This paper presents the results of an experimental study of the axial capacity of circular spirally-reinforced concrete columns that were subjected to accelerated corrosion while sustaining a constant compressive service load.Two sets of columns of five columns each were designed with different spiral pitch to investigate the effect of concrete con

Biscuit Board It is generally accepted that good glass formers have a high thermal stability against crystallization upon heating.In this paper, we report an unusual relationship between thermal stability and glass-forming ability (GFA) for high-entropy bulk metallic glasses (HE-BMGs).As compared with their conventional counterparts in the same all

In wire arc additive manufacturing, residual displacements represent a common challenge.Simulations act as a tool for predicting this deformation, consequently reducing scrap rates.This paper aims to present the use of the inherent strain simulation for rapid and quantitatively satisfactory displacement predictions in the wire arc additive manufact

Abstract Background Alpha interferon in combination with ribavirin is the standard therapy for hepatitis C virus infection.Unfortunately, a significant number of patients fail to eradicate their infection with this regimen.The mechanisms of IFN-resistance are unclear.The aim of this study was to determine the contribution of host cell factors to th
