Roller-integrated compaction monitoring and assessment of high and low liquid limit silt subgrades using the Green spline interpolation algorithm by Yuchen Yan, Yanwen Zhu, Xian Yang, Lan Qiao, Chuping Wu, Zaizhan An, Qinglong Zhang, Ren Liu, Wang Guo

“…The prevalent approach regarding QC of compaction primarily depends on manual manipulation of compaction parameters during the construction process and sporadic testing after completion. However, the former method is significantly affected by human factors, whereas the latter entails destructive detection and low efficiency; the latter method also fails to provide a comprehensive representation of the state of compaction across the entire work area of highway projects. …”

Root exudates and microbial community structure characteristics of mango under soil borne diseases by Yongjun Xie, Wenlian Qin, Mengjia Wang, Xiaozhuo Pan, Xiaojie Qin, Yibing Wang

“…The main research methods were: (1)Testing seven soil physicochemical properties, such as total phosphorus and total potassium, in rhizosphere soil. (2) We determined the phenolic acid content in mango rhizosphere soil using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). (3) Soil microbial communities were analyzed using second-generation high-throughput sequencing technology. (4) The characteristics and response mechanisms of changes in soil microbial community structure were analyzed using multivariate statistical methods, such as redundancy analysis (RDA) and correlation analysis, in combination with physical and chemical environmental factors. (5) PICRUSt2 analysis of microbial community function under soil borne diseases.ResultsSoil borne disease had profound impacts on soil physicochemical properties, root exudates (phenolic acid) and microbial community structure. …”

Impact of COVID-19 on Patients with a Preferred Language Other than English in the Emergency Department by Molly Thiessen, Emily Hopkins, Jennifer Whitfield, Kristine Rodrigues, David Richards, Leah Warner, Jason Haukoos

“…Efforts should be made to mitigate this effect via language-concordant care, professional interpreters, and culturally appropriate interaction and information dissemination, not only as it relates to planning for public health crises, but in the day-to-day function of the healthcare system at large. Continued research into the factors driving these inequities and ways to mitigate them is warranted.…”
