The effects of biomineralization on the localised phase and microstructure evolutions of bacteria-based self-healing cementitious composites
Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is one of the most effective
mechanisms to achieving self-healing abilities in cementitious composites. However, there has only been limited understanding of the effect of the...
Effect of carbonation on bacteria-based self-healing of cementitious composites
Self-healing cementitious composites are being developed to respond to the high cost of repair and maintenance of infrastructure. A promising solution is the use of bacteria to induce calcium carbonate precipitation within...

Piezoresistivity and piezopermittivity of cement-based sensors under quasi-static stress and changing moisture
Integrated cement-based sensors offer an economic alternative to extrinsic sensors for health monitoring applications in concrete structures due to their high strength to cost ratio, geometrical versatility, low shrinkage, and...

Genetic analysis of wheat sensitivity to the ToxB fungal effector from Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, the causal agent of tan spot
Abstract: Key message: Genetic mapping of sensitivity to the Pyrenophora tritici-repentis effector ToxB allowed development of a diagnostic genetic marker, and investigation of wheat pedigrees allowed transmission of sensitive...
Nanoscale residual stress depth profiling by Focused Ion Beam milling and eigenstrain analysis
Residual stresses play a crucial role in determining material properties and behaviour, in terms of structural integrity under monotonic and cyclic loading, and for functional performance, in terms of capacitance, conductivity...
Trilepton events and B(s) ---> mu+ mu-
We study the Tevatron search potential for minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) and find two observables which reveal complementary information on the mSUGRA parameter space: the “gold-plated” decays of charginos/neutralinos to...
The effect of eigenstrain induced by ion beam damage on the apparent strain relief in FIB-DIC residual stress evaluation

FIB milling using Ga ions is known to be accompanied by implantation, multiplication of material defects, material property modification (e.g. amorphisation), inelastic shrinking/swelling and residual stress generation. These...

Effect of Pt deposition on digital image correlation analysis for residual stress measurement using FIB-DIC ringcore method

FIB-DIC ringcore milling is an attractive semi-destructive method of measuring microscopic residual stress. Ensuring the accuracy and reliability of DIC analysis of sample surface deformation is critical for correct stress...

Fit by adaptation or fit by founding? A comparative study of existing and new entrepreneurial cohorts in China
Extant research provides ambiguous views on the network adaptability of existing ventures and new ventures during environmental change. Applying an institutional perspective, this research aims to provide a clearer picture by...

Elucidating the Mechanism of Fatigue Crack Acceleration Following the Occurrence of an Underload

Fatigue Crack Growth Rate (FCGR) is altered by a single anomalous load exceeding cyclic maximum (Overload) or compressive load below cyclic minimum (Underload). The authors study fatigue crack acceleration due to a single...

Digital image correlation of 2D X-ray powder diffraction data for lattice strain evaluation

High energy 2D X-ray powder diffraction experiments are widely used for lattice strain measurement. The 2D to 1D conversion of diffraction patterns is a necessary step used to prepare the data for full pattern refinement, but...

Direct contact membrane distillation of refining waste stream from precious metal recovery

Precious metals, such as platinum group metals (PGMs) with distinct catalytic activity, are widely used as active components in various industrial catalysts. It is, therefore, highly desirable to recover these valuable...

The relationship between alcohol intake and falls hospitalization
AIM: To evaluate the relationship between habitual alcohol consumption and the risk of falls hospitalization. METHODS: The EPIC-Norfolk is a prospective population-based cohort study in Norfolk, UK. In total, 25 637 community...
