The fiber length has a significant impact on the fiber bridging capacity and the mechanical properties of high ductility cementitious composites (HDCCs), which is related to fiber/matrix interfacial bonding.However, this fundamental knowledge of HDCCs design has rarely been investigated systematically.To this end, this study deeply investigates the

Background/Objective: Collision tumors composed of craniopharyngiomas and pituitary adenomas are extremely rare.We report a collision tumor formed by a papillary craniopharyngioma and Citrulline a growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma, which is the first report of such a tumor, to the best of our knowledge.Case Report: A 49-year-old man presen

Two invasive mussels (zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha and quagga mussel D.rostriformis bugensis) have restructured the benthic habitat of many water bodies in both Europe and North America.Quagga mussels dominate in most lakes where they co-occur even though zebra mussels typically invade lakes first.A reversal to zebra mussel over time has rare

Artisanal and small-scale gold mining is an important livelihood, but also the largest contributor to anthropogenic mercury emissions globally.Two key persistent challenges in reducing mercury use in artisanal and small-scale gold mining communities are effective educational interventions and accessibility to improved technologies.This study evalua

Plant nematodes recorded during surveys in the Tsitsikamma National Park are listed and Hip Bag two new Criconematinae species are described.Females of Criconemoides silvicola spec.nov.have the first three or four annuli separated from the following annuli by a discontinuity, dorsally and ventrally fused submedian lobes which are connected by a rid
