Urban forests consist of various environments from intensely managed spaces to conservation areas and are often reservoirs of a diverse range of invasive pathogens due to their introduction through the nursery trade. Pathogens are likely to persist b...
The invasion of the golden mussel has resulted in considerable environmental and socioeconomic alterations, which present a considerable threat to the native biodiversity and sustainability of the region. Understanding the distribution and biological...
The bridgehead settlement problem continues to be one of the most chronic issues affecting long-term bridge performance. In addition, the magnitude of non-staggered-step settlement across the bridge approach transition has not been quantified. Non-co...
A detailed comparison of the gas permeability of four Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity containing Tröger’s base (TB-PIMs) is reported. In particular, we present the results of a systematic study of the differences between four related p...
Sanggenon X, an unusual tri-O-bridged Diels-Alder adduct, was isolated from Cortex Mori Radicis. Its structure was established by spectroscopic analysis, including NMR and HR-MS (High Resolution Mass Spectrometry). Sanggenon X contained three O-bridg...
Osteoporosis, characterized by low bone mass and a disruption of bone microarchitecture, is traditionally treated using drugs or lifestyle modifications. Recently, several preclinical and clinical studies have investigated the effects of selenium on...
The highway network is densely distributed in the southeast coast of China. Highway subgrades passing through soft soil areas often produce large settlements, resulting in pavement cracking, bridgehead jumping, and other diseases. In order to study t...
Adamantane is known to have two different carbon environments, the C1-type (or bridgehead) and C2-type (or methylene bridge), serving as a foundation to explore the effects of boron substitution at these sites. Using DFT with B3LYP/6-31G(d), the stru...
For an existing bridge constructed with separate spans, the ends of adjacent flanges are disconnected. The problem of separated driving may occur at the bridgehead position after traffic conversion. The idea of integral splicing two separate spans of...
Fusarium circinatum Nirenberg & O’Donnel is listed among the species recommended for regulation as quarantine pests in Europe. Over 60 Pinus species are susceptible to the pathogen and it also causes disease on Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menz...
Jiangnan water towns, as distinctive cultural landscapes in China, are confronting the dual challenge of surging tourist flows and imbalances in spatial distribution. Research on pedestrian dynamics has so far offered narrow coverage of influencing f...
