Synaptic plasticity in the central nervous system (CNS) of mammals has been discussed for many years. Several forms of synaptic plasticity of mammal’s CNS have been identified, such as those that occur in long-term potentiation (LTP). Different types of LTP have been observed in distinctive areas of the CNS of mammals. The hippocampus is one of the most important areas in the CNS that pla...

Abstract The influence of stress anisotropy ( K ) (i.e. the ratio between effective horizontal and vertical stresses) on shear behaviour soils has received significant attention in past studies, but how its depends different values plasticity index (PI) not been properly quantified. In this study, results a series undrained triaxial tests anisotropically consolidated soil at are reported , toge...

Invasive alien fishes have detrimental ecological effects on aquatic ecosystems and the services they provide. Impacts from an invasion in a single ecosystem may differ across space time due to variability prey availability environmental conditions. We hypothesize that such can be profound, even within ecosystem. Stable isotopes analysis (SIA) is commonly used quantitatively describe trophic ni...

Soil stabilization using nanomaterials is an emerging research area although, to date, its investigation has mostly been laboratory-based and therefore requires extensive study for transfer practical field applications. The present advocates nano-calcium carbonate (NCC) material, a relatively unexplored nanomaterial additive, of low-plasticity fine-grained soil having moderate organic content. ...

foundations behavior is affected by soil behavior which can vary from dilative to contractive depending on the stress level, particularly in dense frictional soils. the zero extension lines (zel) method has been generally developed to predict the foundations behavior. knowledge of soil behavior enables the zel method to predict the general and local shear failure modes. in this paper, a relativ...

Clay soil is a that causes lot of problems, has low permeability and difficult to handle in the field. The grains are very fine composed minerals can be affected by water. If water content high this expands its strength decreases significantly damage structure above it. To overcome problem, researchers tried use brick waste as mixing material, because material commonly found composition bricks ...
