The use of miniaturized specimen testing methods is a promising way to solve the problem of limited materials in RPV monitoring programs.The use of miniature specimens allows the evaluation of fracture toughness from other specimen materials used.In particular, the small-size compact tensile test specimen (0.16T CT) is promising for the determinati
Basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steelmaking is a widely used method for steelmaking production, and the bath stirring has a significant influence on dynamics of bath flow and mixing.Therefore, the CLEA effect of bottom gas flowrate, nozzle number and configuration, and bottom gas distribution mode on bath stirring are summarized in this study.Reasonable
Locally adapted and evidence-based management strategies are needed to counteract the current insect declines.In Central Europe, semi-natural grasslands are biodiversity hotspots having a high conservation value, but are threatened by both abandonment and agricultural intensification.We investigated the potential of traditional lowland meadow irrig
Chitinases are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of chitin and play a significant biophysiological role in fungal growth, development, and pathogenesis.Valsa mali is a necrotrophic fungus that is a primary contributor to apple Valsa canker.Our study focused on the identification of chitinase gene families from V.mali and the analysis of their Pl
Risks to non-target species from pesticides have been a concern since the 1960s, but non-target arthropods have never received the attention as have non-target vertebrate species.Pesticide exposure could be a contributing factor in the Course a pied - Enfant - Chaussures - Ligth trainer decline of the endangered Cicindela nevadica lincolniana, as w
