Rethinking plastic waste: innovations in enzymatic breakdown of oil‐based polyesters and bioplastics

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Plastic pollution remains a critical environmental challenge, and current mechanical and chemical recycling methods are insufficient to achieve a fully circular economy. This review highlights recent breakthroughs in the enzymatic depolymerization of both oil‐derived polyesters and bioplastics, including high‐throughput protein engineering, de novo ...

Effects on Atmospheric Influence Depth for an Anchored Vegetation Reinforcement System to Protect Newly Excavated Expansive Soil Slopes

open access: yesShuitu baochi tongbao, 2022
[Objective] The data that could provide a reference basis for the application of an anchor-reinforced vegetation system (ARVS) were obtained to protect newly excavated slopes with expansive soil.

Bearing Capacity of A Strip Footing Resting On Treated And Untreated Soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Expansive soils are highly susceptible to volumetric changes leading to rapid loss in the bearing capacity of footings resting on them. Among several techniques available to treat expansive soils, lime or fly ash stabilization gained prominence during ...

Naked cuticle is essential for Drosophila wing development beyond Wingless signaling

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Naked cuticle (Nkd), a Wnt signaling inhibitor, assumes extensive roles in Drosophila wing development. Overexpressing Nkd causes smaller, crumpled wings, while also perturbing multiple signaling pathways and developmental genes. A specific region (R1S) is critical for Nkd's function as a signaling integrator, offering new insights for studying its ...

Chemical Amelioration of Expansive Soils

open access: yes, 2013
Expansive soils swell when they absorb water and shrink when water evaporates from them. Hence, lightly loaded civil engineering structures found in these soils are subjected to severe distress. Therefore, there is a need to ameliorate or improve these swelling soils through some innovative methods.

Failure Mechanisms and Protection Measures for Expansive Soil Slopes: A Review

open access: yesSustainability
Due to the significant hydrophilicity and cracking properties of expansive soils, expansive soil slopes are prone to destabilization and landslides after rainfall, seriously threatening the safety of buildings, highways, and railroads.

Mycobacterial cell division arrest and smooth‐to‐rough envelope transition using CRISPRi‐mediated genetic repression systems

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing and phenotypic exploration in nontuberculous mycobacteria. In this Research Protocol, we describe approaches to control, monitor, and quantitatively assess CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing in M. smegmatis and M. abscessus model organisms.

An elastoplastic model for unsaturated expansive soils based on shakedown concept [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
It is important to model the behaviour of unsaturated expansive soils subjected to hydromechanical loadings, because these wetting and drying cycles alter significantly their hydromechanical behaviour which may cause a huge differential settlement on the ...

Experimental Study on the Properties of Basalt Fiber–Cement-Stabilized Expansive Soil

open access: yesSustainability
Expansive soil is prone to rapid strength degradation caused by repeated volume swelling and shrinkage under alternating dry–wet conditions. Basalt fiber (BF) and cement are utilized to stabilize expansive soil, aiming to curb its swelling and shrinkage,
