Experimental Study on Performance of High-Performance Concrete Based on Different Fine Aggregate Systems

Buildings
To advance the adoption of manufactured sand, this study investigated concrete mix designs wherein manufactured sand partially substituted natural river sand and fully replaced fine aggregates. The influences of the water–binder ratio and fly ash content

Global analysis of annual survival among shorebirds reveals a negative effect of migration distance and a decline in recent decades

Oikos, EarlyView.
Annual survival is a key demographic parameter driving population trends in wildlife populations. However, despite numerous species‐specific or regional studies, global reviews of the factors affecting the survival of declining taxa remain scarce. Here, we investigated annual survival of fledged immature and adult shorebirds, a globally‐distributed and

Understanding the effects of patch‐burn grazing management on aboveground grassland invertebrate biodiversity

Oikos, EarlyView.
Landscape heterogeneity is widely recognized as a driver of biodiversity, yet its consequences for above‐ground, foliage‐dwelling insect communities under active grassland management remain underexplored. Patch‐burn grazing (PBG), which rotates fire across patches within a grazed landscape, is designed to promote spatial and temporal heterogeneity by ...

Evaluation of Fiber‐Matrix Debonding in Glass, Carbon, and Hybrid Fiber Composites Under Transverse Loading by Full‐Field Measurements

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
An experimental multiscale approach to investigate how fiber spacing, orientation, and material hybridization influence fiber‐matrix debonding and transverse cracking. ABSTRACT This study aims to experimentally quantify fiber‐matrix debonding and transverse crack evolution in single‐fiber and double‐fiber composite specimens, with particular emphasis ...

Development of Leishmania Parasite in Interaction with Sand Fly Vectors of Leishmaniasis

تحقیقات سلامت در جامعه, 2018
Introduction and purpose: Leishmaniasis are neglected diseases that are endemic in more than half of the provinces of Iran. The causative agent of this disease is Leishmania protozoa and its transmission to human is through the bites of phlebotomine sand

Rhizobacteria regulate colonising Sitobion avenae aphid populations through induced host resistance and alter plant volatiles promoting early parasitoid recruitment on barley (Hordeum vulgare)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Rhizobacterial inoculation of barley reduced Sitobion avenae populations by inducing plant resistance and modifying volatiles that attracted parasitoid wasps earlier, enhancing both bottom‐up and top‐down pest control. Abstract BACKGROUND Soil rhizobacteria can enhance crop resistance to insect herbivores and influence higher trophic interactions ...

Development of new screening tools to evaluate dog exposure to Phlebotomus tobbi and Phlebotomus papatasi sand flies

Parasites & Vectors
Background Leishmaniases are a group of medically and veterinary important diseases caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania (Kinetoplastida) and transmitted by blood-feeding female sand flies (Diptera: Phlebotominae).
