Fracture of the Passive Film on Reinforcing Steel in Concrete Under Mechanical Loading
Bending load induces a flexural crack in reinforced concrete specimen. Above the critical load inducing crack, a macro cell corrosion current is recorded by steel coupons embedded in the concrete. The macro cell current corresponds to the rupture of the passive film. ABSTRACT This study investigates the fracture of the passive film on reinforcing steel

Abstract The land−sea interface is a vital component of global biogeochemical cycles, where microorganisms drive the cycling of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur. This review synthesizes the research progress from representative land−sea interfaces to elucidate how the microbial community structure and metabolic function influence the mobilization ...

ABSTRACT We examined whether Scythian‐era populations living in different ecological zones had distinctive oral health patterns during the Iron Age. Our interdisciplinary approach should clarify whether these populations had different diets or behavioral practices.

Simulating Arctic Greening: Microbial Responses in Thawing Yedoma Permafrost
ABSTRACT Arctic permafrost soils and sediments store vast amounts of organic carbon. With global warming intensifying, these soils are increasingly exposed to microbial decomposition. Further, Arctic warming and longer growing seasons drive regional greening, potentially accelerating the degradation of the previously frozen organic matter through ...

Our study tests how soil and plant biodiversity can enhance sustainability of crop production in Kenya. We tested whether mixtures of maize varieties performed better than monocultures and tested their response to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Mycorrhizal responsiveness differed significantly by maize variety, and genetic mixtures outperformed ...
