Pros and Cons of Bernini's Design for the Louvre: Monumentality Without Dome, Pediment or Free‐Standing Column and Its Drawbacks

open access: yesJAPAN ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW, Volume 9, Issue 1, January–December 2026.
ABSTRACT In the 17th‐century Louvre expansion project, many architects used free‐standing columns, domes and large pediments for its east elevation. These elements helped give the elevation, over 150 m wide, the monumentality the court wanted, while also providing the appropriate articulation. Bernini was probably the only architect who did not use any

Influence of longitudinal reinforcement on development of normal cracks

open access: yesJournal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2005
Using a model of normal crack propagation in reinforced concrete members, an analytical expression is presented for the stress intensity factor defining the intensity of stress in area at the crack tip. This factor is in linear relationship to the stress

Quantitative X‐Ray Fluorescence Imaging to Evaluate the Efficacy of Micro‐Structured Cellulose Foams and Poultices in Wall Painting Desalination

open access: yesChemistry–Methods, Volume 6, Issue 1, January 2026.
This work assesses, through a quantitative micro energy dispersive X‐ray fluorescence imaging, the effective use of micro‐structured cellulose foams as a sustainable alternative to traditional poultices for desalinating fresco paintings. Foams were between 6 and 10 times more efficient, achieving rapid and in‐depth salt removal with reusability and ...

Accelerated Flowering and Differential Florigen Gene Expression of Seagrass Zostera marina Under Experimental Warming

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Flowering is an important trait for the resilience of seagrasses. Using a native seagrass, Zostera marina, we applied a common garden approach to experimentally test how flowering and its underlying molecular mechanisms responded to elevated water temperature (+3°C).
