3. Handling of missing component information for common composite score outcomes used in axial spondyloarthritis research when complete-case analysis is unbiasedChristos Polysopoulos, Stylianos Georgiadis, Lykke Midtbøll Ørnbjerg, Almut Scherer, Daniela Di Giuseppe, Merete Lund Hetland, Michael John Nissen, Gareth T. Jones, Bente Glintborg, Anne Gitte Loft, Katja Perdan-Pirkmajer, Žiga Rotar, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Background: Observational data on composite scores often comes with missing component information. When a complete-case (CC) analysis of composite scores is unbiased, preferable approaches of dealing with missing component information should also be unbiased and provide a more precise estimate. We assessed the performance of several methods compared to CC analysis in estimating the means of common composite scores used in axial spondyloarthritis research. Methods: Individual mean imputation (IMI), the modified formula method (MF), overall mean imputation (OMI), and multiple imputation of missing component values (MI) were assessed either analytically or by means of simulations from available data collected across Europe. Their performance in estimating the means of the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), and the Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score based on C-reactive protein (ASDAS-CRP) in cases where component information was set missing completely at random was compared to the CC approach based on bias, variance, and coverage. Results: Like the MF method, IMI uses a modified formula for observations with missing components resulting in modified composite scores. In the case of an unbiased CC approach, these two methods yielded representative samples of the distribution arising from a mixture of the original and modified composite scores, which, however, could not be considered the same as the distribution of the original score. The IMI and MF method are, thus, intrinsically biased. OMI provided an unbiased mean but displayed a complex dependence structure among observations that, if not accounted for, resulted in severe coverage issues. MI improved precision compared to CC and gave unbiased means and proper coverage as long as the extent of missingness was not too large. Conclusions: MI of missing component values was the only method found successful in retaining CC's unbiasedness and in providing increased precision for estimating the means of BASDAI, BASFI, and ASDAS-CRP. However, since MI is susceptible to incorrect implementation and its performance may become questionable with increasing missingness, we consider the implementation of an error-free CC approach a valid and valuable option.

4. Current advances in magnetoelectric composites with various interphase connectivity typesYouness Hadouch, Daoud Mezzane, M'barek Amjoud, Hana Uršič Nemevšek, Abdelilah Lahmar, Brigita Rožič, Igor A. Luk'yanchuk, Zdravko Kutnjak, Mimoun El Marssi, 2025, pregledni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Magnetoelectric composites integrate the coupling between magnetic and piezoelectric materials to create new functionalities for potential technological applications. This coupling is typically achieved through the exchange of magnetic, electric, or elastic energy across the interfaces between the different constituent materials. Tailoring the strength of the magnetoelectric effect is primarily accomplished by selecting suitable materials for each constituent and by optimizing geometrical and microstructural designs. Various composite architectures, such as (0-3), (2-2), (1-3) and core-shell connectivities, have been studied to enhance magnetoelectric coupling and other required physical properties in composites. This review examines the latest advancements in magnetoelectric materials, focusing on the impact of different interphase connectivity types on their properties and performance. Before exploring magnetic-electric coupling, a brief overview of the historical background of multiferroic magnetoelectric composites is provided. Fundamental concepts underlying the magnetoelectric effect, piezoelectricity, and the magnetostrictive effect are explained, including their origins and examples of these materials' properties. So far, three types of magnetoelectric composite connectivities have been investigated experimentally: particulate composites (0-3), laminated and thin films (2-2), sticks embedded in matrix, core-shell particles, and coaxial fibers.An outlook on the prospects and scientific challenges in the field of multiferroic magnetoelectric composites is given at the end of this review.

6. A fully generalised approach to modelling fire response of steel-RC composite structuresJerneja Kolšek Češarek, Miran Saje, Igor Planinc, Tomaž Hozjan, 2014, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: A three-step model for the performance-based numerical simulations of the fire response of steel–RC two-layered beam-like composite structures is presented and validated. The first step consists of the determination of the evolution of temperatures in the structure׳s surroundings. Moisture and the heat transfer through the RC layer and the conduction of heat over the steel layer are obtained in the second step. In concrete, the transfer of water vapour, dry air, and free water is discussed as well as the evaporation and liquefaction phenomena and the dehydration of concrete and its thermal and mechanical degradation. Within the framework of the third step, a geometrically and materially non-linear mechanical response of the structure is proposed accounting for interlayer slips and uplifts as well as for various material-related phenomena such as the material hardening/softening and creep. The governing equations are solved numerically. An efficient, novel strain-based finite element formulation is introduced for the mechanical analysis. Due to its generality and consideration of several different possible non-linear material, geometrical, and interlayer contact phenomena and their couplings the model can be of a use to a broader fire science community for exploring the impact of different physical parameters on the results of the addressed numerical simulations, thereby providing directions for further research. In the paper a case of such a study is also demonstrated exploring the contribution of the steel sheet and the flexibility of the interlayer connection of a standard trapezoidal steel–RC slab to its ultimate fire resistance. A reasonable contribution of the sheet is proved if the stiffness ratio between the integrated and the external tensile reinforcement of the RC plate is low provided that the contact connection is sufficiently stiff.

8. Influence of Matrix, Filler, and structural design on the dielectric and energy storage properties of cellulose compositesMohammed Arif Poothanari, Hanuma Reddy Tiyyagura, Yasir Beeran Potta Thara, 2025, pregledni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Cellulose is a renewable, biodegradable, cost-effective, and easy-to-process natural biopolymer. Because of its dielectric, piezoelectric, and mechanical performance, cellulose and its composites are often used as a matrix, filler, substrate, gel electrolyte, and dielectric layer for flexible energy storage devices. They offer easy fabrication strategies and excellent mechanical properties. In this mini-review, we summarized the principles of dielectric and energy storage features of cellulose composites and factors affecting their dielectric properties, mainly exploring the incorporation of various filler materials in the cellulose matrices and cellulose materials acting as different types of fillers. Moreover, the fabrication strategies, structural design, and matrix-filler interactions of cellulose composites enhance their dielectric properties as systematically reviewed. This review summarizes the current state-of-the-art progress of cellulose dielectric composites, challenges, and future outlook for green dielectric and energy storage devices. The review suggests that optimizing the filler type, cellulose fiber content, fabrication techniques, and structural design can significantly enhance the dielectric properties and energy storage capacity of cellulose composites.
