Emerging Role of Splenic Macrophage in Malaria Pathogenesis and Immunity

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Malaria, caused by Plasmodium parasites, remains a leading global health concern, impacting millions of people globally. Splenic macrophages are specialized immune cells that reside in the spleen and play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and immune response during malaria.

Punching Strengthening of Concrete Slab-column Connections Using Near Surface Mounted (NSM) Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Bars

Journal of Engineering Research and Reports, 2020
This paper investigates experimentally the effect of near surface mounted (NSM) carbon fiber reinforcement polymer (CFRP) bars as externally strengthening on the punching shear behavior of interior slab-column connections. Many researchers used NSM as a novel strengthening technique in various structural elements.

Nanotechnology-enhanced Near-Surface Mounted-Fibre Reinforced Polymers (NSM-FRP) structural retrofitting

, 2023
This thesis was submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy and was awarded by Brunel University London The retrofitting of concrete structures using fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) bonded with neat epoxy (NE) adhesives, while proven efficient, has faced challenges related to interfacial debonding at FRP-NE and/or concrete-NE interfaces.

Analytical model to predict crack width and spacing of reinforced concrete elements externally strengthened with fiber reinforced polymers

Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 6375-6402, October 2025.
Abstract Cracking behavior in Reinforced Concrete (RC) elements externally bonded with Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials is still not well assessed in the literature. Few experimental data are, indeed, available about crack spacing and crack width in these elements, with reference to strengthening made of both epoxy bonded plates (EBR technique)

STRENGTHENING OF SELF-COMPACTED CONCRETE TWO WAY SLABS WITH OPENING USING NEAR SURFACE MOUNTED (NSM) FIBER REINFORCED POLYMERS (FRP) TECHNIQUE

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
Abstract The effectiveness of near-surface-mounted carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers on strengthening of self-compacted concrete two-way slabs with opening was investigated experimentally. The experimental work included testing eighteen specimen two-way slabs with an opening, which included 6 control specimens and 12 strengthened with ...

Development, Optimization, and Application of Molecularly Imprinted Polymers‐Solid Phase Extraction Procedure for the Analysis of Selected Pharmaceuticals in Vegetable Samples

Journal of Food Science, Volume 90, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The growing presence of pharmaceutical residues in the environment has aroused worries about their possible buildup and accumulation in the food chain, particularly in edible plants. Conventional analytical methods frequently fail to selectively isolate and quantify trace amounts of these chemicals in complex plant matrices.

Picoliter‐Volume Isothermal Titration Calorimetry Using Parylene Chip Calorimeter Integrated with on‐Demand Droplet Microfluidics

Small, Volume 21, Issue 32, August 14, 2025.
A parylene chip calorimeter integrated with on‐demand droplet microfluidics enables on‐chip isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) using picoliter‐volume droplets. This platform quantifies thermodynamic parameters of the 18‐crown‐6 and barium chloride binding system with high power resolution, while dramatically reducing sample consumption, analysis ...
