Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Pages 11590: Revolutionizing Concrete Bridge Assessment: Implementing Nondestructive Scanning for Transformative Evaluation 12 diciembre, 2024
This study focused on analyzing the impact of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) scan spacing on accurately assessing the reinforcement of concrete bridge girders, providing practical insights. A decommissioned bridge box beam was evaluated to unveil rebars and tendons’ depth and spacing. The box beam was decommissioned from the West Virginia Division of Highways inventory. An innovative […]

Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Pages 11523: On Transient Stability Problems in DC Microgrids 11 diciembre, 2024
Transient stability, i.e., the ability of power systems to maintain synchronism when subjected to a severe disturbance, has extensively been investigated in AC grids. This article reveals that similar transient stability problems (but with different features) also exist in DC microgrids, as caused by the violation of power-transfer limitations between DC generators and grids. Through […]

Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Pages 11585: Freeze–Thaw Damage Characteristics of Soil–Rock Mixtures in Open-Pit Coal Mines and Stability Analysis of Slopes in Discharge Sites Based on Partial Flow Code 11 diciembre, 2024
More than 80% of open-pit coal mines in China are located in northern regions, and the mechanical properties and stability of loose soil–rock mixtures in waste disposal sites are significantly affected by freeze–thaw effects. This article takes the external dumping site of the Baorixile open-pit coal mine in the northern high-altitude region of the Inner […]

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 5856: A Simple Surface Treatment for Improving the Adhesive Bonding Properties and Durability of an AlMg3 Alloy 12 diciembre, 2024
The structural adhesive bonding of aluminum is widely used in the aircraft and automotive industries. The surface preparation of aluminum prior to adhesive bonding plays a significant role in improving the bonding strength. Surface cleanliness, surface roughness, and surface chemistry can be controlled, primarily, by proper surface treatment methods. In this study, the effect of […]

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 5833: Non-Invasive Characterisation of Bromoil Prints by External Reflection FTIR Spectroscopy 11 diciembre, 2024
The bromoil process, developed in 1907, was a photographic technique highly esteemed by pictorialist photographers for its capacity for image manipulation, which aligns its expressiveness with traditional pictorial techniques. Despite the artistic and technical value of bromoils and their prevalence in renowned collections, there is little research on their composition and structural characteristics. This study […]

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 5855: Nanotechnology-Based Strategies for Safe and Effective Immunotherapy 11 diciembre, 2024
Cancer immunotherapy using immune checkpoint blockades has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach. However, immunotherapy faces challenges such as low response rates in solid tumors, necessitating strategies to remodel the immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) into an immune-activated state. One of the primary approaches to achieve this transformation is through the induction of immunogenic cell death […]

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 5841: Research on the Adsorption Mechanism and Performance of Cotton Stalk-Based Biochar 11 diciembre, 2024
In this research, we produced two types of biochar (BC) using cotton stalks as raw material and KOH as an activator, and compared their performance and adsorption mechanisms in the removal of tetracycline (TC) and methylene blue (MB) from wastewater. The results showed that the biochar generated using both procedures formed pores that connected to […]

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 5853: Removal of Ciprofloxacin and Norfloxacin from Aqueous Solution with Activated Carbon from Cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum) Bark 11 diciembre, 2024
The widespread use of antibiotics such as fluoroquinolones (FQs) has raised environmental and health concerns. This study is innovative as we investigate the removal of ciprofloxacin (CIP) and norfloxacin (NOR) from water using activated carbon derived from cupuaçu bark (CAC). This previously discarded biomass is now a low-cost raw material for the production of activated […]
