The paper is an extensive monographic review of the literature, and also uses the results of the authors’ own experimental research illustrating the noticed developmental tendencies of the filling material based on gutta-percha. The whole body of lit...

The atmospheric corrosion of weathering steels varies as a function of geographic zone, season, and other environmental variables related to that region which the experiments have been done. Meanwhile, rusting is a continuous process, and it is the m...

One of the many barriers to decarbonization and decentralization of the energy sector in developing countries is the economic uncertainty. As such, this study scrutinizes economics of three grid-independent hybrid renewable-based systems proposed to...

The BbRib gene participates in the infection process of Beauveria bassiana (B. bassiana). It also helps pathogenic fungi to escape and defeat the insect host immune defense system by regulating the innate immune response. However, model insects are r...

In recent years, bisphenol analogues such as bisphenol B (BPB), bisphenol F (BPF), and bisphenol S (BPS) have come to replace bisphenol A (BPA) in food packaging and food containers, since BPA has been shown to leach into food and water, causing nume...

High concentrations of particulate COD (pCOD) in the influent of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) systems are often associated to small granule diameter and a large fraction of flocculent sludge. At high particulate concentrations even granule stability...

The silkworm, Bombyx mori, uses a complex olfactory system to determine whether the food is edible. As an odor degrading enzyme, UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT) participates in the degradation of odor molecules in the olfactory system of the silkworm....

The energy efficiency of the enhanced geothermal system (EGS) measures the economic value of the heat production and electricity generation, and it is a key indicator of system production performance. Presently there is no systematic study on the inf...

In this paper, focusing on the inconvenience of variable value PID based on manual parameter adjustment for the hydraulic drive unit (HDU) of a legged robot, a method employing double-layer back propagation (BP) neural networks for learning the law o...

The use of hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent becomes increasingly important in chemistry. The example of vegetable oil epoxidation is an excellent illustration of the potential of such an agent. This reaction is traditionally performed by Prile...
