This review article reports for the first time phytochemistry, ethnobotanical uses and pharmacological activities of all Cupressus L. species other than Cupressus sempervirens L. Indeed, the literature survey showed how many other Cupressus species a...

Scientific evidence shows that breathing or aerobic programs can improve the quality of life of asthma patients. The aim of this work was to find out the influences of breathing exercises and breathing exercises combined with aerobic exercise on chan...

In order to study the mechanical performance and friction slip mechanism of the interface of a composite timber column under inclined deformation, the unilateral contact mechanical model of an ancient composite timber column under inclined deformatio...

The water hammer phenomenon is the main problem in long-distance pipeline networks. The MOC (Method of characteristics) and finite difference methods lead to severe constraints on the mesh and Courant number, while the finite volume method of the sec...

An electrically heated blackbody radiation source comprising thin metal film on a dielectric substrate and an integrating cavity was designed, fabricated, and experimentally studied at frequencies from 75 to 500 GHz. Analytical and numerical modeling...

In this study, we proposed a new adjacent variable thickness hexagonal tube (AVTHT) and performed crushing analysis and crashworthiness optimization under multiple loadings. First, the finite element models were constructed and validated by experimen...

This study, based on circular economy principles and sustainable development practices, aims to present the results of soil samples analysis after their mixture with a biobed bio-mixture of straw, soil and compost, used for two consecutive years as o...

The data-driven intelligent fault diagnosis method of rolling bearings has strict requirements regarding the number and balance of fault samples. However, in practical engineering application scenarios, mechanical equipment is usually in a normal sta...

The introduction of novel materials and technologies in oral research has permitted the rapid evolution of dentistry, as confirmed by the increasing number of publications on this topic [...]

This article investigates and presents a case study on the Beijing Subway Line 12 excavation beneath the existing Qinghuayuan Tunnel. The composite pre-reinforcement technique was used in conjunction with the shallow tunneling method to control the d...
