Research on the microstructure influence mechanism of hydraulic asphalt concrete based on fuzzy sets by Fang Jianyin, Bian Junhua, Constantinos Soutis, Dang Faning, Qin Yuan, Ren Jie, Gao Jun

“…The findings demonstrate that the mesoscale numerical model effectively replicates the microstructural characteristics of hydraulic asphalt concrete, exhibiting interface thickness measurements up to 0.33 mm that show strong concordance with empirical data. Maximum interface rates occur near the convergence point of aggregate-to-binder ratio curves under both λ₁→0 and λ₂→1 boundary conditions. …”

Care seeking for neonatal illness in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic review. by Hadley K Herbert, Anne C C Lee, Aruna Chandran, Igor Rudan, Abdullah H Baqui

“…Infections are a leading cause of death and limitations in care seeking for ill neonates contribute to high mortality rates. As estimates for care-seeking behaviors in LMICs have not been studied, this review describes care seeking for neonatal illnesses in LMICs, with particular attention to type of care sought.…”
