Near surface mounted CFRP laminates for shear strengthening of concrete beams [PDF]

Cement and Concrete Composites, 2006
A Near Surface Mounted (NSM) strengthening technique was developed to increase the shear resistance of concrete beams. The NSM technique is based on fixing, by epoxy adhesive, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) laminates into pre-cut slits opened in the concrete cover of lateral surfaces of the beams.

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

LES and RANS for turbulent flow over arrays of wall-mounted obstacles

, 2006
Large-eddy simulation (LES) has been applied to calculate the turbulent flow over staggered wall-mounted cubes and staggered random arrays of obstacles with area density 25%, at Reynolds numbers between 5 × 10^3 and 5 10^6, based on the free stream ...

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proximity‐dependent labeling at the LAMTOR complex revealed the Rho GEF PLEKHG3 as a lysosome‐proximal protein directing the study toward the influence of lysosome positioning on actin dynamics and cell motility. We show that PLEKHG3 colocalizes with lysosomes at focal adhesion sites and observe that forced peripheral dispersion of lysosomes hinders ...

Serviceability limit state of two-way reinforced concrete slab strengthened with different techniques

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
The experimental results for service load of sixteen simply supported two way reinforced concrete slabs under the action of concentrated patch load were determined based on the amount of permissible deflections and the crack widths.All the slabs had the ...

Parametric investigation of flexural performance of concrete prisms retrofitted with near-surface mounted FRP bars

Composites Part C: Open Access, 2023
This study investigates the impact of flexural retrofitting on the load-bearing capacity, ductility and failure modes of concrete prisms using the NSM-FRP technique, considering four design parameters.

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Golgi enzymes are retrieved from the plasma membrane to the trans‐Golgi network

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Golgi enzymes are traditionally considered resident proteins retained within the Golgi apparatus. Here, we demonstrate that a subset transiently reaches the cell surface and is subsequently retrieved to the trans‐Golgi network via retrograde transport. Using a nanobody‐based toolkit, we uncover a dynamic trafficking cycle of several Golgi enzymes.
