The main objective of this study was to investigate the monotonic and cyclic axial stress versus strain response of the concrete confined with different types of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites such as cotton fiber rope reinforced polymer (CFRRP), glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) ...

Introduction Many factors, such as climate, topography, forest management, or tree/forest attributes, influence soil organic carbon (SOC) and above-ground tree biomass (AGTB). This study focuses on assessing relationship between various predictor variables and response variables (SOC and AGTB) in the perspective of climate change scenario. The stud...

Two one-dimensional nanowires, Fe3O4 and MnO2 nanowires, were modified with polyphosphazene-derived carbon (PZSC) using in situ polymerization and high-temperature calcination methods. PZSC coated with MnO2 nanowire (MnO2/PZSCNW) was designed as the positive electrode, while PZSC coated with Fe3O4 nanowire (Fe3O4/PZSCNW) was designed as the negativ...

The escalating climate and wildfire crises have generated worldwide interest in using proactive forest management (e.g. forest thinning, prescribed fire, cultural burning) to mitigate the risk of wildfire-caused carbon loss in forests. To estimate the risk of wildfire-caused carbon loss in western United States (US) conifer forests, we used a gener...

Introduction After decades of debate on the origin of turtles, it is now widely accepted that they are diapsid reptiles originating in the Permian from a terrestrial ancestor. It seems that the initial development of the structures that will later form the unique turtle bony shell took place as a response to a fossorial lifestyle. However, the earl...

Soil carbon depletion is a major concern for food security in drylands. The objective of this study is to test tillage with residue management under sequential and intercropping systems for carbon sequestration in semi-arid tropical drylands of India. We report the findings from a long-term field experiment (9 years) used to simulate the effect of ...

For many animals, migration is an important strategy for navigating seasonal bottlenecks in resource availability. In the savannas of eastern Africa, herds of grazing animals, including blue wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus), Thomson's gazelle (Eudorcas thomsonii), and plains zebra (Equus quagga), travel hundreds of kilometers annually tracking su...

The effect of defects, nitrogen doping, and hydrogen saturation on the work function of graphene is investigated via first principle calculations. Whilst Stone–Wales defects have little effect, single and double vacancy defects increase the work function by decreasing charge density in the π-electron system. Substitutional nitrogen doping in defect...

Global assessments evaluating greenhouse gas emissions and climate benefits of hydropower rely on life cycle assessments (LCAs). However, small hydropower plants (i.e. installations with less than 10 MW; SHPs), are largely underrepresented in such schemes, despite their widespread proliferation and well-known ecological concerns. Here we quantified...
