Patch repair technology with sacrificial zinc anodes in RC slabs with corroded steel bars by Christian, Alvin

“…Furthermore, the highest amount of macrocell corrosion can be encountered at steel segments near the patch repair area. Compared with each sample, it was discovered that zinc sacrificial anodes installed within areas with high level of chloride contamination provided the best protection for the steel reinforcement against corrosion damage.…”

Synthesis and degradation of FtsZ quantitatively predict the first cell division in starved bacteria by Sekar, Karthik, Rusconi, Roberto, Sauls, John T., Fuhrer, Tobias, Noor, Elad, Nguyen, Jen, Fernandez, Vicente I., Buffing, Marieke F., Berney, Michael, Jun, Suckjoon, Stocker, Roman, Sauer, Uwe

“…Current models are phenomenological and specific to nutrient‐rich, exponentially growing cells, thus cannot predict the first division under limiting nutrient availability. To assess this regime, we supplied starving Escherichia coli with glucose pulses at increasing frequencies. …”

Missing links in The China Model by Li, Chenyang

“…We should not take this book as an apologetics for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) even though it offers both positive and negative assessments of the Chinese communist regime, as any fair-minded work should. There is a tendency among scholars to avoid discussing certain topics in order not to be perceived as politically motivated to help governments with a less than commendable reputation. …”

An experimental investigation on finite wings with leading-edge protuberances by Teo, Marcus Jun Jie

“…Fluid flow characteristics of wings with leading edge tubercles were experimentally investigated in a water tunnel at a Reynolds number of 13292, falling under the transitional Reynolds regime. This experiment is meant to be continuation of a pre-existing experimental study examining fluid flow characteristics of wings but with differing dimensions. …”
