Experimental study on effects of multi-column removal affecting behaviour of RC frames to mitigate progressive collapse by Ye, Da Wei

“…Various studies were conducted in the last decade with majority focusing on instances whereby only a single load bearing member, such as a column, was removed. However, in most real life accidental situations (terrorist attack/ vehicular impact) involving progressive collapse, they will often result in heavy initial impact that will lead to multi-column loss in a RC structure. …”

Mechanistic Studies of Interfacial Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer to Molecularly Defined Surface Sites by Lewis, Noah B.

“…Despite I-PCET reactions’ integral role in electrochemical energy storage and value-added chemical synthesis, molecular-scale models for I-PCET mechanisms have historically been lacking. The general heterogeneity and dynamism of electrode surfaces make it difficult to identify relevant surface active sites and therefore nearly impossible to correctly assign changes in reactivity between surface-based or electrolyte-based effects. …”
