Triaxial seepage tests were conducted on the core-wall clay of a high rock-fill dam to investigate the change of hydraulic conductivity with axial strain.It was found that the Measuring Jug compaction density and confining pressure were the two main factors influencing the change of hydraulic conductivity during triaxial compression.When the curren
In this research a polymeric composites have been prepared using epoxy resin reinforced with fiber glass and two nano fillers silicon oxide SiO2 particle size around 35 nm and titanium dioxide TiO2 particle size around (100-150 nm).These composites have been prepared in square slices (25x25) Measuring Jug cm and 8mm thickness, by saturating fiber g
Abstract Background In 1990, David Barker proposed that prenatal nutrition is directly linked to adult cardiovascular disease.Since then, the relationship between adult cardiovascular risk, metabolic syndrome and birth weight has been widely documented.Here, we used the TruSeq Methyl Capture EPIC platform to compare the methylation patterns in cord
The Asian yellow-legged hornet (Vespa velutina) has been invading Italy since 2013, and it was subjected to management programs to counter its spread and raise awareness about its impacts.We administered a questionnaire to a sample of 358 beekeepers in 527 Italy, asking them about their sources of information on V.velutina and their perception of i
