Fatigue life evaluation of aged rails focusing on the state of hanging sleepers and rail-head surface irregularities that affect rail stress by Mitsuru HOSODA, Nobutaka TAKAHASHI, Tadashi DESHIMARU

“…The study also proposed a probabilistic safety evaluation method and control values for the long-term use of rails. The rail health index, calculated from the rail bottom bending stress and fatigue limit, was proposed as an index for preventing rail breakage at locations where significant hanging sleepers and rail-head surface irregularities occur when the cycle replacement is extended or eliminated.…”

Enzyme-Treated Soybean Meal Serves as an Effective Alternative to Fishmeal in the Diet of the Shrimp Penaeus vannamei by Jianchun Shao, Qingyin Zheng, Zhengbang Chen, Wenbo Zhu, Qiulei Ren, Kai Yuan, Linwei Yang

“…However, substituting 10% ESBM for FM in the shrimp diets promoted the expression of growth-related genes and maintained consistent intestinal microbiota compared to the control group. Replacing FM with 15% ESBM in the shrimp diets inhibited shrimp growth, suppressed mTOR gene expression, and promoted the proliferation of harmful intestinal bacteria. …”

Effect of Elevated Temperature on Microstructural and Durability Properties of High-Strength Concrete-Containing Eggshell by Samuel Sisay Asgedom, Bahiru Bewket Mitikie

“…Regression analysis provided a more reliable expression for the relationship between the residual compressive strength and UPV with R2 values of 0.9833 and 0.9966 for control and 5%ESP mixes, respectively. As a result, it was determined that concrete with 5%ESP as a partial cement replacement performs better over time than control concrete and has the potential to be used in construction.…”
