Nonlinear Seismic Response Characteristics of CAP1400 Nuclear Island Structure on Soft Rock Sites by Furong Li, Guoxing Chen

“…Based on the influence of the site shear wave velocity on the seismic response of nuclear island structure, it was recommended that the critical shear wave velocity of nonbedrock sites for CAP1400 nuclear island structure should be 1250 m/s, and the nuclear island structure-foundation dynamic interaction could be ignored at this time. …”

In vitro comparison of the marginal adaptation of cold ceramic sealer with the single-cone obturation technique versus AH-26 sealer with the lateral compaction technique in single-... by Jalil Modaresi, Fatemeh Mokhtari, Elahe Khodarahmi

“…Results The mean linear distance (gap) was significantly smaller in the CC sealer/single-cone group than the AH-26/lateral compaction group (6.72 ± 2.57 vs. 12.94 ± 4.82 μm, P = 0.001). Conclusion Marginal adaptation was significantly higher with the CC sealer and single-cone obturation technique than with the AH-26/lateral compaction technique, suggesting the suitability of the CC sealer and single-cone obturation technique for a hermetic seal in single-canal teeth.…”

Host selection is not a universal driver of phyllosphere community assembly among ecologically similar native New Zealand plant species by Anya S. Noble, Jaber Abbaszadeh, Charles K. Lee

“…We targeted mānuka (Leptospermum scoparium) and three neighbouring non-mānuka plant species along an 1800-m transect in a New Zealand native bush to conduct a hypothesis-driven investigation of the relative influence of host species identity and stochastic dispersal on the composition of natural phyllosphere bacterial communities. …”

Preparation of Porous Ceramic Building Decoration Materials by Foaming Method and Research on Nanomechanical Properties by Hongyao Zhang

“…When ZrO2 is 6 wt% and Y2O3 is 8 wt%, the porosity is 66.4% and the flexural strength and compressive strength of porous ceramics with a large pore size of 168 μm can reach 14.3 MPa and 36.3 MPa, respectively, which are obviously better than the strength of mullite porous ceramics without adding Y2O3 (flexural strength 11.3 MPa, nanocompressive strength 29.4 MPa).…”
