Shear behaviour of high-strength concrete beams by He, Lihua.

“…The experimental investigation conducted in this project is important to evaluate the current design methods used for shear design of HSC beams, and the theoretical model proposed in this research for reinforced concrete element is capable of predicting not only the ultimate shear strength but also the load-deformation response of concrete elements subjected to in-plane shear and normal stresses.…”

Mean-field approximation for networks with synchrony-driven adaptive coupling by Fennelly, N, Neff, A, Lambiotte, R, Keane, A, Byrne, A

“…We explore two distinct implementations of this plasticity: pairwise updates to individual coupling strengths and global updates applied to the mean coupling strength. We derive a mean-field approximation and assess its accuracy by comparing it to θ-neuron simulations across various stability regimes. …”

Isolation and characterisation of a novel cysteine-rich peptide from momordica charantia seeds by Low, Ee Lynn

“…In this study, we identified and isolated a novel cysteine-rich peptide from the seeds of Momordica charantia using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, chemical modification of cysteine residues, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry to identify a molecular weight of 3139 Da corresponding to the novel peptide. …”

Load‑bearing behaviors of sandwich plates with non‑uniformly distributed grid cores : Static compression and bending by Hao, Ning, Wang, Youlong, Song, Yiheng, Ruan, Sihan, Quanjin, Ma, Wang, Ziying

“…Under bending loading, most NUGPs experience local failure at the loading head, while the specific category surpassing GPs undergoes shear buckling in longer grid walls. (3) Deformation modes of the core layer, mechanical analysis, thin plate buckling theory, and equivalent bending stiffness calculations elucidate the load-bearing mechanisms of NUGPs. These findings enhance topology optimization research for sandwich plates, provide guidance for grid wall arrangements under different loading conditions, and offer insights for designing lightweight sandwich structures.…”

The need for pre-emptive control strategies for mpox in Asia and Oceania by Gan, Gregory, Janhavi, A., Tong, Guan, Lim, Jue Tao, Dickens, Borame L.

“…Across the simulations with no vaccination, 68.2%–89.7% of the MSM community will become infected with mpox across the different cities, over a simulation period of 1 year. By implementing vaccination strategies, the infection rate across the cities can be reduced to as low as 3.1% of the population (range: 3.1%–82.2%) depending on the implementation and uptake of the vaccine. …”
