Article Abstract
This study investigates the feasibility of smart aggregate (SA) sensors and their optimal locations for impedance-based damage monitoring in prestressed concrete (PSC) anchorage zones. Firstly, numerical stress analyses are performed on the PSC anchorage zone to determine the location of potential damage that is induced by prestressing forces. Secondly, a simplified impedance model is briefly described for the SA sensor in the anchorage. Thirdly, numerical impedance analyses are performed to explore the sensitivities of a few SA sensors in the anchorage zone under the variation of prestressing forces and under the occurrence of artificial damage events. Finally, a real-scale PSC anchorage zone is experimentally examined to evaluate the optimal localization of the SA sensor for concrete damage detection. Impedance responses measured under a series of prestressing forces are statistically quantified to estimate the performance of damage monitoring via the SA sensor in the PSC anchorage.

This study investigates the feasibility evaluation of smart PZT-embedded sensors for impedance-based damage monitoring in prestressed concrete (PSC) anchorages. Firstly, the concept of impedance-based damage monitoring for the concrete anchorage is concisely introduced. Secondly, a prototype design of PZT-embedded rebar and aggregate (so-called smart rebar-aggregate) is chosen to sensitively acquire impedance responses-induced local structural damage in anchorage members.

Background And Aims: The crosstalk between cancer stem cells (CSCs) and their niche is required for the maintenance of stem cell-like phenotypes of CSCs. Here, we identified E26 transformation-specific homologous factor (EHF) as a key molecule in decreasing the sensitivity of pancreatic cancer (PC) cells to CSCs' niche stimulus. We also explored a therapeutic strategy to restore the expression of EHF.

Purpose Of Review: Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are anchorage-dependent cells that can be cultured on a variety of matrices and express integrins and the machinery for integrin signaling. Until recently, there has been limited understanding of exactly how integrin signaling regulates pluripotent stem cell (PSC) behavior. This review summarizes our knowledge of how integrins and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) regulate different aspects of hPSC biology.
