Influence of Compressive Strength of Concrete on Shear Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Near Surface Mounted Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer

Buildings, 2021
This paper investigates the effect of using near-surface mounted carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (NSM-CFRP) on the shear strengthening of rectangle beams with low strength concrete (f′c = 17 MPa), medium strength concrete (f′c = 32 MPa), and high ...

Evaluations of the effectiveness of the near‐surface mounted steel materials in strengthening short RC wall‐like columns with openings

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In practice, reinforced concrete (RC) wall‐like columns often have openings to facilitate building services, which creates stress concentrations around the opening, resulting in the weakening of their load‐carrying capacity. This study proposes innovative strengthening methods using near‐surface mounted (NSM) incorporating steel materials to ...

Experimental study of the influence of adhesive properties and bond length on the bond behaviour of NSM FRP bars in concrete

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2016
The near-surface mounted (NSM) fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) technique is a relatively recent system for strengthening concrete structures. Bond is a key factor in its behaviour, and is affected by many factors whose influence can only be tested through

Chromosome‐Level Genome and Organ‐Specific Transcriptome of Alnus glutinosa Uncover Lineage‐Specific Innovations in Root Nodule Symbiosis

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 3003-3021, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Alnus glutinosa is one of only three lineages within the order Fagales capable of establishing root nodule symbiosis (RNS). Although a fragmented genome assembly of A. glutinosa was previously available, its limited quality, combined with the lack of comprehensive transcriptomic resources, has constrained in‐depth comparative and functional ...

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 ...

G Protein–Coupled Receptors in Olfactory Signaling and Related Disorders: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications

Sensory Neuroscience, Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2026.
This schematic highlights GPCRs as the central hub of olfactory signaling in health and disease. The central GPCR shows odorant activation and downstream pathways. Surrounding quadrants illustrate four GPCR‐mediated themes: odor perception and adaptation, mucosal immunity and regeneration, memory consolidation via neural circuits, and GPCR‐related ...

Advancing urine‐derived stem cells: Cryopreservation validation and sex‐specific metabolism

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 56, Issue 1, January 2026.
Urine‐derived stem cells (UDSC) are a non‐invasive, easily accessible source of stem cells with robust differentiation potential. We developed a cryopreservation protocol for UDSC isolated from healthy donors, assessing viability, apoptosis/necrosis, metabolic profile and differentiation capacity.

Immune Modulation by Plasmodium yoelii: Insights From Lethal and Non‐Lethal Strains

Parasite Immunology, Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Malaria pathogenesis is driven by intricate host–parasite interactions that determine immune balance and clinical outcome. The Plasmodium yoelii model, particularly its lethal (17XL) and non‐lethal (17XNL) strains, provides a robust framework to investigate these dynamics.
