE‐based composite to the current collector enables the mechanical, non‐destructive recovery of the composite, leaving the secondary particle ...
