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
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
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
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.

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.

Corrosion resistant thermal barrier coating [PDF]
A thermal barrier coating system for protecting metal surfaces at high temperature in normally corrosive environments is described. The thermal barrier coating system includes a metal alloy bond coating, the alloy containing nickel, cobalt, iron, or a ...
