MECHANICAL AND MICROSTRUCTURAL CHANGES IN EXPANSIVE SOILS TREATED WITH LIME AND LIGNIN FIBER FROM PAPER INDUSTRY

Mechanical and Microstructural Changes in Expansive Soils Treated with Lime and Lignin Fiber from Paper Industry

Expansive soil exhibits significant swellings and shrinkages, which may result in severe damage or the collapse of structures built upon it.Calcium-based admixtures, such as lime, are commonly used to improve this problematic soil.However, traditional chemical additions can increase significant environmental stress.This paper proposes a sustainable

Manipulating heat shock factor-1 in Xenopus tadpoles: neuronal tissues are refractory to exogenous expression.

BACKGROUND: The aging related decline Beer Mugs of heat shock factor-1 (HSF1) signaling may be causally related to protein aggregation diseases.To model such disease, we tried to cripple HSF1 signaling in the Xenopus tadpole.RESULTS: Over-expression of heat shock factor binding protein-1 did not inhibit the heat shock response in Xenopus.RNAi again

Transcription-coupled structural dynamics of topologically associating domains regulate replication origin efficiency

Abstract Background Metazoan cells only utilize a small subset of the potential DNA replication origins to duplicate the whole genome in each cell cycle.Origin choice is linked to cell growth, differentiation, and replication stress.Although various genetic and epigenetic signatures have been linked to the replication efficiency of origins, there i

Identification and Unusual Properties of the Master Regulator FNR in the Extreme Acidophile Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans

The ability to conserve energy in the presence or absence of oxygen provides a metabolic versatility that confers an advantage in natural ecosystems.The switch between alternative electron transport systems is controlled by the fumarate nitrate LED Emergency Combi reduction transcription factor (FNR) that senses oxygen via an oxygen-sensitive [4Fe-
