The Healing Process of the Joints between Buffer Material Blocks and the Influence on Solute Migration by Rui Zhou, Yuemiao Liu, Tao Xu, Yufeng Gao

“…The higher the average dry density of the buffer material is, the lower the final average permeability and diffusion coefficient are, whereas the distribution of joints and the block splicing are less affected by the average dry density of the buffer material. …”

Mitigating GNSS Multipath Effects Using XGBoost Integrated Classifier Based on Consistency Checks by Dengao Li, Xiaoli Ma, Jumin Zhao, Fanming Wu

“…Under the influence of urban building roads, especially interference from multipath effects, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver-related output signal distortion can affect the robustness of the positioning system and the final positioning accuracy. To deal with the above problems, this paper proposes a two-layer consistency-checks (CC) positioning model based on eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) integrated learner. …”

Influence of Air Temperature on the Performance of Different Water-Reducing Admixtures with Respect to the Properties of Fresh and Hardened Mortar by Wilson Ricardo Leal Silva, Luiz Roberto Prudêncio, Alexandre Lima Oliveira, Gabriela Damo, Eduardo Tochetto

“…Moreover, mixture temperature was monitored and time-temperature curves were plotted in order to assess whether the admixtures affected cement hydration reactions at different temperatures. The final results indicate that an increase in temperature leads to an increase in saturation dosage; lignosulfonate had the most pronounced retarding effect, followed by polycarboxylate, and finally, naphthalene, and considering the weather conditions in the area where the study was carried, the final finding would be that the naphthalene-based admixture had the best performance.…”

Positioning Performance of Power and Manual Drivers in Posterior Spinal Fusion Procedures by J. Micah Prendergast, Alexander C. Perry, Vikas V. Patel, Emily M. Lindley, Mark E. Rentschler

“…A total of 100 screws (64 manual and 36 power driven), all placed utilizing a surgical navigation system, were analyzed and compared. Final screw placement was compared to initial surgical plans using the navigation system, and the final screw locations were analyzed on the basis of angular deviation from these planned trajectories as well as screw translation within a critical reference plane. …”

A Compressive Review on High- and Low-Temperature Performance of Asphalt Modified with Nanomodifier by Limin Li, Lingming Yang, Yuliang Lin, Xiancai Zhang

“…The results indicate that for high- and low-temperature performance of asphalt binder, the effectiveness of nanomodification is found to be strictly influenced by the combination of original asphalt type, nanomodifier type, nanomodifier dosage, nanoparticle size, and preparation of nanomodified asphalt, and the high-temperature antirutting performance and low-temperature crack resistance of final blends are various with the combination. Chemical composition, microstructure, dispersion, and compatibility of final blends were the possible reason causing the difference. …”

Post-retrieval noradrenergic activation impairs subsequent memory depending on cortico-hippocampal reactivation by Hendrik Heinbockel, Gregor Leicht, Anthony D Wagner, Lars Schwabe

“…In a three-day study, we measured brain activity using fMRI during initial encoding, 24 hr-delayed memory cueing followed by pharmacological elevations of glucocorticoid or noradrenergic activity, and final recall. While post-retrieval glucocorticoids did not affect subsequent memory, the impairing effect of noradrenergic arousal on final recall depended on hippocampal reactivation and category-level reinstatement in the ventral temporal cortex during memory cueing. …”
