Deterioration and Cracking in Reinforced Concrete Bridges
Reinforced concrete structures are subjected to several sources of deterioration that can cause a progressive reduction in performance. Among the existing infrastructure typologies, reinforced concrete half-joint bridges are particularly critical. This common structural configuration is characterised by a reduction in depth at the supports.

One‐dimensional C4N2H14PbBr4 is shown to have a quasi‐direct electronic band structure and strongly anisotropic transport with polarized broadband emission. A GW/Bethe–Salpeter excited‐state force formalism, supported by polarized Raman and temperature‐dependent photoluminescence, identifies low–frequency Pb–Br phonons that drive ultrafast exciton self‐

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation
In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.
