Effects of short-term exposure of simulated acid rain on the growth of Acacia nilotica

, 2007
The response and measurable effects of simulated acid rain at different pH levels of 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 and 7.0 on Acacia nilotica seedlings grown on black and red soils were investigated for six months. A set of 10 potted seedlings in each treatment was

Extreme Silk Toughness in Caerostris Spiders Is Limited to Adult Females

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We ask whether species with exceptionally tough silk, like Caerostris bark spiders, show different developmental patterns in silk toughness between ontogenetic stages and sexes. We found that only large females produce exceptionally tough silk with higher initial stiffness, while juvenile females as well as adult and juvenile males produce inferior ...

Gut Microbiota of Gray Snub‐Nosed Monkeys: Adaptation to Seasonal Variations Through Energy Compensation and Thermogenesis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Based on metagenome‐assembled genomes (MAGs), the gut microbiota of the gray snub‐nosed monkeys recovered 1229 non‐redundant MAGs. The gut microbiota showed an enhanced capacity to produce energy substrates with increased conversion activity of these substrates during winter.

Evolution of elastic modulus in fly ash cement mortar under acid rain exposure

Developments in the Built Environment
Fly ash (FA) improves mechanical properties and durability of cement-based materials at the later curing stages, but the impact on the elastic modulus (Em) of cement mortar exposed to acid rain remains unclear, making it crucial to investigate this ...

Modelling Patterns of Past Inundation Processes Combining Geoarchaeology and Morphometric Hydrological Analysis in the Shashe‐Limpopo Basin, South Africa

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riverine and valley systems across the globe have been central to the development of past urban centres. By AD 900, the Shashe and Limpopo Rivers seem to have facilitated the interaction and integration of early farming communities in southern Africa. This paper focuses on the application of geoarchaeological perspectives made available by the

Acid Resistance and Strength Performance of Bamboo Leaf Ash–Bone Ash Concrete under Simulated Acid Rain Conditions

Journal of Building Materials and Structures
Concrete infrastructure in oil and gas environments faces rapid degradation due to exposure to acid rain and chemically aggressive discharges. Conventional Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) concrete is particularly vulnerable in such zones, necessitating ...

Luminescence dating of coastal deposits from the Chanthaburi Plain, Thailand

Boreas, EarlyView.
The ongoing global sea‐level rise urges us to better understand the dynamics of coastal processes for predicting future changes. Sedimentary deposits reflect past coastal environments but require precise chronological data to place evidence into a temporal context.

Comparison of a 3D‐printed skin model with established methods for teaching punch biopsy with suturing

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.
Summary Background Realistic and accessible models are essential for training physicians in clinical procedures. This study investigated whether a cost‐effective 3D‐printed skin model is superior to fruit and foam models for teaching skin biopsies. Patients and Methods The study (10/2023‐02/2025) involved 148 medical students who compared the 3D skin ...
