Journal Article
Wang, Y., Oleiwi, H., Wang, C., Xiang, N., & Geng, J. (2020). The characterization of chloride effect on concrete water sorption and its application in the modelling of concrete conditions in tidal zones. Construction and Building Materials, 253, 119074. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2020.119074

Concrete exposed to cyclic wetting and drying in salty water conditions is thought to be subjected to an accelerated ingress of chloride from the outside environment, and prone to a worsening deterioration process inside. Additionally, there is an os... Read More about The characterization of chloride effect on concrete water sorption and its application in the modelling of concrete conditions in tidal zones.

BACKGROUND Vacuolar H-ATPase (V-ATPase) is a highly conserved protein complex which hydrolyzes ATP and pumps protons to acidify vacuolar vesicles. Beyond its role in pH maintenance, the involvement of V-ATPase in endocytosis is well documented in...

Elucidating the mechanism of the CO2 methanation reaction over Ni–Fe hydrotalcite-derived catalysts via surface-sensitive in situ XPS and NEXAFS. Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 22(34), 18788-18797. https://doi.org/10.1039/d0cp00622j

Hydrotalcite-derived Ni and Fe-promoted hydrotalcite-derived Ni catalysts were found to outperform industrial catalysts in the CO2 methanation reaction, however the origin of the improved activity and selectivity of these catalysts is not clear. Here... Read More about Elucidating the mechanism of the CO2 methanation reaction over Ni–Fe hydrotalcite-derived catalysts via surface-sensitive in situ XPS and NEXAFS.

Thermal analysis of hot mix asphalt pothole repair by finite element method (2020)
Journal Article
Byzyka, J., Rahman, M., & Chamberlain, D. A. (2020). Thermal analysis of hot mix asphalt pothole repair by finite element method. Journal of transportation engineering. Part B. Pavements, 146(3), 04020029. https://doi.org/10.1061/JPEODX.0000156

Traditional repair methods tend to suffer from inadequate net interface heating because the combined effect of placing hot fill mix in a cold, old pavement leads to inadequate net temperature levels. The outcome of this is low durability and limited... Read More about Thermal analysis of hot mix asphalt pothole repair by finite element method.

Copper tolerance in bacteria requires the activation of multiple accessory pathways (2020)
Journal Article

Copper is a required micronutrient for bacteria and an essential cofactor for redox-active cuproenzymes. Yet, excess copper is extremely toxic, and is exploited as a bacteriocide in medical and biotechnological applications and also by the mammalian...
