A review of the applications of ultra-high performance concrete in flat components and the associated fire-induced spalling risk by Xiaodong Cheng, Jun Xia, Theofanis Krevaikas, Luigi Di Sarno

“…We deeply analyzed the spalling mechanisms of UHPC at high temperatures, mostly including thermal stress and vapor pressure mechanisms, and thoroughly investigated influencing factors such as permeability, heating rate, fiber and aggregate types, specimen size, cooling method, external load, and restraint. Additionally, we summarize effective methods to mitigate fire-induced spalling, such as the application of fire insulation, optimization of curing processes, incorporation of fibers or aggregates, and the utilization of thermal spalling-resistant admixtures. …”

Efficiency evaluation of phospholipid fatty acid method based on lipid standards: methanol failed to recover a majority of phospholipids yet eluted unexpected glycolipid by Shanshan Zhang, Shanshan Zhang, Xinyu Jiao, Hongzhang Kang, Wenjuan Yu, Wenjuan Yu

“…Overall, incomplete separation among lipid types caused loss of phospholipids and introduction of glycolipid interferences in the methanol fraction, leading to biased estimation of soil microbial biomass and composition. Chloroform elution of phospholipids challenges the principle of “like dissolves like” in solid-phase chromatography, although we cannot rule out the uncertainty caused by background PLFAs and future experiments are needed to provide more evidence. …”
