Article Synopsis
- The demand for natural river sand in construction has led to environmental issues, prompting research into using crushed oyster shell sand (OSS) as a sustainable alternative for fine aggregates in mortar.
- This study conducted Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar tests on mortar samples with varying OSS replacement ratios to analyze changes in dynamic properties like peak stress and elastic modulus.
- Results indicated that while using up to 20% OSS improved mortar strength and energy absorption, higher replacement ratios resulted in decreased performance due to the porous nature of OSS, highlighting the need for careful balance in OSS incorporation.
Article Synopsis
- Waste oyster shells (WOS) can be used as a sustainable alternative to traditional fine aggregates in concrete, addressing environmental concerns about river sand depletion and WOS disposal.
- Research predominantly focuses on the static properties of WOS concrete, while dynamic mechanical properties have been less explored.
- Testing showed that using up to 20% WOS improves concrete's dynamic performance, but using more than that results in worse properties due to increased air content affecting water absorption.
Xiaoqinglong decoction (XQLD) is widely used clinically in the treatment of childhood cough variant asthma (CVA). However, its potential mechanism is still unknown. In the present study, the authors investigate the biological network and signalling pathway of XQLD in treatment of childhood CVA using network pharmacology-based analysis and experimental validation.

Objective: The aim of this study is to explore the active ingredients of ECT and their targets for asthma and investigate the potential mechanism of ECT on asthma.
Methods: Firstly, the active ingredients and target of ECT were screened for BATMAN and TCMSP, and functional analysis was done via DAVID. Then, the animal model was induced by ovalbumin (OVA) and aluminum hydroxide.
Porous concrete is an energy absorption material, which has been widely used in civil engineering, traffic engineering and disaster reduction engineering. However, the effect of pore structure on the impact behavior of the porous concrete is lacked. In this study, a series of drop-weight impact tests were carried out on three typical types of porous concrete, i.
