Article Abstract
The physical and mechanical properties of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) are worse than those of natural coarse aggregate (NCA), and the overall performance of recycled concrete prepared from RCA is worse than that of natural aggregate concrete. Treatment of RCA by CO-accelerated carbonation effectively improves the macroscopic properties of RCA. The degree of influence of raw material factors, i.e., the original concrete strength (OCS) and initial moisture content (IMC) of RCA, on the carbonation of RCAs is very complex. Herein, an accelerated carbonation experiment for RCA with different material factors as variables was carried out to explore the influence of the abovementioned factors on the physical properties of carbonated recycled coarse aggregate (CRCA). By analyzing the microstructure of the RCA with the best modification effect before and after carbonation, the carbonation modification mechanism of the RCA was revealed. The physical performance indexes, including the apparent density, water absorption and carbonation rate, of the dried RCA with an OCS of C40 and C50 were significantly improved. The research results can provide basic data and theoretical support for promoting the popularization and application of RCA and recycled concrete in practical engineering.

CASHNet: Context-Aware Semantics-driven Hierarchical Network for Hybrid Diffeomorphic CT-CBCT Image Registration.
IEEE Trans Med Imaging
September 2025
Computed Tomography (CT) to Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) image registration is crucial for image-guided radiotherapy and surgical procedures. However, achieving accurate CT-CBCT registration remains challenging due to various factors such as inconsistent intensities, low contrast resolution and imaging artifacts. In this study, we propose a Context-Aware Semantics-driven Hierarchical Network (referred to as CASHNet), which hierarchically integrates context-aware semantics-encoded features into a coarse-to-fine registration scheme, to explicitly enhance semantic structural perception during progressive alignment.

Switchable surfactants exhibit broad application potential due to their reversible response to external stimuli. The reversible mechanism of the CO-switchable surfactant ('-dodecyl-, -dimethyl-acetamidines, DDA) solubilization polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and the microscopic dynamic behavior of emulsification/demulsification were systematically studied using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. The dynamic transition processes of protonation (DDA to DDA) and deprotonation (DDA to DDA) were successfully simulated.

Recycling crushed clay bricks as both coarse and fine aggregates has shown promising potential for producing eco-friendly concrete, helping to reduce the industry's environmental footprint while promoting the sustainable reuse of waste materials. However, the inherent variability of these aggregates can lead to inconsistent concrete performance, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation to assess their suitability for construction applications. For this purpose, a number of concrete mixtures incorporating crushed clay bricks as coarse and/or fine aggregates were produced and tested in this study.

In the field of intelligent manufacturing, image anomaly detection plays a pivotal role in automated product quality inspection. Most existing anomaly detection methods are adept at capturing local features of images, achieving high detection accuracy for structural anomalies such as cracks and scratches. However, logical anomalies typically appear normal within local regions of an image and are difficult to represent well by the anomaly score map, requiring the model to possess the capability to extract global context features.

The poor quality of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA), particularly its high water absorption and low strength, has long restricted the development of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). In this study, a novel combined spraying treatment method integrating cement slurry and a methyl sodium silicate (MSS) solution was proposed to improve the comprehensive performance of RCA. The effects of the treatment on RCA properties, including crushing value, water absorption, dynamic water absorption, apparent density, micromorphology, and contact angle, were systematically investigated.
