Reflective cracking is a common distress of semi-rigid base asphalt pavements and overlay pavement projects. An rubber stress-absorbing membrane interlayer (AR-SAMI) prepared by waste tires an effective engineering solution for treating reflective cracking. This method can also reduce black pollution. However, there no unified test index crack resistance evaluation. In this work, AR-SAMIs with ...

Abstract Polysilicon thin-film semiconductor bridges (SCB) and Pb•BaTNR primary explosives are selected to prepare SCB/Pb•BaTNR samples, their ignition performance is tested. The test results show that the samples were ignited random when energy provided for SCB insufficient but aroud critical value. Under different energy-storage capacitance, voltages lead completely gasifying into high-energy...

Introduction Yeast cells become committed to enter and complete the mitotic cell cycle at a point known as Start in late G1. At Start a transcriptional programme is initiated, involving at least two transcription factors, SBF and DSCUMBF (for a review see [1,2]). These factors bind related promoter sequences known as SCB and MCB elements respectively. SBF controls principally the G1 cyclins CL,...

Conservation biology emerged in the mid-1980s, drawing on established disciplines and integrating them in pursuit of a coherent goal: the protection and perpetuation of the Earth's biological diversity. Opportunistic in its borrowing and application of knowledge, conservation biology had its roots within the established biological sciences and resource management disciplines but has continually...

Treated wastewater effluent containing endocrine-disrupting chemicals is discharged into the coastal waters of the Southern California Bight (SCB) daily. The present study investigated changes in indicators of reproductive health and environmental estrogen exposure in hornyhead turbot (Pleuronichthys verticalis) near wastewater outfalls. Fish were collected from discharge areas, farfield statio...

Quite some bones of cows and pigs are discharged from home and restaurant industry as food wastes after cooking by boiling. This study conducted adsorption experiment of heavy metals using waste bones as an absorbent for recycling the waste bone and evaluated its feasibility. Sintered cattle bone (SCB) was manufactured in powder form after sintering at 550 ̊C 600 ̊C and pulverizing, and crystal s...

BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is a clinically important and common disease of older cats. The pathological changes and molecular mechanisms which underpin the disease have yet to be described. In this study we evaluated selected histological and transcriptomic measures in the articular cartilage and subchondral bone (SCB) of the humeral condyle of cats with or without OA. RESULTS The histomo...

Saccharomyces mating-type switching occurs through a double-strand break-initiated gene conversion event at MAT, using one of two donors located distantly on the same chromosome, HMLalpha and HMRa. MATa cells preferentially choose HMLalpha, a decision that depends on the recombination enhancer (RE) that controls recombination along the left arm of chromosome III. We previously showed that an fh...

BACKGROUND Hydrogen is regarded as an attractive future energy carrier for its high energy content and zero CO2 emission. Currently, the majority of hydrogen is generated from fossil fuels. However, from an environmental perspective, sustainable hydrogen production from low-cost lignocellulosic biomass should be considered. Thermophilic hydrogen production is attractive, since it can potentiall...
