Implications of size‐selective fisheries on sexual selection
Evolutionary Applications, 2020 Fisheries often combine high mortality with intensive size selectivity and can, thus, be expected to reduce body size and size variability in exploited populations.

Effects of plastic fragments on plant performance are mediated by soil properties and drought
Scientific Reports, 2022 In recent years, the effects of plastic contamination on soil and plants have received growing attention. Plastic can affect soil water content and thus may interact with the effects of drought on soil and plants.

Retailer's characteristics and compliance with the single-use plastic bag ban
Sustainability Analytics and Modeling, 2023 The increasing use of single-use plastic bags has led to a global concern. Cities in developing countries are enforcing a (single-use) plastic bags ban to reduce the use of plastic in the retail supply chain.

Elastic-plastic response of TiB2 under shock compression
AIP Advances, 2022 Particle velocity profiles of a TiB2 ceramics under one-dimension plate impact were measured up to 45 GPa. The Hugoniot-elastic limit of TiB2 was determined to be 8–9 GPa.

Effect of nonlinearity of restrainer and supports on the elasto-plastic seismic response of continuous girder bridge [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2014 During an earthquake, the nonlinearity of the bridge structure mainly occurs at the supports, bridge piers and restrainers. When entering nonlinear stage, members of the bridge structure affect the elasto-plastic seismic response of the whole structure ...

Heat shock response and homeostatic plasticity [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 Heat shock response and homeostatic plasticity are mechanisms that afford functional stability to cells in the face of stress. Each mechanism has been investigated independently, but the link between the two has not been extensively explored. We explore this link.

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2016 The double impulse is introduced as a substitute of the fling-step near-fault ground motion and a critical elastic-plastic response of a 2DOF (two-degree-of-freedom) building structure under the ‘critical double impulse’ is evaluated.

Plastic responses of bryozoans to ocean acidification [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2017 Phenotypic plasticity has the potential to allow organisms to respond rapidly to global environmental change, but the range and effectiveness of these responses are poorly understood across taxa and growth strategies. Colonial organisms might be particularly resilient to environmental stressors, as organizational modularity and successive asexual ...

Seismic Response Characteristics of Stabilizing Pile Based on Elastic-Plastic Analysis
Shock and Vibration, 2018 Stabilizing pile is widely used in the landslide controlling projects and shows excellent seismic performance under the action of earthquake. Therefore, in order to improve seismic design theory, it is of importance to study the seismic response ...

Evaluation of Galleria mellonella immune response as a key step toward plastic degradation
Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology, 2023 Background Plastic's remarkable durability presents a significant challenge for our planet, leading to widespread environmental damage. However, some organisms, such as Galleria mellonella larvae, have shown a unique capability to consume and degrade ...
