Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The use of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in precast tunnel segments is among the most established and representative applications of this material. Over the past two decades, numerous tunnel linings were constructed with partial or total substitution of conventional steel reinforcement by fibers, this yielding to quantifiable benefits in ...

VIEW, EarlyView.Cementum, the mineralized tissue covering all mammalian tooth roots, helps maintain tooth stability, but its internal organization is still poorly understood. In this study, we combine quantitative histologial methods to map the regional distributions of collagen fibers and proteoglycan‐rich matrix layers in porcine cementum.

Tree cover and geographic origin of tree species drive bird functional groups in urban environments
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Urban trees provide habitat and resources for wild species in cities and support biodiversity provision of ecosystem services, among which insect control is particularly relevant. Predators of insects are promoted by the presence of trees and, in turn, may enhance biosecurity of the trees.

Surface Micro‐Discharge Plasma for Multiple Teeth Bleaching: Efficacy, Mechanism and Safety
High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the commonly‐used bleaching chemical in clinical practice, but its excessive concentrations can cause tooth damage. Atmospheric pressure cold plasma is considered a promising new technique for tooth bleaching. Surface micro‐discharge (SMD) devices can generate large‐scale plasma, which holds potential for treating ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The physiology of tropical mosses, liverworts and lichens may be challenged by the daily weather patterns in lowland rainforests. Since these poikilohydric organisms can only photosynthesize and respire when hydrated, unfavourable timing of light and water availability (

Forces Behind South Australia's Unusual Structural Changes Since 1840
Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The agricultural sector's share of GDP in growing economies typically declines but, for a century from the early 1850s, Australia's did not. That trend is most evident for the former colony and now State of South Australia (SA). Moreover, that share for SA has been almost flat since 1980 as well, along with the agricultural sector's share of ...
