Time‐Variant Seismic Fragility of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Piers Considering Degradation Phenomena

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aging and environmental exposure progressively deteriorate the physical and mechanical properties of construction materials, thereby affecting the safety and functionality of existing infrastructure. Corrosion of steel rebars in reinforced concrete structures is widely acknowledged as the most common and detrimental degradation phenomenon, as ...

A Novel Bipolar DC Connection Strategy for Photovoltaic Power Plants With a 50% Reduction in DC Cabling Length

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Bipolar configuration is a new topology in the direct current (DC) system of photovoltaic power plants, which is topologically analogous to the bipolar configuration utilised in High‐Voltage Direct Current power transmission systems. DC cable length and copper usage are reduced by 50% using a bipolar configuration.

Pulsed wave tissue Doppler imaging of the left ventricle in foals: Feasibility, inter‐ and intra‐observer variability and wave pattern over the first days of life

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) may improve the assessment of myocardial function in neonatal foals. Objectives To document the feasibility of left ventricular pulsed wave (PW) TDI, inter‐ and intra‐observer variability and wave pattern over the first 5 days of life. Study Design Prospective observational study.

Engineering a Multifunctional g‐C3N4/TiO2 Active Packaging Film With Enhanced Barrier and Photocatalytic Properties for Postharvest Preservation of Plum Fruit

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
The engineered g‐C3N4/TiO2@PVA active packaging film efficiently degrades exogenous ethylene under LED irradiation, effectively suppressing the endogenous ripening pathway of “Wushan” plums. Combined with enhanced barrier properties, this multifunctional film significantly delays the climacteric respiration peak and extends fruit shelf life.

Predominance of In‐Field Recurrence After Radiotherapy for Sinonasal Cancer: A Single‐Center Retrospective Study

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sinonasal malignancies (SNM) are rare, heterogeneous tumors with poor prognosis. There is an unmet need to improve treatment outcomes. Despite advances in imaging and molecular classification, optimal curative radiotherapy (RT) strategies remain undefined.
