Study on the Fire Resistance of Castellated Composite Beams with Semi-Rigid Restraints

Buildings
To study the fire resistance of castellated composite beams with semi-rigid restraints, temperature rise tests with constant loads were performed on two full-scale castellated composite beams with circular holes and semi-rigid restraints to compare the ...

Blood pressure effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists: Mechanisms, trial evidence and Real‐world data

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists modestly lower blood pressure across diverse patient populations, including those without diabetes. These effects appear largely independent of glycaemic control and offer additive value in high‐risk patients with overlapping comorbidities.

Engineering Mechanically Adaptive Nanonetworks for Long‐Life and High‐Capacity Silicon Anode Batteries

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Silicon anodes, with a theoretical capacity of ~ $\unicode{x0007E}$3860 mAh g−1, offer more than ten times the lithium storage of graphite but suffer from large volume expansion during lithiation, leading to particle fracture, electrical disconnection, and unstable solid–electrolyte interphases (SEIs).

Effects of Biotin on a Fluorescein‐Based Photosensitizer Revealed by Multiscale Computational Modeling

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Biotinylation of a fluorescein‐based photosensitizer enhances its performance in PDT through a synergistic dual action. In addition to Type II singlet oxygen generation common to both dyes, the biotinylated system induces stronger membrane perturbation and higher local accumulation in lipid membranes, associated with increased water permeability and ...

Loss of POGLUT2/3‐mediated O‐glucosylation produces lung and aortic phenotypes reminiscent of fibrillin1 mutants

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fibrillins provide a scaffold for elastic fiber formation, which enables lung recoil and aortic compliance. Abnormal fibrillin microfibrils, as in Marfan syndrome, lead to enlarged alveoli, vascular stiffening, and aneurysms. Our earlier studies suggested that fibrillin function depends on O‐glucosylation of its epidermal growth ...

Magneto‐responsive fibers and fabrics for soft systems

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract The combination of functional materials in fiber form has led to a surge in the integration of functional fibers and fabrics into soft systems that span sensing, communication, and actuation domains. A key subset is magnetic fibers and fabrics.
