When the chloride ion concentration within concrete reaches a certain threshold, it triggers corrosion of the reinforcing steel bars, severely compromising the durability of reinforced concrete structures. Accurately assessing how the chloride ion concentration in concrete evolves over time is cruci...

Dopamine (DA) is a neurotransmitter which takes charge of brain activities about memory and self-stimulation behavior in animals. Interestingly, our results suggest that DA could also give maize an “excited state”. The results showed that 1 mmol L−1 DA promoted maize germination by 23.2% significant...

Nuclear fuel cladding is the first safety barrier of the reactor. For additional safety of the fuel assemblies under accident conditions, accident tolerant fuel (ATF) cladding material has been widely noted. Chromium-coated (Cr-coated) fuel cladding becomes the mainstream solution of ATF cladding in...

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a leading cause of mortality in the clinic. Previous studies have demonstrated that the NF-kappa-B activating protein like (NKAPL) is positively correlated with prognosis in several types of cancers. However, the role of NKAPL in the progression of NSCLC re...
