Experimental and design‐oriented research on fiber reinforced concrete segmental tunnel linings: A systematic review

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The use of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in precast tunnel segments is among the most established and representative applications of this material. Over the past two decades, numerous tunnel linings were constructed with partial or total substitution of conventional steel reinforcement by fibers, this yielding to quantifiable benefits in ...

Taking Stock: Elite Studies and Social Change

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article provides a systematic synthesis of contemporary elite sociology through the analytical lens of change and stability. We distinguish between two types of change: change within elites, referring to transformations in elite composition, circulation, or internal characteristics; and change by elites, designating processes whereby ...

The use of activated carbon derived from spent coffee grounds as a reusable, sustainable, and effective solution for the removal of butylparaben from water

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 8, Page 1547-1558, August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Parabens, including butylparaben (BP), are widely used as antimicrobial preservatives in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, yet are poorly removed by conventional water treatment processes and pose potential risks to aquatic life and human health.

Multilinear Regression–Based Rock Physics Template Modeling for Sandstone Reservoir Characterization

Scientific Contributions Oil and Gas
Rock Physics Templates (RPT) are widely used to link petrophysical parameters with elastic properties for fluid identification in reservoir characterization. Previous studies have demonstrated the potential of RPT for fluid detection method; however, well-defined procedures for determining rock matrix parameters and P-wave velocity (Vp) as the basis ...
