Cardiovascular β‐Adrenergic Receptor Distribution and Function: Influence of Species, Sex, Age, and Tissue

open access: yesComprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 3, June 2026.
Estrogen modulates β‐AR signaling in a context‐dependent manner influenced by species, sex, age, tissue, and vascular health, highlighting challenges in translating findings from experimental models to human cardiovascular physiology. ABSTRACT Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading global cause of morbidity and mortality, with notable sex‐specific ...

“Flames Over Persepolis”: New Scientific Evidence Supporting Historical Perspectives

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 421-433, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the burning of Persepolis Terrace, historically attributed to Alexander III in 330 bce. A review of classical accounts and excavation reports, combined with diagnostic surveys, confirms the fire's historicity and provides novel insights.

Effect of Transient Creep on the Structural Performance of Reinforced Concrete Walls under Fire

open access: yesBuildings
This paper investigates and reveals the effect of the high-temperature transient creep on the structural performance of RC walls under fire. A theoretical model is established, which explicitly includes the transient creep and accounts for the explosive ...

INCIPIENT SPALL, CRACK BRANCHING, AND FRAGMENTATION STATISTICS IN THE SPALL PROCESS

open access: yesLe Journal de Physique Colloques, 1988
Energy based theories of spall fracture and fragmentation are examined. A concept of energy-limited and flaw-limited spall emerges naturally within one of these theories. Conditions favoring incipient spall and crack branching in the spall process are identified.

Continued Involvement: A Scoping Review on Family Members' Needs and Experiences Collaborating With Support Staff for Relatives With Intellectual Disabilities Living Outside the Family Home

open access: yesJournal of Intellectual Disability Research, Volume 70, Issue 6, Page 561-578, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Family members' involvement in the care for their relative often continues after their relative has moved out of the family home. However, little is known about the needs of family members when collaborating specifically with support staff caring for their relative.

Influence of Sample Preparation and Processing Procedures on the Thermal Diffusivity of MgO‐C Refractories

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 10, 20 May 2026.
The thermal diffusivity of MgO‐C refractories is highly sensitive to sample preparation and processing procedures. In this article, the effects of coking sequence, machining conditions, structural inhomogeneity, and graphite coating application on measurements using laser flash apparatus are systematically investigated.
