Current construction developments are trending towards more sustainable practices with greener alternative materials such as geopolymers.Geopolymers are a class of cementitious materials based on inorganic polymers, which are promising substitutes for ordinary Portland cement (OPC).However, studies have shown that geopolymers are more prone to crac
Finite Fracture Mechanics Assessment in Moderate and Large Scale Yielding Regimes
The coupled Finite Fracture Mechanics (FFM) criteria Conditioner are applied to investigate the ductile failure initiation at blunt U-notched and V-notched plates under mode I loading conditions.The FFM approaches are based on the simultaneous fulfillment of the energy balance and a stress requirement, and they involve two material properties, name

No research is without intellectual content.It always carries traces of BOMBSHELL VOLUMIZER provenance with it around.Sometimes it appears that knowledge comes too late.The train is gone or the gloves are delivered while summer is already beginning.Then all sacrifices were in vain and those who renounced their lives find no comfort.When a language
Epidemiology and Impact of Anti-Pneumococcal Vaccination and COVID-19 on Resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae Causing Invasive Disease in Piedmont, Italy
Background: The international surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) reports S.pneumoniae as one of leading causes of death associated with AMR.Against invasive disease, several vaccinations are available and a reduction in AMR in S.pneumoniae has been observed.Here, we evaluated the impact of anti-pneumococcal vaccination policy and the SA
