OPTIMIZING REBAR CONSUMPTION AND CUTTING WASTE IN COLUMN REINFORCEMENT: INTEGRATED MECHANICAL COUPLERS AND A SPECIAL-LENGTH-PRIORITY MINIMIZATION ALGORITHM

Optimizing Rebar Consumption and Cutting Waste in Column Reinforcement: Integrated Mechanical Couplers and a Special-Length-Priority Minimization Algorithm

The construction of reinforced concrete (RC) structures inevitably consumes an excessive number of rebars, leading to significant cutting waste and carbon emissions.Extensive research has been conducted to minimize this issue and its consequences; however, these methods consistently consume a substantial number of rebars.This includes a previous st

Microbial biogeography of public restroom surfaces.

We spend the majority of our lives indoors where we are constantly exposed to bacteria residing on surfaces.However, the diversity of these surface-associated communities is largely unknown.We explored the biogeographical patterns exhibited by bacteria across ten surfaces within each of twelve public restrooms.Using high-throughput barcoded pyroseq
