Hydrogen Production from Ammonia Electrochemical Cracking.

Evolution characteristics of seepage-stress fields and optimization of waterproof-drainage system during operation period of urban tunnels with small interval

The long-term structural safety issues of water-rich tunnels under complex hydrogeological conditions during operation period and their mutual interaction mechanism with groundwater environment are receiving increasing attention. To study t...

Effects of Titanate Coupling Agent on Engineering Properties of Asphalt Binders and Mixtures Incorporating LLDPE-CaCO3 Pellet

This study was initiated to evaluate the performance of asphalt binders and mixtures incorporating linear low-density polyethylene- calcium carbonate (LLDPE-CaCO3) pellet, either with or without titanate coupling agent. The detailed manufac...

Effects of adding bamboo fiber on various aspects of concrete performance: A state-of-the-art review

This review systematically examines the role of bamboo fiber (BF) in enhancing the performance of cement-based composites, with a particular focus on workability, mechanical properties, durability, and sustainability. BF, as a renewable and...

The Integrity and Tightness of Underground Hydrogen Storage Systems: A Critical Review of Geological Barriers, Well Sealing, Leakage Risks and Future Perspectives

Underground storage of green hydrogen is a strategic enabler of large-scale renewable deployment, but its feasibility rests on a hard problem: keeping a small, highly mobile molecule confined underground for decades without safety or enviro...

Structural performance of FRP composite bars reinforced rubberized concrete compressive members: Tests and numerical modeling

Waste tyre rubber has become an environmental and health concern that needs to be sustainably managed to avoid fire hazards and save natural resources. This research work aims to study the structural behavior of glass fiber reinforced polym...

Cracking rare disorders: a new minimally invasive RNA-seq protocol

Abstract RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has become key to complementing exome and genome sequencing for variant interpretation. We present a minimally invasive RNA-seq protocol using short-term cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) ...

A study on the flexural behaviour of lightweight concrete beams reinforced with pumice, silica fume and carbon fibers

Lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) incorporating pumice aggregates offers a sustainable alternative to conventional concrete, enabling a reduced self-weight while maintaining adequate strength and stiffness for structural applications. T...

Genome‐wide association studies of fruit quality traits in jujube germplasm collections using genotyping‐by‐sequencing

Abstract Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) is an important fruit crop and harbors many highly diverse traits of potential economic importance. Fruit size, stone size, and fruit cracking have an important influence on the commercial val...

Quantum Computing

There are signs that we are approaching a technical revolution that might take humankind’s computational capabilities to a new level. Quantum Computing leverages the principles of quantum mechanics, enabling the computational power to solve...

Cracking the code: AI’s role in mapping evidence syntheses to the United Nations sustainable development goals

Abstract Background Understanding the alignment and contributions of research to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) is essential for guiding global progress toward these critical targets. Several SDG mapping approach...
