Study of the Influence of Desert Sand-Mineral Admixture on the Abrasion Resistance of Concrete.

The incorporation of desert sand-mineral admixture improves the abrasion resistance of concrete. To prolong the service life of assembled concrete channels and mitigate the depletion of river sand resources, the effects of fly ash (FA), silica fume (SF), desert sand (DS), and basalt fiber (BF) on the mechanical properties and the abrasion resistance of concrete were examined, alongside an analysis of their microstructures to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of influence. The results indicated that the abrasion resistance strength of concrete mixed with 10% FA and 0.

Mechanism of Transcription Factor ChbZIP1 Enhanced Alkaline Stress Tolerance in .

Alkaline environments such as alkaline lands, lakes, and industrial wastewater are not conducive to the growth of plants and microorganisms due to high pH and salinity. ChbZIP1 is a bZIP family transcription factor isolated from an alkaliphilic microalgae ( sp. BLD).

Identifying a Biocontrol Bacterium with Disease-Prevention Potential and Employing It as a Powerful Biocontrol Agent Against .

Biocontrol microbes are environment friendly and safe for humans and animals. To seek biocontrol microbes effective in suppressing is important for tomato production. is a soil-borne pathogen capable of causing wilt in numerous plant species.

The Bile Acid Metabolism of Intestinal Microorganisms Mediates the Effect of Different Protein Sources on Muscle Protein Deposition in .

The most economically important trait of the is meat quality. Protein deposition is essential in muscle growth and nutritional quality formation. The effects and potential mechanisms of feed protein sources on crustaceans' muscle protein deposition have not been elucidated.

Genomic Landscape and Prediction of Udder Traits in Saanen Dairy Goats.

Goats are essential to the dairy industry in Shaanxi, China, with udder traits playing a critical role in determining milk production and economic value for breeding programs. However, the direct measurement of these traits in dairy goats is challenging and resource-intensive. This study leveraged genotyping imputation to explore the genetic parameters and architecture of udder traits and assess the efficiency of genomic prediction methods.
