Bio-Inspired FGPCs for Biomedical and Structural Applications
Abstract: Bio-inspired functionally graded polymer composites (FGPCs) represent a new class of smart materials that use gradient material distributions to enhance mechanical and biological properties, mimicking natural systems like bones, shells, and plant stems. FGPCs exhibit smooth gradient distributions across interfaces, which improves biocompatibility and reduces the risk of failure under complex loading and environmental conditions. In this study, bio-inspired FGPCs were designed, fabricated, and validated using a combined experimental and …

FLEXURAL STRENGTHENING OF PCC BEAMS WITH VARYING FIBER DENSITIES OF CARBON FIBER FABRICS
Abstract: Strengthening of concrete structures has become ineludible due to unavoidable factors such as fatigue and aggressive environmental conditions causing deterioration of concrete structures. Many researchers are turning their direction for use of various high strength and high performance concretes due to their high structural and durability properties, for the purpose of repair and strengthening of concrete structures against these aggressive conditions. One of the rehabilitation methods was used in this …

Assessing the Growth and Development of Children with Celiac Disease (1–12 years): A Descriptive Study
Abstract: Introduction: Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disease. It affects genetically susceptible individual by making the small intestine permanently sensitive to gluten. Gluten is found in wheat, rye and barley. Celiac disease is caused by intake of gluten. Patient with celiac disease experiences diarrhea, steatorrhea, weight loss and failure to thrive due to malabsorption. Objective: To assess the growth and development of children with celiac disease (1–12 years) attending the …
