Field Observations and Failure Analysis of an Excavation Damaged Zone in the Horonobe Underground Research Laboratory

In the construction of a deep underground facility, the hydromechanical properties of the rock mass around an underground opening are changed significantly due to stress redistribution. This zone is called an excavation damaged zone (EDZ). ...

Composition and distribution of bacterial communities and potential radiation-resistant bacteria at different elevations in the eastern Pamirs

Altitude and ultraviolet (UV) radiation may affect the community composition and distribution of microorganisms in soil ecosystems. In this study, 49 soil samples from 10 locations were collected from different elevations on the eastern Pam...

Exploring fibre addition methods and mechanical properties of fibre-reinforced 3D printed concrete: A review

3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) is a growing field of sustainable technology that offers an avenue for rapid industrialisation of the construction industry. Over the years, many non-structural elements have been fabricated by 3D printing, thus ...

A Contactless Coupled Pendulum and Piezoelectric Wave Energy Harvester: Model and Experiment

Wireless monitoring systems for the marine environment are important for rapidly growing subsea developments. The power supply of wireless sensor nodes within the monitoring systems, however, is a major challenge. This study proposes a nove...

The Prehistoric Indian Ayurvedic Rice Shashtika Is an Extant Early Domesticate With a Distinct Selection History

Fully domesticated rice is considered to have emerged in India at approximately 2000 B.C., although its origin in India remains a contentious issue. The fast-growing 60-days rice strain described in the Vedic literature (1900–500 B.C.) and ...

Professor Sheinov: A Self-Made Man

The article is dedicated to the 85th anniversary of Viktor P. Sheinov, a Belarusian-Russian scientist, Doctor of Sociological Sciences, Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Academician of the International Academy of Information...

Optimized two-stage process of Haematococcus sp. for enhanced astaxanthin and essential fatty acids accumulation

The present study evaluated a two-stage process of Haematococcus sp. to enhance the nutritional value by astaxanthin and fatty acid accumulation. Initial screening of different growth media during the green stage, focusing on enhanced bioma...

Unveiling Insights into the Whole Genome Sequencing of <i>Mycobacterium</i> spp. Isolated from Siamese Fighting Fish (<i>Betta splendens</i>)

This study aims to genomically elucidate six isolates of rapidly growing non-tuberculous mycobacteria (RGM) derived from Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens). These isolates had previously undergone phenotypic and biochemical characteriz...

A Novel Anticancer Peptide Derived from <i>Bryopsis plumosa</i> Regulates Proliferation and Invasion in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells

The discovery of new highly effective anticancer drugs with few side effects is a challenge for drug development research. Natural or synthetic anticancer peptides (ACPs) represent a new generation of anticancer agents with high selectivity...

Monitoring of coastal dynamics at Subang Regency using Landsat Collection Data and Cloud Computing Based

This study aims to better understand the coastal dynamics along the 6.89 km of Subang shoreline using Landsat data and GIS methods with cloud computing-based analysis. The data is processed using remote sensing techniques, image classificat...

Biomass burning fuel consumption rates: a field measurement database

Landscape fires show large variability in the amount of biomass or fuel consumed per unit area burned. Fuel consumption (FC) depends on the biomass available to burn and the fraction of the biomass that is actually combusted, and can be com...

Composition, Demographic History, and Population Structures of Trichiurus

Sequences of the complete mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene were used to identify Trichiurus species and examine their population genetic structure and demographic history along the coast of China. Three Trichiurus species wer...

Exposure, hazard, and vulnerability and their contribution to Schistosoma haematobium re-infection in northern Senegal

Background: The risk of infectious diseases, including snail-borne schistosomiasis, is determined by three inter-related components: exposure, hazard, and vulnerability. For schistosomiasis, exposure occurs through behaviours involving wate...

Some Examples of the Use of Molecular Markers for Needs of Basic Biology and Modern Society

Application of molecular genetic markers appeared to be very fruitful in achieving many goals, including (i) proving the theoretic basements of general biology and (ii) assessment of worldwide biodiversity. Both are provided in the present ...

Toward an Environmental Education of Students at the Faculty of Natural Sciences, the University of Namibe

Context: Today, quite a few environmental problems require swift responses toward adjustment, mitigation, and sustainability. Accordingly, how could university students acquire effective environmental education so they can play their social...
