The southern tropical coastal areas of China are high-temperature and high-humidity salt environments, which hinder the durability and service life of ordinary asphalt pavement. To enhance the durability of asphalt pavement in these areas, modified bagasse fiber combined with nano-TiO was used to improve the corrosion resistance of asphalt pavement in high-temperature and high-humidity salt environments. The micro-morphology, high-temperature oil absorption, high-temperature heat resistance, and hygroscopicity of bagasse fiber modified using three silane coupling agents combined with NaOH were compared, and the best silane coupling agent/NaOH modification scheme for bagasse fiber was found.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the role of miR-96, a member of the retinal microRNA-183 cluster, in the development and function of photoreceptors in mice using CRISPR/Cas9 technology to create a mutant model.
  • Findings showed that miR-96 mutant mice experienced a delay in cone development, with mislocalization of cone-specific markers and alterations in retinal structure and function observable through ERG and OCT tests.
  • Despite the initial developmental delays, the study concluded that the absence of miR-96 does not completely halt photoreceptor development, indicating its critical role in the maturation of cones in the retina.
