Bond characteristics of GFRP and BFRP bars embedded in Self-Compacting Concrete with different substitutes

This study investigates the bond behavior of GFRP, BFRP, and steel bars in Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) with and without cement replacements. Three specific SCC mixtures were developed: a control batch using only Portland Cement (PC), one utilizing Fly Ash (FA) as a partial PC...

Serum GFAP and UCH-L1 in selected older emergency department patients: positivity beyond documented head injury

Abstract Background Older adults frequently present to emergency departments (EDs) after falls or suspected head injury, often with multimorbidity, cognitive impairment, and uncertain injury timing. Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH...

RED-S IN ENDURANCE ATHLETES — SKELETAL CONSEQUENCES OF CHRONIC LOW ENERGY AVAILABILITY

Background. Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) is an increasingly recognized health problem among endurance athletes. The main mechanism leading to the development of RED-S is low energy availability (LEA), resulting from insufficient energy intake in relation to exercis...

A Bayesian Classification Approach for Exploring EEG Band Power Reduction and P300 Attenuation as Candidate Group-Associated Markers in Alcohol Use Disorder: A Preliminary Study

Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is associated with widespread neurophysiological dysregulation, yet accessible and objective biomarkers for early risk identification remain limited. This preliminary study investigates electroencephalographic (EEG) frequency-domain and event-related po...

Physical workload and task efficiency across four mannequin towing techniques in water rescue

Direct in-water rescue is a safety-critical task in which towing technique and rescue-support equipment may influence both rescuer workload and task output. This study compared physical workload, towing performance and physiological economy across four mannequin towing techniques...

From prediction to practice: Barriers to implementing artificial intelligence in blood inventory management and transfusion support

BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly applied to blood-demand forecasting, donor management, inventory optimisation, wastage reduction and transfusion-related decision support; however, routine implementation remains limited. OBJECTIVES: To review current appli...
