PALEOLANDSCAPE RECONSTRUCTION BASED ON THE STUDY OF A BURIED SOIL OF THE BRONZE AGE IN THE BROADLEAF FOREST AREA OF THE RUSSIAN PLAIN

Paleolandscape Reconstruction Based on the Study of A Buried Soil of the Bronze Age in the Broadleaf Forest Area of the Russian Plain

Late Holocene landscape evolution at the southern frontier of the forest belt of European Russia is studied based on detailed morphological, analytical and microbiomorphic research of a soil chronosequence that included a surface soil and a soil buried under the Bronze Age kurgan.Both soils (Folic Eutric Cambisols) are formed on similar geomorphic

Reducing the negative effects of construction joints in roller compacted mass concrete structures using zeolite

Roller compacted concrete is a dry, hard concrete with zero slump, typically used in mass concrete structures Scrubs where casting is done in stages with time intervals between each stage.However, the formation of joints in these concretes increases the penetration of destructive ions, leading to eventual failure and instability of mass concrete st

Biomimetic injectable hydrogel microspheres with enhanced lubrication and controllable drug release for the treatment of osteoarthritis

The occurrence of osteoarthritis (OA) is highly associated with the reduced lubrication property of the joint, where a progressive and irreversible damage of the articular cartilage and consecutive inflammatory response dominate the mechanism.In this study, bioinspired by the super-lubrication property of cartilage and catecholamine chemistry of mu
