Support for a reciprocal effects model of self-concept and academic achievement through a contrast of multidimensional and unidimensional approaches

, 2006
There is a longstanding debate in the self-concept literature surrounding the causal ordering of self-concept and academic achievement. Some researchers have argued that self-esteem has no positive impact upon performance (Baumeister, Campbell, Krueger &

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Analytical Study of Force–Displacement Behavior and Ductility of Self-centering Segmental Concrete Columns

International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials, 2017
In this study the behavior of unbonded post-tensioned segmental columns (UPTSCs) was investigated and expressions were proposed to estimate their ductility and neutral axis (NA) depth at ultimate strength.

Pathways and pitfalls: a qualitative study of student experiences in biomedical science education

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biomedical science students from underrepresented backgrounds face barriers including financial strain, disrupted laboratory access and cultural exclusion. Peer networks provide vital support when institutional systems are difficult to navigate. To create inclusive learning environments and achieve academic success, educators should blend active, hands‐

Large-Scale Testing of a Novel Self-Centering Brace with U-Shaped Plates for Seismic Energy Dissipation

CivilEng
Energy-dissipating braces are novel structural components as they not only accommodate the seismic energy demand but also enhance both the flexibility and overall earthquake resistance of the structure, preventing brittle or non-ductile behavior.

Aging Is a Key Driver for Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a classical age‐related hematologic malignancy, and a key driver of AML is aging, which profoundly regulates intrinsic factors such as genomic instability, epigenetic reprogramming, and metabolic dysregulation, and alters bone marrow microenvironment.
