British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigated the attitudes and beliefs of older adults towards deprescribing statins in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States, using an online, vignette‐based study. Presented with a hypothetical scenario in which a general practitioner advised stopping simvastatin, participants rated their level of agreement and ...

The impact of urbanisation on social behaviour: a comprehensive review
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a key driver of global environmental change and presents animals with novel stressors and challenges. It can fundamentally influence social behaviour and has the potential to reshape within‐ and between‐species social interactions. Given the role of social behaviour in reproductive fitness and survival, understanding how social

Evaluation of Marshall mix design of bituminous mixtures prepared with clinoptilolite
Pamukkale University Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2018 Today, the production of asphalt has increased with the increase in demand for highway network. However, due to harmful effects of asphalt production on the nature, researchers have tried to explore new kinds of asphalt that are environmentally-conscious, cost lower production and that exhibit at least the same performance of conventional ASPHALT in ...

Injuries in deep time: interpreting competitive behaviours in extinct reptiles via palaeopathology
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT For over a century, palaeopathology has been used as a tool for understanding evolution, disease in past communities and populations, and to interpret behaviour of extinct taxa. Physical traumas in particular have frequently been the justification for interpretations about aggressive and even competitive behaviours in extinct taxa.

Utilization of Industrial Waste Products in the Production of Asphalt Concrete for Road Construction
Slovak Journal of Civil Engineering, 2019 The utilization of industrial waste products to produce asphalt concrete for road construction was investigated. Aggregates were partially replaced with aluminum slag (AS) and crushed ceramic tiles (CCT) at 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% by weight. Physical

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Materials Research, 2013 Compaction technique used in Marshall design does not model the process of actual rolling procedures on site exactly. Carrying out laboratory compaction of dense bituminous mixtures with Superpave gyratory compactors is a more realistic way of simulating

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Basal and standard metabolic rate (BMR and SMR) are cornerstones of physiological ecology and are assumed to be relatively fixed intrinsic properties of organisms that represent the minimum energy required to sustain life. However, this assumption is conceptually flawed. Many core maintenance processes underlying SMR are temporally partitioned

Determination of the Optimum Lime Content for Asphalt Concrete Using Marshall Mix Design
Journal of Civil Engineering and Science, 2016 This study evaluates asphalt concrete with and without hydrated lime using the Marshall mix design method with the aim of determining the optimum amount of lime required to modify the asphalt concrete. The hydrated lime was added by the dry method to the aggregates blend of asphalt mix with different percentages of hydrated lime (1.0 - 8.0 %) and the ...
