Basal anti-heave stability of foundation pits in unsaturated soils
Yantu gongcheng xuebaoIt is known that the soils surrounding a foundation pit are commonly in an unsaturated condition and the displacement of a retaining wall routinely rotates around wall bottom (i.e., RB displacement mode). The bearing capacity of strip foundations at wall

The Neuroprotective Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate (Punica granatum)
Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.The Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate on Neurodegeneration. ABSTRACT Pomegranate is an exceptional fruit that can have several beneficial effects on human health. The peel of pomegranate, a waste product, should be recovered as it still contains valuable constituents, including phenolic compounds, minerals and fibre. The recovery of

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Anthropogenic impacts on the thermal regime of rivers include climate change and deforestation. For the latter, developing modelling tools that can account for the impact of varying vegetation cover on river temperatures is essential. This study describes a new addition to the CEQUEAU hydrological and water temperature model: a shading ...

Unsaturated soil mechanics for slope stabilization
, 2011 Rainfall-induced slope failures commonly occur in the unsaturated zone above groundwater table in many steep residual soil slopes. Dynamic variations in groundwater table and flux boundary conditions across ground surface result in changes in pore-water ...

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Prostate cancer (PCa) is an endocrine‐related cancer highly dependent on androgenic signaling. Beyond hormone dependence, extrinsic factors play a significant role in the risk of developing PCa, which raises concern about the influence of environmental compounds such as endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Tributyltin (TBT) is an EDC used in

Maternal Lead Exposure Induces Glandular Alterations in the Salivary Glands of Rat Male Offspring
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lead (Pb) is a widely distributed environmental pollutant that is highly noxious due to its toxicokinetic characteristics. Pb exposure can damage vital organ systems, including the central nervous and stomatognathic systems. As salivary glands play an important role in oral homeostasis, this study aimed to investigate the effects of maternal ...
