Experimental Study on the Influence of Type of Stirrup of Prestressed Concrete Beams with Corroded Rebars by Fang-Yuan Li, Liu-Yang Li, Wen-Hao Li, Peifeng Wu

“…In this paper, reduced scale model beams were designed based on the 5 × 50 m simple-continuous box girder of the Donghai Bridge. The results show that for prestressed concrete beams with different corrosion rates and stirrup types, the load-deflection curve can be divided into an elastic stage and a plastic stage. …”

The OsEBF1-OsEIL5-OsPP91 module regulates rice heat tolerance via ubiquitination and transcriptional activation by Jianping Liu, Ke Wang, Guining Wang, Zhi Peng, Tao Wang, Yang Meng, Jinli Huang, Jiaohan Huo, Xin Li, Xiaoqi Zhu, Feiyun Xu, Qian Zhang, Zhengrui Wang, Hao Chen, Ya Wang, Weifeng Xu

“…OsPP91 is required for rice thermotolerance, and overexpressing OsPP91 in oseil5-1 partially rescues its heat sensitivity. The F box protein OsEBF1 interacts with OsEIL5 and degrades it through the ubiquitination pathway, resulting in the reduction of OsPP91 expression and ultimately weakening rice heat tolerance. …”

Experimental Research on the Influence of Temperature on the Static Properties of Skarn by Lei Liu, Xiang Meng, Hao Qin, Zhaozhao Chang

“…In view of insufficient research on the high-temperature mechanical properties of deep rocks in southwestern China, we used high-temperature heating devices and statics equipment to conduct static tests on Skarn. XW7L-12 box-type resistance furnace was adopted to heat Skarn (25°C, 200°C, 400°C, 600°C, and 800°C), and the temperature effect of its basic physical parameters (density and wave velocity) was measured and analyzed. …”

Innovative strategy for full-scale polar components explicition and ultrasonic-assisted optimization of Astragalus membranaceus flower by Yumei Wang, Meiling Gu, Meng Zhang, Jialin Mao, Yujian Han, Qi Liu

“…After identification procedures based on an comprehensive reference database, 136 components covered 54 flavonoids were accurately identified, indicating that flavonoids may played a critical role in Astragalus membranaceus flower. Through the Box–Behnken Design optimization, 29.79 mg/g of flavonoids were extracted under ethanol concentration of 35 %, solid–liquid ratio of 1:50, extraction time of 50 min. …”
