Assessment of the experimental and numerical bond-slip law of various strengthening systems in reinforced concrete elements
With the emergence and diversity of various strengthening methods in fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthened reinforced concrete (RC), understanding and comparing the bond behaviour and active bond mechanisms of these ...
Aquatic deoxygenation associated with resuspension of anthropogenic organic matter
Aquatic environments are highly polluted due to the anthropogenic pressures associated with large populations. Among these ecosystems, coastal lagoons are particularly sensitive to anthropogenic disturbances. The Mar Menor ...
Infiltration of Microfibers in Sediment Beds in Moderate- to High-Turbulent Aquatic Environments
Sediment beds of aquatic ecosystems are known to present high microplastic contamination levels, where the infiltration of microplastic particles can extend deep into the sediment. In particular, turbulence can fuel the ...
Tendencies in the Tempo of Prehistoric Agricultural Expansions
This paper reviews the data and some models of premodern farming expansions. Comparison of archaeological data and models makes it possible to estimate the relative importance of demic and cultural diffusion, as well as ...
Holistic assessment of chemical and biological pollutants in a Mediterranean wastewater effluent-dominated stream: Interactions and ecological impacts
The discharge of treated wastewater from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) into river systems is a significant source of pollution, introducing a range of chemical and biological pollutants that impact the chemical and ...
Local hydrodynamics at edges of marine canopies under oscillatory flows
Canopy fragmentation increases both spatial heterogeneity and patch edges which, in turn, is then likely to modify the local hydrodynamics in the canopy. The orientation of the edge versus the wave and current field is ...

Orthodox Private Law and Social Subordination
In Reciprocal Freedom, Weinrib offers a neat and powerful explanation of the relationship between private law, corrective justice, public law, and distributive justice. In the Kantian view, private law and corrective justice ...
REIV-TOXO Project: Results from a Spanish cohort of congenital toxoplasmosis (2015-2022). The beneficial effects of prenatal treatment on clinical outcomes of infected newborns
Background: Some regions of Spain are withdrawing their pregnancy screening program for congenital toxoplasmosis (CT). The Spanish Research Network of Congenital Toxoplasmosis (REIV-TOXO) was created to describe the current ...
Longitudinal Prediction of Mental Health Outcomes in Vulnerable Youth using Machine Learning
Mental illnesses affect almost 15% of the world's population, with half of the cases emerging before age 14. Improved methods for predicting mental distress among adolescents, particularly in vulnerable populations, are ...
Enhancing the Statistical Probability Factor in Triplet Fusion Upconversion via TIPS Functionalization.
We investigated the effect of triisopropylsilyl (TIPS) functionalization of annihilators in triplet-triplet annihilation photon upconversion on their spin statistical probability factor. A new green annihilator ...
AI Authoritarianism: Towards an Analytical Framework
This intervention offers a call for investigating the deepening alignment of artificial intelligence and authoritarian politics. The paper highlights three key features of AI that inflect the workings and logics of ...
Policubos para una 'polimatemática' en el aula
Polycubes are presented as a manipulative that, rather than helping to understand a single mathematical concept at a given level ('monomathematics'), serves as a support for understanding mathematical concepts from all ...
Participation of People With Intellectual Disabilities in the Public, Consumer and Social Spaces: Barriers and Supports
Background: Social inclusion is a fundamental right of people with intellectual disabilities who face ongoing barriers to their community participation (CRPD). Objectives: This article presents a qualitative study focused ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Photo-Crosslinkable Coumarin- Based Poly(lactic acid) as a Promising Material for 3D Printing Applications
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a biopolymer that resembles oil-based plastics in its mechanical properties. However, in manufacturing techniques such as fused deposition modeling (FDM), the inherent characteristics of the ...
Settling velocities of microplastics with different shapes in sediment-water mixtures
The widespread distribution of microplastics (MP) in aquatic systems highlights the need for a clear understanding of how they are transported and accumulate on the bottom of water bodies. Developing predictive models for ...
Exploring the Tiny World of Microplastics in Your Own “Lab”
Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic that result from the breakdown of larger plastic objects, such as water bottles, shopping bags, food containers, and many other types of waste. Microplastics can be as small as a ...
Synthetic microfibers driven by turbidity currents: Transition from smooth bed to macro-roughness
Recent research confirmed the significant role turbidity currents play in transporting microplastics (MPs) over long distances in aquatic environments. However, only a limited number of studies have specifically addressed ...
Retention of microplastics by interspersed lagoons in both natural and constructed wetlands
Natural wetlands, the transitional zones found between the land and the sea, are considered hot spots for plastic accumulation. Constructed wetlands (CW) attempt to mimic these natural wetlands in order to provide potential ...
Transport and sedimentation of microplastics by turbidity currents: Dependence on suspended sediment concentration and grain size
Using lock-exchange experiments, this study investigates the transport and sedimentation of microplastics (MPs) via turbidity currents. Two hypotheses were tested: MP sedimentation is influenced by suspended sediment ...
