Influence of calcination temperature on the durability of metakaolin concrete and limitations of conventional testing methods

Abstract Incorporating metakaolin (MK) as a partial cement replacement offers a viable pathway to reduce carbon emissions while improving concrete performance. However, its durability behavior remains inconsistent, and the applicability of durability test methods to MK‐based conc...

Varied average height and area coverage of rough surfaces on turbulent boundary layers

Abstract Turbulent boundary layer (TBL) over various area coverages of rough surfaces was studied in a wind tunnel using hot-wire anemometry. The rough surfaces are built by randomly distributed sand grains with an average of 0.7 and 0.9 mm heights, covering 12%, 25%, 38%, 55%, a...

Loss of salt iodization harmed child survival and academic achievement in Ethiopia

Abstract The introduction of salt iodization is associated with improved health and socioeconomic outcomes, but is not yet universally adopted and not always sustained. Using a quasi-experimental event study with difference-in-differences over space and time, we quantify the impa...

24-hour movement behaviour patterns differ across depressive symptom trajectories in community-dwelling older adults: a group-based trajectory model and compositional data analysis

Depressive symptoms in older adults change over time and do not follow a single uniform pattern. Whether 24-hour movement behaviour composition differs across depressive symptom trajectories remains unclear. This longitudinal secondary analysis used data from the Survey of Health...

The increasing burden of revision arthroplasty for infection and fracture: perspectives of a tertiary referral centre

Background: In public hospitals the number of complex urgent and semi-urgent revision joint replacements has increased over time, conversely the number of primary joint replacements has decreased. This study aimed to investigate the effect of this change on service delivery of el...

Exploring the impact of leadership styles on interpersonal skills and organisational success in construction SMMEs

Purpose This study investigates the impact of leadership styles on interpersonal skills and organisational success in South African construction small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs). Considering the critical role of SMMEs in the economy and their high failure rates, the re...

Frameworks to identify research gaps, frame research needs, and derive research priorities from evidence syntheses:a scoping review

Objectives To identify and describe frameworks for systematically identifying research gaps from evidence syntheses, framing research needs, and establishing priorities, with emphasis on their use of GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) certai...

Mendelian randomisation and colocalisation reveal pleiotropic effects of the CD40/SLC12A5 locus on CD40 protein, depression, and immune disease

Abstract Inflammatory pathways are implicated in depression, but the specific immune proteins and causal variants involved remain unclear. This study investigated potential causal relationships between 91 immune-related plasma proteins and depression using generalized summary Men...

Analysing toponium at the LHC using Recursive Jigsaw Reconstruction

Abstract Recent results from the ATLAS and the CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider indicate the presence of a top-quark pair bound state near the threshold region. We present a way to reconstruct a toponium state at the $$t\bar{t}$$ t t ¯ threshold region formed at the L...

Pediatric Functional Lung Imaging: A Scoping Review

Functional lung imaging enables pulmonary parameters, including ventilation, perfusion, gas exchange, and biomechanics, to be mapped and quantified noninvasively throughout the lungs. Pulmonary function testing is generally more difficult to perform in a child in comparison to an...

Are Group Interventions Effective at Improving Health Outcomes in Culturally And Linguistically Diverse (CALD) Populations With Chronic Conditions? An Umbrella Review

Abstract Culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) populations experience disproportionate burdens of chronic disease compared to the general population; previous research demonstrated group-based interventions improve health outcomes across various chronic conditions. This um...

From materials design to real-world performance in passive radiative cooling paints

Abstract Global warming arises from the net accumulation of solar energy within the Earth–atmosphere system. Passive radiative cooling paints (PRCPs) offer a scalable approach to mitigate this imbalance by reflecting solar radiation and emitting heat to outer space, thereby reduc...

The Australian Hydromyine Rodents—Their Interspecific Diversity and Reproductive Biology: A Review

Australia has a diversity of mammals, with approximately 60 extant species being native rodents in the Family Muridae. Two major groups occur, the Rattus species and the Hydromyini. Investigations on their reproductive biology have shown that all species of Rattus have large scro...

Reframing HRM for a multipolar world: insights from the Asia-Pacific region

Purpose The purpose of this anthology is to critically evaluate the role of human resource management in International Business within an increasingly multipolar, digitally disrupted and institutionally diverse global environment. By bringing together leading scholars, the collec...

X-ray computed tomography for geometallurgical ore texture analysis: Implications for comminution response

This study provides an automated workflow for downhole ore texture analysis from drill-core X-ray computed tomography (XCT) and evaluates its relevance to comminution responses. A total of 186 m of intact drill core from four drill holes in the Kalkaroo copper-gold deposit in Sou...

Customer-level factors associated with discretionary food and beverage purchasing in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community stores in remote Australia: a customer intercept survey of Healthy Stores 2020

Abstract Background Healthy Stores 2020 (HS2020), a 12-week randomised controlled trial conducted in partnership with an Aboriginal-owned retail organisation, reduced retailer merchandising and store-level purchases of unhealthy foods. Evidence on the influence of customer-level...

The effect of augmented protein intake on nitrogen balance: A nested cohort study of the TARGET protein trial

Purpose The impact of augmenting enteral protein delivery on nitrogen balance, urea generation, and kidney function in critically ill patients remains poorly defined. This study aimed to investigate these effects in a nested cohort within the TARGET Protein trial. Methods We cond...

Geometry‐Controlled Cooperativity at Binuclear Fe 2 –N 6 Sites Enables Selective Fe IV ═OGeneration for Durable Fenton‐Like Oxidation

ABSTRACT Single atom catalysts (SACs) are emerging as a promising platform for Fenton‐like water purification; however, their practical deployment is often constrained by the trade‐off between high intrinsic activity and long‐term stability. Here, we construct an N‐bridged binucl...

Amplicon-based long-read sequencing for accurate CYP2D6 gene deletion and duplication detection using CYP2D7 as a reference gene

Abstract We developed an amplicon-based long-read sequencing approach that enables simultaneous detection of CYP2D6 single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) and copy-number variations (CNVs) in a single reaction. The SNVs of the two pseudogenes, CYP2D7 and CYP2D8, were also comprehensiv...
