Probing Salt‐Induced Changes in the Self‐Assembly Behavior of Gemini Surfactants Using Scattering and Spectroscopic Techniques

This study investigates how Gemini surfactants (GSs) with varying alkyl chain lengths and spacer architectures regulate interfacial behavior, self‐assembly, and the photophysical response of Merocyanine 540 (MC540) in aqueous media. Tensiometric measurements demonstrate that incr...

Assessment of Steel Slag and Rubber-Coated Aggregate as Ballast Based on Model Track Tests

Abstract A series of model track tests were conducted to investigate the effect of loading frequency ( f ) on the deformation and degradation characteristics of unreinforced and geogrid-reinforced steel-slag ballast (SSB) and rubber-coated ballast (RCB) under clean and coal-foule...

Adaptive multi-scale attention-enhanced V-NET for accurate and efficient multi-shell diffusion MRI estimation

Multi-shell acquisition protocols sample diffusion signals at different b -values. While higher b -values (e.g., \(b = 2000\, \mathrm {s/mm^2}\) ) offer increased sensitivity to microstructural features, their acquisition is time-intensive and suffers from reduced signal-to-noise...

Cyclic behavior of clayey lumps intruded quaternary alluvial sand in the Indo-Gangetic Plain: an experimental assessment

The dynamic behaviour of soils under cyclic loading is a key concern in geotechnical engineering, particularly in seismic-prone regions. The Middle Ganga Plain is characterised by unique geomorphological features, containing collapsible cohesive alluvial lumps that naturally form...

Analysing Urban Environmental Dynamics through Multi-Sensor Remote Sensing and Deep Learning: An Integrated Classification-Regression Framework

Urban centers worldwide are facing changes in terms of environmental standards and an increase in temperatures.Recent significant developments, particularly in developing nations, have led to an increase in Land Surface Temperature (LST) and surface thermal variations in urban ar...
