Extrapancreatic actions of incretin-based therapies on bone in diabetes mellitus [PDF]
Diabetes mellitus is correlated with modifications in bone microarchitectural and mechanical strength, leading to increased bone fragility. The incretin hormones, with a classical effect to increase insulin secretion following food ingestion, are now

STEEL FIBER CURVATURE IN CONCRETE COMPOSITES: MODULUS PREDICTIONS USING EFFECTIVE STEEL FIBER PROPERTIES [PDF]
Results in the literature demonstrate that substantial improvements in the mechanical behavior of concrete have been attained through the addition of steel fibers as a reinforcing phase. We have developed a model combining finite element results and micromechanical methods to determine the effective reinforcing modu-lus of hook-ended steel fibers. This

Fibre concrete is a commonly improved concrete. Compared with ordinary concrete, it has more excellent characteristics and has been widely used in engineering structures and other fields. This paper describes the mechanical properties of polypropylene fibres, steel fibres, and hybrid fibres (steel fibres and polypropylene fibres); it discusses the use ...

Corrosion effects on pullout behavior of hooked steel fibers in self-compacting concrete [PDF]
Fiber reinforced concrete structures are subjected to chloride and carbonation penetration that could initiate corrosion of steel fibers, with eventual pernicious consequences in terms of structural and durability performance.

Lightweight SFRC benefitting from a pre-soaking and internal curing process [PDF]
The presented research program is focused on the design of a structural lightweight fiber-reinforced concrete harnessing an internal curing process. Pre-soaked waste red ceramic fine aggregate and pre-soaked artificial clay expanded coarse aggregate were

Steel fiber/polyethylene terephtalate composites
Abstract Currently, lightweight materials with high performance have been strongly needed to meet the requirements of advanced structural materials. One of the promising lightweight materials is the metals fiber reinforced plastic composite, which usually gives good specific strength and high toughness.

Mechanical behavior of entangled fibers and entangled cross-linked fibers during compression [PDF]
Entangled fibrous materials have been manufactured from different fibers: metallic fibers, glass fibers, and carbon fibers. Specimens have been produced with and without cross links between fibers. Cross-links have been achieved using epoxy spraying. The

Experimental Studies on Bond Performance of BFRP bars reinforced Coral Aggregate Concrete [PDF]
As part of this study, has been developed a numerical method which allows to establish abacuses connecting the normal force with bending moment for a circular section and therefore to predict the rupture of this type of section.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
