Numerical study on dynamic response of a novel ribbed thin-walled UHPC box-type utility tunnel under gas explosion

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials
At present, RC utility tunnels are widely used in urban utility tunnels. As a typical confined space, the complex load effect generated by the internal gas explosion of the gas tank of utility tunnel may lead to local damage or overall destruction of the

Recent Advances in Carbon Materials for Cathodes and Interlayers in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

open access: yesSmall Structures, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
This review examines dimensional carbon materials (0D–3D) as hosts and interlayers for Li–S batteries. It details how structural morphology, heteroatom doping, and catalytic functionalization effectively mitigate the polysulfide shuttle effect, manage volume expansion, and accelerate redox kinetics.

MultiBlock‐SwinUNet: A Noise‐Robust Framework for Crack Segmentation of Multi‐Class Concrete in CT Images

open access: yesIET Image Processing, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
Existing methods often struggle to balance accuracy and robustness against complex interference such as noise and artefacts inherent in industrial CT imaging. To overcome these limitations, we propose an innovative framework named MultiBlock‐SwinUnet. This architecture is designed to enhance feature extraction for different categories of concrete and ...

Life-cycle low-carbon design and assessment of UHPC beams integrating flexural capacity requirements

open access: yesLow-Carbon Materials and Green Construction
The excellent mechanical properties of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) will reduce the cross-sectional size of UHPC beams, resulting in a decrease in the amount of UHPC and the carbon emission.

Towards Efficient Use of Cement in Ultra High Performance Concrete

open access: yesNordic Concrete Research, 2021
This paper presents an investigation on substituting the cement content with an inert material, in a typical locally produced UHPC mix. A structured literature review was performed to enrichen the discussion and to benchmark the results towards already ...

Plastid establishment did not require a chlamydial partner [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Primary plastids descend from the cyanobacterial endosymbiont of an ancient eukaryotic host, but the initial selective drivers that stabilized the association between these two cells are still unclear.

Tensile Performance of Prefabricated Tank Walls Connected Using Ultrahigh‐Performance Concrete

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Prefabricated tank structures are a widely used form of industrialized construction, yet the behavior of connections between precast segments remains insufficiently explored. Since the mechanical properties of these connections govern the structural performance of prefabricated tanks, this study introduces a novel joint detail employing cast‐in‐place ...
