Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The implementation of traditional steel reinforcement in 3D concrete printed structures is a major challenge. Although 3D‐printed structures may be used as formwork, the knowledge about their structural contribution is limited. This research aims to experimentally evaluate the structural performance of reinforced concrete prisms with 3D ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The increasing use of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) offers significant environmental benefits by reducing construction and demolition waste; however, its fracture performance and damage evolution under elevated temperatures remain insufficiently understood, particularly when recycled aggregates are derived from metakaolin modified parent ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study explores the potential of high‐volume amorphous silica (SiO2) replacement for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in concrete to reduce carbon emissions. Amorphous SiO2, such as silica fume (SF) and CO2 mineralization‐produced Si‐rich gel, offers superior properties to concrete but is under‐researched for its use in concrete with high ...

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Natural radionuclides in cement and gypsum production materials pose significant risks of occupational radiation exposure that are not well documented in Iraqi Kurdistan. This study quantifies alpha and gamma radiation levels from naturally occurring radioactive materials, specifically 222Rn, 238U, 232Th, and 40K, in cement and gypsum samples ...

Nested Selves: Self‐Organization and Shared Markov Blankets in Prenatal Development in Humans
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract The immune system is a central component of organismic function in humans. This paper addresses self‐organization of biological systems in relation to—and nested within—other biological systems in pregnancy. Pregnancy constitutes a fundamental state for human embodiment and a key step in the evolution and conservation of our species. While not
