The magnetic method is the most promising method that can be used to inspect large areas of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Magnetization is a crucial process in this method. The paper aims to present the impact of the magnetization method on the results in the detection of reinforced bars (rebars) and the evaluation of concrete cover thickness in reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Three cases (without magnetization, same pole magnetization, and opposite pole magnetization) were considered in the experiments. Results achieved in all the methods are presented and evaluated. Two different sensing elements were used in the measurements: a magneto-optical (MO) sensor and an AMR sensor. The advantages and disadvantages of both mentioned transducers are presented and discussed in the context of a large areas inspection. The new approach involves using various magnetization methods to improve measurement results for complex structures.

Introduction: Simulation has become an integral part of healthcare education. Studies demonstrate rapid knowledge and skill acquisition with the use of simulation and rapid knowledge degradation if it is not further reinforced. Effect of simulation on metacognitive processes, or the ability to understand one's own knowledge, is not well-investigated yet.

Financial portfolio management investment policies computed quantitatively by modern portfolio theory techniques like the Markowitz model rely on a set of assumptions that are not supported by data in high volatility markets such as the technological sector or cryptocurrencies. Hence, quantitative researchers are looking for alternative models to tackle this problem. Concretely, portfolio management (PM) is a problem that has been successfully addressed recently by Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) approaches.

Hidden infections and late diagnoses are currently the main challenges of the HIV pandemic. Emergency departments (EDs) are one of the health care system's key resources addressing these challenges. In 2020, the Spanish Society of Emergency Medicine (SEMES) published recommendations for ordering HIV serology testing for patients with certain health conditions, and in 2021 SEMES launched the "Leave Your Mark" (Deja tu Huella - DTH) program to facilitate implementing the recommendations during emergency care.

Based on the bidirectional electromigration (BIEM) technique, a corrosion inhibitor solution was prepared by mixing 1 mol/L triethylene tetramine with deionized water. The effects of current density, charging time, and corrosion inhibitor on critical current density and hydrogen content of rebar were investigated. Subsequently, the hydrogen embrittlement risk of rebar was further characterized by mechanical property tests.

Long-gauge fiber optic sensors have proven to be valuable tools for structural health monitoring, especially in reinforced concrete (RC) beam structures. While their application in this area has been well-documented, their use in RC columns remains relatively unexplored. This suggests a promising avenue for further research and development.
