Experimental study and numerical analysis on mechanical behavior of GFRP-concrete composite beam by Yonghui Huang, Chenxi Shao, Shaofeng Huang, Airong Liu

“…Firstly, experimental results show that the ductility of the specimens will be improved by arranging the CFRP sheets on GFRP web, and the mechanical characteristics of GFRP-concrete composite beams are greatly affected by the thickness of the concrete plate. The bolt spacing not only affects the connection between concrete and GFRP but also affects the flexural performance of the composite beams. …”

Primary microstructure characterization of Co-20Ni-9Al-7W-3Re-2ti superalloy by Tomaszewska A.

“…The performed analysis revealed that the observed effect of alloying elements segregation was detectable and much stronger than for Co-9Al-9W and Co-20Ni-7Al-7W alloys, related to titanium, nickel, and aluminium migration to inter-dendritic spaces. Consequently, the tungsten concentration gradient between dendritic and interdendritic zones was higher than for Co-9Al-9W and Co- 20Ni-7Al-7W alloys. …”

Chartres et sa proche campagne au haut Moyen Age (fin Ve – fin Xe siècle). Topographie urbaine et péri-urbaine, analyse de structures et étude du mobilier : un premier bilan by Cyrille Ben Kaddour

“…Although many obstacles to a real synthesis exist (little detailed studies of dark earth, funerals deposits, human bones and few 14C dating), archaeological data provide informations on the urban development of Chartres in early Middle Ages with regards to: withdrawal of the urban fabric, lack of defined boundaries of urbanized areas, reorganization resulting from the creation of Christian Holy places and burial spaces.…”

A Complete Coverage Path Planning Algorithm for Lawn Mowing Robots Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning by Ying Chen, Zhe-Ming Lu, Jia-Lin Cui, Hao Luo, Yang-Ming Zheng

“…In particular, Re-DQN improves the stability of the training process through a dynamic incentive layer and achieves more comprehensive area coverage and shorter planning times in high-dimensional continuous state spaces. Simulation results show that Re-DQN outperforms the other algorithms in terms of performance, convergence speed, and stability, making it a robust solution for comprehensive coverage path planning. …”

Effects of Ischemic Acute Kidney Injury on Lung Water Balance: Nephrogenic Pulmonary Edema? by Rajit K. Basu, Derek Wheeler

“…Traditionally, the contribution of acute kidney injury (AKI) to the formation of pulmonary edema has been attributed to bulk fluid accumulation, increasing capillary hydrostatic pressure and the gradient favoring net flow into the alveolar spaces. Recent research has revealed more subtle, and distant, effects of AKI. …”

Collaborative interfacial shear capacity of adhesive bonding and novel shooting nail for steel plate strengthening concrete structures by Mingxue Xu, Lei Ren, Zheng Shi, Xiaogang Liu

“…Afterward, FEA was utilized to investigate the influencing parameters on the collaborative contribution of adhesive bonding and shooting nails to interfacial shear capacity, including concrete strength, steel plate thickness, and nail spacing. On these bases, theoretical analysis of the additional interfacial shear contribution of shooting nails to steel place-concrete interface was conducted. …”

Quantifying the survival uncertainty of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes in a spatial model by Martin Strugarek, Nicolas Vauchelet, Jorge P. Zubelli

“…3) What happens if one accounts for uncertainty in the release protocol (e.g. unequal spacing among release points)?We build a framework based on existing reaction-diffusion models for the uncertainty quantification in this context,obtain both theoretical and numerical lower bounds for the probability of release successand give new quantitative results on the one dimensional case.…”
