A case study on the flexural behaviour of sustainable recycled lump-aggregate concrete precast beams using inclined-crossed stirrups by Lang Lin, Bo Wu, Fangying Wang

“…This study experimentally investigates its flexural behaviour, focusing on stirrup type, spacing, compressive bar diameter, and RL substitution rate, and further analyzes compressive bar buckling to develop an optimized I-C stirrup layout. The findings are as follows: (a) For the similar consumption of stirrup steel, precast beams with I-C stirrups exhibit flexural capacity and ductility equal to or slightly greater than those with traditional vertical stirrups, while the former also show smaller average crack spacing and maximum crack width; (b) Increasing stirrup spacing reduces the flexural ductility of beams with I-C stirrups, but their flexural capacity either remains unchanged (with no premature buckling of the compressive longitudinal bar) or decreases by less than 10 % (with premature buckling); (c) The use of RLs within the precast part has a limited effect on the flexural capacity and ductility of the beams; (d) The proposed method for judging premature buckling of the compressive longitudinal bar is reasonable, and the maximum allowable stirrup spacing derived from it could be employed as a reference for practical.…”

Derivation and Culture of Enriched Phrenic-Like Motor Neurons From Human iPSCs by Louise Thiry, Julien Sirois, Thomas Durcan, Stefano Stifani

“…During spinal cord development, phMNs emerge from specific MN progenitors located in the dorsalmost MN progenitor (pMN) domain at cervical levels, under the control of a ventral-to-dorsal gradient of Sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling and a rostro-caudal gradient of retinoic acid (RA). The method presented here uses optimized concentrations of RA and the SHH agonist purmorphamine, followed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) of the resulting MN progenitor cells (MNPCs) based on a cell-surface protein (IGDCC3) enriched in hiPSC-phMNs. …”

PENC: a predictive-estimative nonlinear control framework for robust target tracking of fixed-wing UAVs in complex urban environments by Shiji Hai, Xitai Na, Zhihui Feng, Jinshuo Shi, Qingbin Sun

“…To address this, this paper proposes a Predictive-Estimative Nonlinear Control (PENC) framework. This framework optimizes the UAV-gimbal system’s control inputs in real-time to ensure the target remains within the camera’s field of view (FOV) despite obstacles, while simultaneously using historical target state measurements to accurately estimate its current state. …”
