Life cycle assessment and sensitivity analysis of carbon emissions in full depth reclamation with portland cement and conventional pavement repair
Abstract Full-depth reclamation with Portland cement (FDR-PC) is a pavement rehabilitation technology that has garnered significant attention and research interest due to its ability to fully utilize existing pavement materials in situ and address deep structural issues within the pavement. This paper evaluates the advantages of FDR-PC in terms of carbon emission compared to traditional asphalt pavement rehabilitation technologies. Firstly, under the same service life conditions, the structural configurations of asphalt pavements were designed using 3D-Move Analysis for three different technologies: removal and reconstruction, cold central plant recycling, and FDR-PC. Subsequently, carbon emission models were established based on the life cycle assessment (LCA) method and the construction processes, allowing for a comparison of carbon emissions and energy consumption among the three technologies. Finally, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess the impact of various factors on carbon emissions during the FDR-PC construction process. The results indicate that in terms of carbon emissions from the pavement base layer, FDR-PC accounts for 92% and 90% of those produced by removal and reconstruction and cold central plant recycling, respectively, while its energy consumption is 60% and 70% of the latter two technologies. Notably, during the transportation phase, FDR-PC demonstrates carbon emissions and energy consumption levels at merely 4% each compared to conventional removal and reconstruction, and 6% each relative to cold central plant recycling. The sensitivity analysis further reveals that the cement content is the most influential factor affecting the carbon emissions of FDR-PC.

Association of grass pollen concentration and physical symptoms as well as impairments in day-to-day life in pollen allergy patients
Abstract Allergic diseases are a major global public health issue, profoundly impacting the daily lives of millions of people worldwide. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between daily grass pollen concentration and daily physical symptoms as well as impairments in day-to-day life in pollen allergy patients in Bavaria, Germany over a period of three-months. Pollen data of the pollen season 2022 were obtained from the electronic pollen information network of Bavaria. We used an app-based questionnaire and developed an index to measure physical symptoms—regarding eyes and nose as well as impairments in day-to-day life including performance, sleep quality and daily activities. For our analyses we used data from 53 patients. The associations were analysed using linear mixed models (LMM). We found a statistically significant association between the level of grass pollen concentration and both the index physical symptoms (β = 0.002; p < 0.001) and the index impairments in day-to-day life (β = 0.00064; p < 0.048). It is important that patients are well informed about the pollen count as well as their physical symptoms and daily life impairments so that they can manage their allergies effectively and appropriately.

Sense of ownership is linked to the speed of visuomotor adaptation in virtual reality but not to generalization, intermanual transfer, or aftereffects
Abstract Visuomotor adaptation, a form of motor learning in which familiar movements are adjusted to changes in visual feedback, has been widely studied in 2D settings. Testing this in virtual reality (VR) enables the exploration of 3D movements, offering a more realistic representation of motor behavior in daily tasks. While some studies have compared adaptation in 2D and 3D, none have examined the effect of visual feedback type. We compared adaptation via either a virtual hand or a cursor as feedback. The participants adapted to a visuomotor rotation while reaching in VR, and we assessed adaptation performance, spatial generalization, intermanual transfer, aftereffects, and sense of agency. Hand-based feedback facilitated faster adaptation, likely due to a stronger sense of agency, as indicated by a positive correlation between agency ratings and the adaptation rate. However, spatial generalization, intermanual transfer, and aftereffects did not differ between feedback types, suggesting that adaptation remained context-dependent and that the feedback modality did not influence the balance between explicit and implicit learning. We observed high intermanual transfer (~ 80%), driven primarily by explicit adaptation, which is consistent with previous 2D studies. These findings provide insights into visual feedback’s role in sensorimotor learning and have implications for rehabilitation and skill training in immersive environments.
