Soluble thermostable antigens prepared from Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, as commonly applied in the ring precipitation test, were used in rapid slide tests. This method was easier to perform than the ring precipitation test and showed the same specificity. This specificity was higher than that obtained in slide agglutination tests using whole bacterial cells.

The ecophysiological and ecohydrological impacts of climate change and progressively increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO) concentration on agroecosystems are not well understood compared to the forest ecosystems. In this study, we utilized the presence of old apple and pear trees in the alpine valleys of Northern Italy (maintained for cultural heritage purposes) to investigate climate-scale physiological responses. We developed long-term tree-ring stable isotopic records (δC and δO) from apple (1976-2021) and pear trees (1943-2021).

Efficient synthesis of cyclic polymers remains a frontier challenge. We report here that macromolecular transesterification during a pseudoblock copolymerization process can be utilized for such a purpose. Organobase-catalyzed ring-opening alternating copolymerization of 3,4-dihydrocoumarin and epoxide is conducted with four-armed poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as a macroinitiator.

The study assessed the sensitivity of 20 provenances of European larch (Larix decidua Mill.) growing at provenance experimental trials located in lowland (Siemianice) and upland (Bliżyn) climate in Central Poland to air temperature and precipitation, including drought. The measure of the tree' sensitivity was their radial growth reactions, i.

Over recent decades, global warming has led to sustained glacier mass reduction and the formation of glacier lakes dammed by potentially unstable moraines. When such dams break, devastating Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) can occur in high mountain environments with catastrophic effects on populations and infrastructure. To understand the occurrence of GLOFs in space and time, build frequency-magnitude relationships for disaster risk reduction or identify regional links between GLOF frequency and climate warming, comprehensive databases are critically needed.

Since the rings of the angular contact ball bearings (ACBBs) are typical highly sensitive quenching thin-walled structure, the microstructure and properties variation of the rings during the heat treatment process are often difficult to be controlled precisely, and then the service life of the bearings is reduced. Therefore, in this study, the combination of the numerical simulation and experimental was carried out during the quenching and tempering process of ACBBs (7008C), the phase transformation of the inner and outer ring during the heat treatment process were explored, and the law of the microstructure evolution and the mechanical properties variation were revealed. Firstly, based on the multi-field coupling theory of temperature, microstructure and stress-strain field, the numerical simulation model of the heat treatment process of the bearing rings was established.
