The plasters of the Sacro Monte of Varallo Sesia. From the characterisation to the proposition of a restorative mix

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2014
In this paper, the systematic physical-chemical characterisation of historical plasters of the Sacro Monte of Varallo Sesia, Italy, the study of the local constructive techniques, as well as the evaluation of new restoration plasters is presented.

Influence of citric acid on the fire behavior of gypsum coatings of construction and structural elements

Materiales de Construccion, 2021
To improve the workability in gypsum plasters, additives are sometimes used, including citric acid, which provides acceptable setting times for low w/g ratios, maximizing the mechanical properties of the material. The influence of citric acid on the fire

Nascent Extracellular Matrix Converts Biomaterial Cues into Cell Fate Decisions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovers a tri‐directional interplay among cells, hydrogels, and their nascent extracellular matrix. Hydrogel norbornene modification alters CD44‐mediated cell–hydrogel interactions, which shape nascent matrix deposition, composition, and spatial organization.

Evaluation of lime plaster on masonry walls in historical buildings prior to renovation

Budownictwo i Architektura
This study analysed a quantitative assessment of the adhesion of lime plasters to the substrate in a historic neo-Gothic building. The diagnostics of the plasters were conducted to preserve their large surface area due to their historical value. The use

Construction Trade Work Is Associated With Accelerated Decline in Kidney Function

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Construction workers are exposed to airborne particulates, organic solvents, and metals—agents linked to elevated risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Few studies have evaluated whether construction trade work is associated with longitudinal changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a key indicator of kidney function.

Integrated microanatomy and microstructure of the maxillary tooth plate reveal a reinforced feeding system and tougher diet in Late Triassic Hyperodapedontinae (Rhynchosauria, Archosauromorpha)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hyperodapedontine rhynchosaurs possessed a unique oral apparatus, long interpreted as an adaptation for processing abrasive and resistant plant material. However, the microanatomical and histological evidence supporting this interpretation remains poorly documented.

Anatomy and variation in the paraphyletic Mosasaurus lemonnieri assemblage from the Craie phosphatée de ciply, Belgium

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Nineteenth century excavations of the Ciply‐Malogne Phosphatic Chalk Formation in Hainaut, Belgium, yielded over 50 partial mosasaur skeletons, the majority of which were referred to the species Mosasaurus lemonnieri Dollo, 1889. In the years since, this taxon has experienced a complicated taxonomic history, and its exceptional hypodigm has ...

Optimizing Strategies for Non‐Invasive Prospection of Settlements in the Intertidal Zone: A Case Study From the Centre of the Drowned Medieval Village of Tolsende (Scheldt Estuary, the Netherlands)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Medieval and early modern drowned villages in the intertidal zone of the Scheldt estuary (the Netherlands) constitute intriguing yet largely understudied components of north‐western Europe's underwater cultural heritage. Despite their high archaeological potential as time capsules of past settlement landscapes, research has remained limited ...
