Reinforced concrete column design for minimal embodied carbon emissions by Siddiq Amsyar Bin Shalan

“…Although there are efforts that have been put into practise to minimize embodied carbon emissions, more can be done to further curtail carbon emissions in a systematic way that could guide structural engineers in their daily design tasks. …”

Evolutionary shifts in the thermal biology of a subterranean mammal: the effect of habitat aridity by Merchant, H, Hart, D, Bennett, N, Janse van Vuuren, A, Freeman, M, McKechnie, A, Faulkes, C, Mordaunt, N, Portugal, SJ

“…Subterranean mammals representing a single subspecies occurring along an aridity gradient provide an appropriate model for investigating adaptive variation in thermal physiology with varying levels of precipitation and air temperature (Tair). …”

What the visual system can learn from the non-dominant hand: The effect of graphomotor engagement on visual discrimination by Ben-Ami, Shlomit, Buaron, Batel, Yaron, Ori, Keane, Kyle, Sun, Virginia H., Phillips, Flip, Friedman, Jason, Sinha, Pawan, Mukamel, Roy

“…Instead, our results are in agreement with the symbolic theoretical account, suggesting that basic shape features required for discrimination can be acquired through visual inspection alone, providing a perspective on the improvements observed in prior studies.…”

Optimum Model-Based Design of Diagnostics Experiments (DOE) with Hybrid Pulse Power Characterization (HPPC) for Lithium-Ion Batteries by Rhyu, Jinwook, Zhuang, Debbie, Bazant, Martin Z, Braatz, Richard D

“…We validate that these protocols are effective through minimization of uncertainty, and robust with Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations. Contrary to traditional HPPC diagnostics which use fixed pulse magnitudes at uniformly distributed state of charges (SOC), we find that well-designed HPPC protocols using our framework outperform traditional protocols in terms of minimizing both parametric uncertainties and diagnostic time. …”

Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) can be suppressed under ammonia-stressed condition - reevaluate the role of conductive materials by Yan, Wangwang, Mukherjee, Manisha, Zhou, Yan

“…This study investigated the effects of three widely studied conductive materials, i.e. zero-valent iron (ZVI), magnetite nanoparticles (Mag.) and powder activated carbon (PAC), on THP-AD process. Results showed that all the tested materials could effectively stimulate methanogenesis process under non-ammonia inhibition conditions. …”

Hybrid free space optics/radio frequency communication for next generation wireless networks by Sharma, Shubha

“…However, the FSO link is highly susceptible to atmospheric effects like pressure and temperature, which cause atmospheric turbulence along the propagation path. Attenuation due to fog, misalignment, and pointing errors are other major factors, which can cause FSO link failure. …”

Gene expression regulation by well-known non-coding RNAs by Tan, Jiazi

“…In addition, we report that a uridine residue at position +4 of the 5’ss can establish a non-canonical base pair with a pseudouridine in U1, thus contributing to 5’ss recognition. …”
