On the importance of including both sexes in animal studies – insights from home‐cage monitoring
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A review of behavioural studies using home‐cage monitoring (HCM) systems revealed that over 61% of studies used only male subjects, with only 24% including both sexes, despite evidence of substantial behavioural differences between male and female animals. This bias could influence the outcomes of biomedical research.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Firms' continuous pursuit of making a profit in the competitive market may ignore the actions related to environmental responsibilities. This set of actions for financial gains constitutes environmental misconduct, which not only harms ecosystems and communities but also brings reputational damage.

Understanding the rebound surface hardness of concrete
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2015 Surface hardness testing of materials can be considered as the oldest method to get information about strength related material properties. In recent decades the rebound hammer has been the most popular surface hardness testing device for concrete ...

Age Factor on Estimating of Strength of Concrete in Structures by Rebound Hammer
Concrete Research and Technology, 2012 The relationship between the rebound number and strength of concrete varies as a function of the age of concrete, but the effect of age can generally be ignored for concrete between 3 days and 3 months old. However, for older concrete, it may be possible to develop the age factor of the rebound number of concrete taking into account the concrete's ...
