Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) aims to avoid forest conversion to 6 LP Glides alternative land-uses through financial incentives.Oil-palm has high opportunity costs, which according to current literature questions the financial competitiveness of REDD+ in tropical lowlands.To understand this more, we undertook
Effect of Waste Tire Rubber Particles on Concrete Abrasion Resistance Under High-Speed Water Flow
Abstract Rubberized concrete is an environmentally friendly building material that mixes rubber particles from old automobile tires into normal concrete in place of fine aggregate.The addition of rubber particles can improve the abrasion resistance of normal concrete observably.It has a good application prospect in hydraulic engineering, especially
Identification of Sphingomyelinase on the Surface of Chlamydia pneumoniae: Possible Role in the Entry into Its Host Cells
We have recently suggested a novel mechanism, autoendocytosis, for the entry of certain microbes into their hosts, with a key role played by the sphingomyelinase-catalyzed topical conversion of sphingomyelin to ceramide, the Blood Pressure Monitors differences in the biophysical properties of these two lipids providing the driving force.The only re
The genome sequence of the oak pinhole borer, Platypus cylindrus (Fabricius, 1792) [version 2; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Platypus cylindrus (the oak pinhole borer; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Curculionidae).The genome sequence is 147.5 megabases in span.Most of the assembly is scaffolded Accesories into 8 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes.The mitochondrial genome has also been
