A new microemulsion formula (Sandimmun Neoral: SIM-NO) was developed to solve the problem of variable absorption and lower bioavailability of conventional Sandimmune (SIM), showed 74 to 139% better bioavailability, and w...

Abstract Jurassic sandy mudstone formations are common in the Ordos mining area, and the diagenetic period is relatively late. The lithological characteristics and creep mechanical properties of this formation form the b...

When males have high reproductive investment and female quality is variable, male assessment of sexual partners is expected. Allocosa alticeps (Mello-Leitão 1944) is a nocturnal wolf spider that shows a reversal in th...

A pictorial field guide to the 30 species of sandfly most commonly encountered in Pará State is presented, based on the easily recognised external characters of the length of the 5th palpal segment, thoracic infuscation...

Abstract Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease caused by Leishmania spp., transmitted to hosts through the bite of female phlebotomine sandflies, with domestic dogs serving as reservoirs for the disease. Understanding the...

Dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) serve a significant role in regulating ecosystem services on rangelands. However, the influence of grazing management on dung beetle communities remains largely unknown. The purpo...

The large-diameter monopiles of offshore wind turbines are always subjected to multiaxial loads. The design criteria for the vertical and lateral bearing behaviors of piles are designed independently, while lots of tests...

Morphological anomalies in phlebotomine sand flies are reviewed and updated with abnormalites observed in Venezuela on the species L. trinidadensis, L.shannoni, L. lichyi and L. gomezi, and the description of a teratolog...

The Late Oligocene Huagang Formation in the Xihu Depression, East China Sea Shelf Basin, records typical braided river delta deposits. However, the influence of astronomical forcing on sand-body distribution remains uncl...

Abstract Concrete can be engineered with self-healing capabilities using bacteria, providing an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to traditional repairs. This research evaluated the biocementing potential of Bacil...

Abstract Two field experiments were conducted during the 2023 and 2024 summer seasons to evaluate the effects of commercial biostimulants on peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) productivity and soil health under arid sandy soil...

Portland cement production is a major contributor to global CO2 emissions, and the scarcity of natural river sand limits conventional concrete production. Despite increasing interest in geopolymer concrete (GPC), studies...

Book review on Dušan Coufal – Adam Pálka (edd.), Conflict after Compromise Regulating Tensions in Multi-Confessional Societies in the Fifteenth Century, Sandstein, Dresden 2024, 188 s., ISBN 978-3-95498-830-3

To illustrate the variation laws of strength characteristics and micromechanism of rubber-sand mixtures, a series of laboratory tests including direct shear tests, unconfined compressive strength tests and scanning elect...

This study investigates the tensile mechanical properties of gray sandstone under dynamic impact. Drawing on the one-dimensional stress wave theory, we conducted a one-dimensional spallation experiment using a 50 mm diam...

This study investigates the ingestion of microplastics (MPs) by zooplankton in the surf zone of southwestern Atlantic sandy beaches, an extremely turbulent environment with high interaction between suspended particles. S...

The study reports photographic evidence of range extension for three avian species: Western Tragopan Tragopan melanocephalus (Gray, 1829), Tibetan Snowcock Tetraogallus tibetanus (Gould, 1854), and Tibetan Sandgrouse Syr...

The presence of calcium sulfate (CaSO4) impacts soil structure, bonding, pore size distribution, and water-holding characteristics, altering both compaction characteristics and soil water characteristic curves (SWCC). In...

Abstract We report sand fly collections in the proximity of two major cities in the state of Acre, Brazil, and cite 19 species as new state records. These, along with other previously recorded phlebotomines from Acre, br...

The bodies of animals host millions of microbial communities collectively known as the microbiome. The microbiome plays a crucial role in various processes related to the host’s health and well-being. Although our unde...

Glass fiber-reinforced polymer bars are currently used to reinforce concrete in an attempt to overcome the corrosion issue encountered with ordinary steel. Different types of surface treatment were applied to the smooth ...

Esta tesis indaga acerca de algunos de los aspectos lingüísticos y discursivos presentes en la construcción de la narrativa de la autora chicana Sandra Cisneros (1954-). En contraposición a la literatura canónica, l...

Los intereses del Reino Unido en el océano Atlántico sudoccidental han sido persistentes a lo largo de los siglos. El significado geoestratégico de estos espacios tuvo características propias del contexto mundial de ...

"El presente informe tiene como principal objetivo analizar la viabilidad económica de desarrollar el recurso de Tight Gas Sands en la Argentina. Para ello, en primer lugar, se analiza la situación macroeconómica de ...
