Comprehensive Evaluation of Commercial Antibodies for High Sensitivity Detection of EPO‐Doping on Western Blots

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
A large‐scale evaluation of 164 commercially available anti‐human EPO antibodies was conducted to identify an alternative to clone AE7A5 anti‐EPO antibody used in doping control for the detection of erythropoiesis‐stimulating agents (ERAs) on Western blots.

Motion planning and control of an installation robot for attitude adjustment of arc parts in underground shield tunneling

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Inspired by spiders, the multilegged walk‐through assembling robot for arc parts achieves high‐precision synchronous control under heavy loads through dual‐layer hydraulic pose dynamics modeling and hierarchical pressure optimization, significantly enhancing shield tunneling assembly efficiency and precision.

Study on the composite fracture characteristics of filling and reinforcing cracked rock mass after high temperature damage

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Cement infill shares compressive and shear stresses during loading, while interfacial friction hinders crack propagation and reduces stress concentration, improving the rock's load‐bearing capacity. Failure modes vary with crack inclination. Unfilled specimens show four modes.

Carbon emission assessment of tunnel infrastructures: From construction to operation

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study develops a lifecycle carbon accounting framework for tunnel infrastructures, covering design, construction, operation, maintenance, and dismantling. Applied to a subsea tunnel case, the framework reveals the carbon emission distribution among four typical tunnel types and highlights potential carbon offset methods for low‐carbon tunnel ...

Investigation on the mechanical behavior of the multiple‐layered lining structure of a water conveyance tunnel with high internal water pressure

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study presents large‐scale similarity model testing (geometric ratio 3.6) of an innovative multiple‐layered lining system—comprising exterior precast segments, middle self‐compacting concrete, and an interior steel pipe—for high‐pressure (0.75 MPa) water conveyance tunnels.

Steel segment–anchor bolt (cable) structure for TBM tunnels under extremely intense rockburst conditions: Design method and field application

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract presents a steel segment–anchorage support system for open TBM tunnels under extremely intense rockburst conditions. The steel segment resists dynamic impact, while the anchorage structure restrains segment deformation and transfers loads into the rock.

Kv3.1 activation suppresses provoked and spontaneous seizures in a mouse Dravet syndrome model

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective γ‐Aminobutyric acidergic (GABAergic) parvalbumin‐positive (PV+) interneurons are critical for maintaining cortical inhibitory tone, with their dysfunction predictably leading to epilepsy. Rapid PV+ interneuron firing is essential for their normal function and is maintained in part by potassium voltage‐gated channels.

A Parametric Computational Framework for Modeling and Seismic Design of Post‐Tensioned Mass Timber Rocking Walls

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber (PT‐CLT) rocking walls offer a compelling seismic system combining self‐centering behavior with energy dissipation. However, progress in their performance assessment and design has been limited by the lack of a comprehensive parametric modeling tool, as exists for steel or reinforced concrete systems. This
