Geotechnical Characteristic Assessments of Floodplain Soils Using SCPTU Data in Nanjing, China by Mingfei Zhang, Liyuan Tong, Qiang Wang

“…At an area where local correlations based on modern SCPTU do not exist, methods for estimating coefficient of earth pressure at rest (K0), hydraulic permeability (kh), and equivalent stiffness (G0) associated with bridge foundation design are presented, compared, and verified. Results also illustrate the complexity and variability of the floodplain stratigraphy and soil properties, which means that the suggestions in this study should be updated when more local experience is obtained. …”

Structural dynamics and permeability of the TRPV3 pentamer by Shifra Lansky, Zhaokun Wang, Oliver B. Clarke, Christophe Chipot, Simon Scheuring

“…Recently, using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), we discovered a rare and transient pentameric state for TRPV3 that is in equilibrium with the tetrameric state, and, using cryo-EM, we solved a low-resolution structure of the TRPV3 pentamer, in which, however, many residues were unresolved. Here, we present a higher resolution and more complete structure of the pentamer, revealing a domain-swapped architecture, a collapsed vanilloid binding site, and a large pore. …”

Regulation of early accelerated carbonation behavior in nano-modified cementitious materials under low concentration CO2 by Xu Chen, Shaochun Li, Mengjun Hu, Shiyu Sui, Yongjuan Geng, Ling Jin, Shuchang Zhang, Qiangqiang Ma, Shijie Han

“…In addition, nanoparticles promoted cement hydration, increased the degree of polymerization of C–S–H gels, and effectively inhibited their decalcification, thereby improving the pore structure of the matrix. Notably, the NS modified group exhibited the lowest total porosity and average pore size across all carbonation stages, with the proportion of large pores (>200 nm) reduced by approximately 69 % compared to the control. …”

Influence of internal printing pattern and infill on morphological and dimensional properties of gluten-free bread manufactured by 3D printing by Carmen Molina-Montero, Adrian Matas, Marta Igual, Javier Martínez-Monzó, Purificación García-Segovia

“…The rectilinear pattern exhibited higher dimensional stability during printing, while the concentric pattern showed higher moisture losses and, consequently lower dimensional deformations during baking., Analysis of the crumb structure revealed that the concentric pattern produced higher total porosity than the rectilinear pattern, with a more irregular pore distribution. Color differences were more pronounced in samples with 60 % infill, particularly in the rectilinear pattern. …”

Drying kinetics and characteristics of Acori tatarinowii rhizoma under hot air thin-layer drying at different temperatures by Yingna Le, Kun Shi, Chengfu Wang, Jingying Guo, Yaohui Ye, Yuexing Ma, Ruiping Wang, Fangyan Cai, Shaolong Ma, Jinlian Zhang, Lingyun Zhong

“…This study provides the first comprehensive analysis of drying temperature effects on ATR, uniquely correlating thermal parameters with surface morphology, microstructural evolution, and volatile compound preservation. By resolving the longstanding knowledge gap in ATR post-harvest processing, the work establishes quantitative criteria for industrial drying optimization, offering a science-based framework to balance efficiency and phytochemical quality.…”
