Sustainable Soil Stabilisation

Soil stabilisation is crucial to tackle the problem of soil disasters which may occur as a natural calamity or man-induced calamity. Many people are displaced from their homes and some even lose their life in such disasters. There are 3 main types of soil stabilisation including physical stabilisation, that is physically altering the site geology, such

Sustainable development of roadways in Africa

Materiales de Construccion, 2012
Dallas Roadway Products (DRP) soil stabilization technology can effectively improve road foundation construction and with it the strength of roadway sub-grades and sub-bases. Soil samples were collected from roads in Nigeria’s six geo-political regions.

Transcription Factor Promiscuity Drives Regulatory Rewiring and Evolvability in Gene Networks in Bacteria

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
When a master transcription factor (TF) is lost, bacteria can rapidly rewire gene regulatory networks by co‐opting related regulators. Using experimental evolution in Pseudomonas fluorescens, we show that TF promiscuity (low‐level, non‐cognate binding) provides the raw material for rewiring. Successful co‐option follows a predictable hierarchy governed

Chemical Stabilisation of Clayey Soil—Comparison of a Variety of Additives with Respect to Their Effects on the Soil Compressive Strength and Shear Strength

Buildings
The unconfined compressive strength and shear strength represent the basic mechanical properties of clayey soil. If the soil in its natural state does not have sufficiently good mechanical properties, in engineering practice, it can be improved by ...

Redox‐Dependent Chaperoning of GBF1 Condensates Regulates Seed Germination in Arabidopsis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In dormant seeds (low ROS), GBF1 forms liquid condensates to repress the germination gene CathB3, and the chaperone GIP1 maintains condensate liquidity and repressive activity. Upon imbibition (high ROS), ROS oxidize GIP1 during germination, impairing its chaperone function.
