Abstract Bacterial persisters show tolerance to bactericidal antibiotics and play essential roles in chronic infections; however, the general mechanisms underlying persister formation and antibiotic tolerance remain insufficiently characterized. In this study, the Escherichia coli Keio library was used to identify genes involved in ciprofloxacin ...

ABSTRACT Design optimization for automatically generating optimal design results is a promising technique for enhancing the efficiency of design processes and outcomes. However, its development for soil nail reinforced slopes is limited since the traditional slope stability analysis using the limit equilibrium method (LEM) becomes relatively time ...

Analytical Modeling of Heat Transfer and Deformation Around a Circular Cavity in Elastic Ground
ABSTRACT The subsurface is increasingly exploited to host energy, utilities, and infrastructure systems that interact with surrounding soils and rocks through their thermal and functional operation. Prominent examples are provided by energy geostructures, district heating networks, buried power cables, steam and water pipes, and underground nuclear ...

Abstract Unsustainable hunting practices can alter population dynamics, driving biodiversity declines, which leads to ‘empty forests’. Understanding hunting behaviour, including motivations for hunting and relationships with market drivers, and access to hunting grounds are important to develop affirmative policies to stem biodiversity loss.

Abstract Volunteers have been involved in nature observations for decades through citizen science initiatives, providing large data sets as well as problem identification that allow a more complete understanding of many natural phenomena. Although communication is a core component in citizen science, the key factors that determine its effectiveness in ...
