Proximity to bait and social interactions influence individual wild pig (Sus scrofa) visitation at bait sites

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Individual wild pig bait site visitation and time to initial detection is primarily influenced by space use (i.e., proximity to bait) and whether wild pigs from other social groups visited before. Specifically, females are less likely to visit a bait site if an adult male visits a site before them.

Raman spectroscopic study of the mineral xonotlite Ca6Si6O17(OH)2 - A component of plaster boards [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The mineral xonotlite Ca 6Si 6O 17(OH) 2 is a crystalline calcium silicate hydrate which is widely used in plaster boards and in many industrial applications. The structure of xonotlite is best described as having a dreierdoppelketten silicate structure,

Bio‐Based Microfluidics With Snail Slime: A By‐Product of Agriculture Plays an Exciting Role in the Chemistry of Microfluidic Reaction Chambers

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Due to a broad spectrum of active ingredients, snail slime presents a variety of exciting physical properties and chemical reactivities. Especially in the role of the reduction‐ and stabilizing agent for the manufacturing of gold nanoparticles, its great potential is revealed. Utilising the proteins found in slime, Nanoparticle‐comprising hydrogels are

Plaster Layout Process in Civil Works with a Focus on Clean Production [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The constant expansion of civil construction and the increasing use of plaster gives rise to a solid waste generation problem causing difficulties for the disposal or reuse of this material. The generation of plaster waste represents an economic problem,

Critical Review of Brazil Disk Techniques for Tensile Strength Characterization With an Emphasis on High Explosive Materials

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mechanical properties are a critical performance metric for many high explosive (HE) materials and tensile strength properties are particularly important. Direct tensile measurements using dogbone shaped samples are the gold standard but they have the disadvantage that they are fairly large and require samples machined from billets.

Leveraging Life Cycle Assessment for Informing Packaging Eco‐Design and Eco‐Modulation

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eco‐modulation is designed to promote the adoption of eco‐design. However, in practice, its application is mostly concentrated on end‐of‐life (EoL) optimization. This study addresses the gap by proposing a framework to assess product–packaging systems as integrated units throughout the full life cycle.
