Enhancing Strength and Corrosion Resistance of Steel-Reinforced Concrete: Performance Evaluation of ICRETE Mineral Additive in Sustainable Concrete Mixes with PFA and GGBS by Kowshika V.R, Vijaya Bhaskaran, Ramkumar Natarajan, Iman Faridmehr

“…The results revealed that ICRETE-enhanced mixes achieved compressive strengths of 56.93 MPa at a water–cement ratio of 0.35 and 50.61 MPa at 0.38, surpassing the control mix’s 50.9 MPa at 0.33. Microstructural analysis via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that ICRETE improved hydration, reduced porosity, and refined the microstructure, contributing to more excellent durability. …”

Associations between preoperative cerebral white matter microstructural changes and neurodevelopmental deficits in CHD infants: a diffusion tensor imaging study by Zhen Zhang, Siyu Ma, Ziqing Hu, Yong Chen, Ye Lin, Yaqi Zhang, Meijiao Zhu, Liang Hu, Xinyu Cai, Nishant Patel, Ming Yang, Xuming Mo

“…Abstract Background Neurodevelopmental deficits(NDs) frequently occur in patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) because of the hemodynamic abnormalities. We aimed to evaluate white matter(WM) microstructural changes in infants with CHD and analyze the relationship between WM microstructural changes and NDs. …”

In vivo cortical microstructure mapping using high-gradient diffusion MRI accounting for intercompartmental water exchange effects by Tanxin Dong, Hong-Hsi Lee, Han Zang, Hansol Lee, Qiyuan Tian, Liang Wan, Qiuyun Fan, SusieY. Huang

“…As such, it does not account for diffusion time dependence due to water exchange in the estimated microstructural properties, as neurites in gray matter are much less myelinated than in white matter.In this work, we performed a systematic evaluation of an extended SANDI model for in vivo human cortical microstructural mapping that accounts for water exchange effects between the neurite and extracellular compartments using the anisotropic Kärger model. …”
