Rate of reusable and recyclable waste in construction
Construction solid waste has caused serious environmental problems. Reuse, recycling and reduction of construction materials have been advocated for many years, and various methods have been investigated.

This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

Computer simulation model: Construction Analysis for Pavement Rehabilitation Strategies.
Most state highways in the United States were built during the 1960s and 1970s with an infrastructure investment of more than $1 trillion. They now exceed their 20 year design lives and are seriously deteriorated.

Evaluation of lime plaster on masonry walls in historical buildings prior to renovation
This study analysed a quantitative assessment of the adhesion of lime plasters to the substrate in a historic neo-Gothic building. The diagnostics of the plasters were conducted to preserve their large surface area due to their historical value. The use

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

Structural integrity of engineering components made of functionally graded materials [PDF]
Functionally graded materials (FGM) are composite materials with microstructure gradation optimized for the functioning of engineering components. For the case of fibrous composites, the fibre density is varied spatially, leading to variable material ...

Evaluation of engineering characteristics of stabilized rammed-earth material sourced from natural fines-rich soil [PDF]
Rammed earth construction is an ancient technique using local soils that are compacted to form structural elements. This method has attracted renewed interest throughout the world due to its social, economic, and environmental benefits.

The Influence of Cl- and Ca2+ on the Passive Film of 00Cr10MoV Steel in Simulated Concrete Solution
The influence of Cl- and Ca2+ on the naturally growing passive film of a new, alloyed stainless steel with 10% Cr and 0% Ni was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, Mott-Schottky curves, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and ...
