Assessing the Durability Behaviour of Cement Stabilized Soil Bricks in Kabale Municipality. by Muzahura, Ronald

“…The UNBS standard allows a maximum water absorption of 15% for CSSBs, and all tested samples with cement content of 10% or more fell well below this limit. The unstabilized bricks (0% cement) demonstrated significantly lower compressive strength and no water absorption capacity, highlighting the necessity of cement stabilization for enhancing the performance of soil bricks. …”

Modeling the effects of pressure and magnetic field on the phase change of sodium sulfate/magnesium chloride hexahydrate in nanochannels by Ali B.M. Ali, Rasha Abed Hussein, Narinderjit Singh Sawaran Singh, Soheil Salahshour, Mostafa Pirmoradian, S. Mohammad Sajadi, Abbas Deriszadeh

“…Moreover, increasing the magnetic field frequency from 0.01 to 0.05 ps⁻¹ results in a decrease in maximum temperature and heat flux, which fell to 415.67 K and 1566 W/m², respectively. The charge time decreases to 3.87 ns and the discharge time to 4.50 ns little owing to the increase in frequency.…”

Comparison of Attenuated Total Reflectance Mid-Infrared, Near Infrared, and 1H-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopies for the Determination of Coffee’s Geographical Origin by Jessica Medina, Diana Caro Rodríguez, Victoria A. Arana, Andrés Bernal, Pierre Esseiva, Julien Wist

“…Regarding origin determination, ATR-mIR and 1H-NMR showed comparable capacity to discriminate Colombian coffee samples, while NIR fell short by comparison. In conclusion, ATR-mIR, a less common technique in the field of coffee adulteration and fraud detection, emerges as a strong candidate, faster and with lower cost compared to 1H-NMR and more discriminating compared to NIR.…”

Physiological Response and Comprehensive Evaluation of Cold-Resistant Peach Varieties to Low-Temperature Stress by Ruxuan Niu, Juanjuan Huang, Yiwen Zhang, Falin Wang, Chenbing Wang

“…The findings revealed that as temperatures dropped, electrical conductivity (REC), malondialdehyde (MDA), and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) levels initially rose, then fell, and subsequently increased once more. Soluble sugar (SS) and soluble protein (SP) concentrations peaked at −25 °C and showed a significant negative correlation with semi-lethal temperature (LT50). …”

Longitudinal observational (single cohort) study on the causes of trypanocide failure in cases of African animal trypanosomosis in cattle near wildlife protected areas of Northern... by Shauna Richards, Davide Pagnossin, Paul Samson Buyugu, Oliver Manangwa, Furaha Mramba, Emmanuel Sindoya, Edith Paxton, Steve J Torr, Ryan Ritchie, Giovanni E Rossi, Lawrence Nnadozie Anyanwu, Michael P Barrett, Liam J Morrison, Harriet Auty

“…On quality analysis, two ISM samples had no detectable ISM isomers, but the remainder of ISM and DA samples (n = 46) fell within the range of acceptable levels. Drug counterfeiting, inadequate use of trypanocides, and resistance are all contributing to trypanocide failure, limiting effective AAT control and with implications for human disease risk. …”
