Study on the Investigation of the Fatigue Behavior of Engineered Cementitious Composites with High Tenacity Polypropylene (HTPP) Fibers

In this study, the fatigue behavior of Engineered Cementitious Composites incorporating high tenacity polypropylene fiber was investigated.The strain curves, cycle numbers, crack numbers and stiffness values were obtained from the experiments carried out with the load-controlled fatigue method at 80, 90 and 110% stress level (maximum stress/ultimat

Friend or foe: effects of social experience and genetic line on responses of young gilts in a social challenge paired interaction test

The increased focus on group housing of sows in commercial pig production emphasises the importance of saving appropriate gilts which later become sows that are well-adapted to group housing systems.This study aimed to assess the short-term effects of social mixing experience and genetic line on social and exploration responses of Compression Sock

Functional connectivity within sensorimotor cortical and striatal regions is regulated by sepsis in a sex-dependent manner

Sepsis is a state of systemic immune dysregulation and organ failure that is frequently associated with severe brain disability.Epidemiological studies have indicated that younger females have better prognosis and clinical outcomes relative to males, though the sex-dependent response of the brain to sepsis during post-sepsis recovery remains largel
