The material of concrete is a three-phase composite material composed of an aggregate, a mortar and an interface transition zone (ITZ). Based on this characteristic, the axial tensile test of mortar, the interface and concrete specimens under intermediate strain rate was carried out in this paper. The sensitivity of these three materials to strain rate was compared and analyzed. The numerical simulation of the axial tension of the concrete materials was studied. The following conclusions are drawn: in the axial tension test, the rate of sensitivity of the specimen interface is the strongest. With the increase in strain rate, the tensile strength and elastic modulus of concrete specimens increase but the effect of the ITZ decreases. The low tensile strength of the ITZ leads to its failure in concrete. The parallel bond strain energy and the dissipated energy of specimens increase with the strain rate. When the strain rate is higher (greater than 1 × 10), the increase rate of the dissipated energy is greater than that of the parallel bond strain energy. The results of this research can provide the corresponding basis for the safety evaluation and the stability analysis of concrete engineering in the range of intermediate strain rate.

Phytoene synthase (PSY) is one of key enzymes in carotenogenesis that catalyze two molecules of geranylgeranyl diphosphate to produce phytoene. PSY is widespread in bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. Currently, functional role and catalytic mechanism of archaeal PSY homologues have not been fully clarified due to the limited reports.

Aims: Exposure to air pollution including diesel engine exhaust (DEE) is associated with increased risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Few studies have investigated the risk of AMI according to occupational exposure to DEE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between occupational exposure to DEE and the risk of first-time AMI.

Background: The climate crisis and depleting fossil fuel reserves have led to a drive for 'green' alternatives to the way we manufacture chemicals, and the formation of a bioeconomy that reduces our reliance on petrochemical-based feedstocks. Advances in Synthetic biology have provided the opportunity to engineer micro-organisms to produce compounds from renewable feedstocks, which could play a role in replacing traditional, petrochemical based, manufacturing routes. However, there are few examples of bio-manufactured products achieving commercialisation.

In natural environments, most rocks possess internal fissures and are often exposed to diverse external loads arising from engineering activities and ground stress, among other factors. This study aims to explore the influence of different loading rates on the mechanical properties and acoustic emission (AE) characteristics of fissured rocks and to develop an intrinsic damage model. To achieve this, prefabricated fissured rock specimens that mimic natural rocks were prepared.
