Application of near infrared spectroscopy in cotton fiber micronaire measurement

Information Processing in Agriculture, 2016
The term “micronaire” describes an important cotton fiber property by characterizing both the fiber maturity and fineness. In practice, micronaire is regularly measured in laboratories with the well established high volume instrumentation (HVI™) protocol.

Fallow Land Enhances Carbon Sequestration in Glomalin and Soil Aggregates Through Regulating Diversity and Network Complexity of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Under Climate Change in Relatively High-Latitude Regions

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Soil aggregation and aggregate-associated carbon (C) play an essential function in soil health and C sequestration. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are considered to be primary soil aggregators due to the combined effect of extraradical hyphae and ...

Structural and biochemical insights into the thermostable esterase Ta0887 from Thermoplasma acidophilum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...

Effect of rice husk ash content and carbonization curing on lime-stabilized recycled aggregates: mechanical behavior and microscopic mechanism

Materials Research Express
The stabilization of recycled aggregates using rice husk ash (RHA) synergized with lime offers both the resource utilization of solid waste and an enhancement in the mechanical properties of recycled aggregates.

Applicability and chemical mechanism of alkali-activated fly ash and blast furnace slag stabilized soil for sustainable embankment

Case Studies in Construction Materials
The unreasonable disposal of waste soil in engineering not only occupies a large number of land resources, but also fails to save cost and protect environment.

A minimal cellulosome‐like system in Cellulosilyticum lentocellum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cellulose‐degrading bacteria typically use cellulosomes, large multi‐enzyme complexes on a scaffold protein. In Cellulosilyticum lentocellum, we characterise a far smaller arrangement, a single scaffold bound to one cellulase through a single cohesin‐dockerin interaction.

Seismic soil-structure interaction for pile supported systems [PDF]

, 2009
Civil engineering structures involve structural elements with direct contact with ground. When the external actions, such as earthquakes, act on these systems, neither the structural displacements nor the ground displacements, are independent of each ...

Improving Structure of Dark Loessial Soil by Addition of Potassium Fulvic Acid

Guan'gai paishui xuebao, 2022
【Objective】 The productivity of dark loessial soils is generally low due to their poor structure. We studied how to improve their structure using potassium fulvic acid. 【Method】 The experiment was conducted using pots.

Chronobiology of Cancer: How Aging Fuels Oncogenesis at the Molecular Level

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates the key biological pathways linking aging with cancer development and progression. In the upper left, cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation, toxins, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes DNA damage and genomic instability, whereas age‐related decline in repair mechanisms, such as ATM/ATR, BER, and NER ...

The underlying process of early ecological and genetic differentiation in a facultative mutualistic Sinorhizobium meliloti population

Scientific Reports, 2017
The question of how genotypic and ecological units arise and spread in natural microbial populations remains controversial in the field of evolutionary biology.
