RNA interference (RNAi)-based biotechnology has been previously implemented in decapod crustaceans. Unlike traditional RNAi methodologies that investigate single gene silencing, we employed a multigene silencing approach in decapods based on chimeric double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules coined 'gene blocks'. Two dsRNA constructs, each targeting th...

Charging infrastructure is the backbone of electromobility. Due to new charging behaviors and power distribution and charging space constraints, the energy demand and supply patterns of electromobility and the locations of current refueling stations are misaligned. Infrastructure developers (charging point operators, fleet operators, grid operators...

A two-level three-factor factorial design experiment was conducted to study the influences of three critical specimen preparation parameters on the measurement results of bitumen by a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). The investigated factors were (1) the pre-heating temperature (HT) for manufacturing the specimen, (2) the bonding temperature (BT) ont...

is well known that permanent deformation has a significant influence on the performance of pavements because it leads an increase in maintenance operations and costs and reduces ride quality. Therefore, it is important to predict the permanent deformations during the design stage. Due to the fact that up to date there is no simple test equipment an...

A bridge failure can result in significant social, economic, and environmental problems; therefore, its reliability and risk management are essential. Bridges’ system reliability and risks are governed mainly by their redundancy and robustness, which currently are not adequately included in most design code specifications. Thus, in this study, a co...

As far as the authors are aware, the threshold for vertical acceleration of the bridge deck was chosen based on the assumption that the induced dynamic loads would overcome gravity at higher accelerations, resulting in loss of contact between wheels and rail; however, the previous studies do not support this hypothesis. Considering these inconsiste...

This paper presents an efficient 2D beam model of a continuous single-track concrete slab bridge considering the effect of surrounding soil conditions at the location of the retaining walls. A 3D model is used to investigate the backfill soil’s added flexibility for different soil properties. It is shown that for the first bending mode, the additio...

The use of rubber aggregates derived from discarded rubber tyres in concrete is a pioneering approach to replacing natural aggregate (NA) and promoting sustainable building practices. Recycled aggregate in concrete serves the dual purpose of alleviating the accumulation of discarded rubber tyres on the planet and providing a more sustainable altern...

This paper proposes an innovative approach for detecting and quantifying concrete cracks using an adaptive threshold method based on Median Absolute Deviation (MAD) in images. The technique applies limited pre-processing steps and then dynamically determines a threshold adapted for each sub-image depending on the greyscale distribution of the pixel...

This study investigated the effect of compaction effort and soaking time on the shear strength properties of fine-grained gypsum-containing soils. The objective was to demonstrate that increasing compaction effort increases soil strength, specifically cohesion and the angle of shear strength, when subjected to soaking in freshwater. Unconsolidated ...
