High temperature fracture behavior and damage evolution of recycled aggregate concrete produced from metakaolin modified parent concrete

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The increasing use of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) offers significant environmental benefits by reducing construction and demolition waste; however, its fracture performance and damage evolution under elevated temperatures remain insufficiently understood, particularly when recycled aggregates are derived from metakaolin modified parent ...

Achieving sustainable and durable concrete using high‐volume SiO2: Engineering properties, environmental and economic benefits

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores the potential of high‐volume amorphous silica (SiO2) replacement for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in concrete to reduce carbon emissions. Amorphous SiO2, such as silica fume (SF) and CO2 mineralization‐produced Si‐rich gel, offers superior properties to concrete but is under‐researched for its use in concrete with high ...

Risk factors for dental overgrowth in rabbits: A retrospective study using electronic health records

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Rabbits’ teeth grow continuously. Overgrown teeth are a frequent cause for veterinary consultation and can have severe welfare implications. The risk factors for overgrown teeth are incompletely understood. Methods Rabbits with overgrown teeth recorded in their electronic health records (EHRs) were identified from a large population

Ungulate substrate use in fauna passages

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Fauna passages are increasingly constructed at major roads and railways to mitigate the negative effects of infrastructure and traffic on wildlife. The function of such passages depends on design, including the construction materials, soil, and vegetation.

Can Farmers' Tactical Decisions Jointly Lift Profits and Lower Emissions in a Mixed Enterprise Farm System?

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study assesses how weather‐year‐dependent sheep and crop management tactics affect farm profitability and farm system greenhouse gas emissions in the central Great Southern region in Australia. To investigate the impact of farmers' tactical decisions on farm profit and emissions, a whole farm optimisation model known as the Australian ...

Comparative Efficiency of eDNA, Camera Traps and Scat Surveys to Detect a Semi‐Aquatic Mammal Across Multiple Catchments

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Monitoring semi‐aquatic mammals is essential for their conservation, but it is made difficult by their elusive lifestyle and generally low abundance. Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) monitoring has traditionally relied on scat surveys, but eDNA and camera‐trapping are emerging as promising alternatives.

Diabetes‐Induced Testicular Injury: Potential Protective Roles of Curcumin, Garcinia kola, and Momordica charantia in Rats

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) induces multifaceted cellular and structural alterations in the male reproductive system, thereby predisposing to infertility. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the morphological, stereological, biochemical, histopathological, and ultrastructural changes induced by DM in testicular tissue, and to ...
