Fatigue failure of welded connections at orthotropic bridges by Z.H. Qian, D. Abruzzese

“…Orthotropic decks were applied to the long span bridges after World War II due to several advantages, such as light weight, high strength, few deck joints, durability, rapid construction, life-cycle economy. The fatigue problem of orthotropic decks was realized twenty years ago since fatigue failure was found. …”

L’élaboration collective de cartes mentales, une démarche didactique structurante pour l’apprentissage du vivre-ensemble à l’école by Christophe Marsollier

“…Based on socio-constructivist conceptions, according to which the practice of democratic debates contributes to the construction of moral judgement in children and teenagers (Piaget, 1932, Xypas, 2003), we show how, in the light of analysis of practices carried out in a class of CM2 pupils, the elaboration of mind maps by the teacher and /or the pupils, during discussions of an educational nature, both structure and promote this approach to learning. …”

Cyclodextrin-assisted fluorescein decoration of gold nanoclusters for ratiometric and selective Hg2+ analysis by Siyuan Sun, Zhiqin Yuan

“…IntroductionThe construction of nanomaterial-based ratiometric detection systems usually requires covalent modification, which undergoes reactive environments and may change the natural properties of supporting nanomaterials.MethodsIn this study, dualemissive and fluorescein-decorated gold nanoclusters (F-Au NCs) through cyclodextrin-supported host–guest interaction (non-covalent modification) are explored as ratiometric Hg2+ nanoprobes through d10–d10-interactioncaused fluorescence quenching of Au NCs.Results and DiscussionThe fluorescein decoration only provides a fluorescent internal reference but does not change the Hg2+-Au NCs affinity nature. …”
