Asymmetrical liquid crystal dimers with 1,2,3-triazole bent-mesogenic core: synthesis, characterization and theoretical studies

This work reports new liquid crystal dimers containing an alkoxy spacer that connects 1,4-disubstituted triazole-bent core with a rod-like esterified biphenyl mesogenic core and a Schiff base with terminal cyanobiphenyl group. The structures of these dimers were elucidated using...

Dual-model deep learning for detecting and classifying dental abscesses, cysts, and tumours on orthopantomograms: a histopathology-referenced diagnostic study

Differential diagnosis of periapical and intra-osseous jaw lesions is a recurring clinical challenge that still depends on invasive, costly histopathological examination. Deep learning applied to routine panoramic radiography offers a potential non-invasive triage aid, but most p...

A performance-based classification framework for standardising FA/GGBFS geopolymer binder systems

Abstract The necessity of reducing CO₂ emissions resulting from cement production has increased the demand for supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), such as fly ash (FA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS). However, the widespread adoption of these materials h...
