It is a universal fact that concrete one of the most employed construction materials and hence its exigency booming at rocket pace, which in turn, has resulted titanic demand ordinary Portland cement. Regrettably, production this essential binder not merely found to consume restricted natural resources but also be associated with emission carbon dioxide—a primary greenhouse gas (GHG) directly a...

In article number 2006298, Tomonori Saito, Diana Hun, Peng-Fei Cao, and co-workers develop a series of autonomous self-healable elastomers with excellent mechanical properties unprecedented adhesion force. The self-healing process is water-insensitive, the strength negligibly affected by dust on substrate. developed elastomer could enable wide range applications enhanced longevity versatility, ...

This paper reviews the synthesis, characterization, healing assessment, and mechanics of NiTi other shape memory alloy (SMA)-reinforced self-healing metal matrix composites (SHMMCs). Challenges to synthesizing characterizing SMA-reinforced SHMMCs strategies followed overcome those challenges are discussed. To design SHMMCs, it is necessary understand their microstructural evolution during melti...

The Web service paradigm allows applications to interact electronically with one another over the Internet. Standards and languages, such as BPEL and OWL-S provide a platform with which Web services can be integrated. Moreover, various AI planning techniques have also been adapted to integrate services. However, the autonomous and distributed nature of an integrated service presents unique chal...

Conductive textiles are promising for human–machine interfaces and wearable electronics. A simple way to create conductive by coating fabric with liquid metal (LM) particles is reported. The process involves dip-coating the into a suspension of LM at room temperature. Despite being coated uniformly after drying, remain electrically insulating due native oxide that forms on particles. Yet, they ...

Abstract The present study aimed at discovering the practices and strategies autonomous EFL learners pursue in their endeavor to master English. It thus set out in the Iranian context, with 60 EFL learners, both autonomous and non-autonomous, as participants. The gathered data through a questionnaire and an interview were subjected to content and descriptive analysis. The results showed that bo...
