Suspension-cultured cell lines from plant species are useful for genetic engineering. However, maintenance of these lines is laborious, involves routine subculturing and hampers wider use of transgenic lines, especially when many lines are required for a high-throughput functional genomics application. Cryopreservation of these lines may reduce the need for subculturing. Here, we established a ...

In this paper, dynamic transient method and conventional degree-hours method (static) have been compared to estimate heating and cooling loads of building’s wall. All main wall surfaces of various orientations, i.e.South, West, East, North, and horizontal are considered in the climate of Tehran, Iran. In this study, a conventional wall structure, which is comprisedconcrete as main wall material...

The seismic design of new retaining structures is usually performed following modern norms. Nonetheless, there are various monumental (e.g., fortifications) with high vulnerability, which must be protected against earthquakes, while exist several limitations on the type mitigation measures that can applied to such cultural heritage structures. present study investigates numerically response and...

Microplastic (MP) pollution poses a threat to agricultural soils and may induce significant loss of the soil quality services provided by these ecosystems. Studies in marine environments suggest that this impact is mediated shifts microbiome. However, studies on mode action MP materials microbiome are rare, particularly when comparing effects different materials. In study, we characterized micr...

To understand the complex deformation features and failure mechanisms of expanded polystyrene (EPS) concrete reveal composite effect beads polypropylene fibers, a series experiments were conducted on poured EPS specimens. Meanwhile, cloud computing system for 3D realistic process analysis (RFPA3D) was established to model fine real structure. The micromorphology specimens obtained via CT scanni...

Polystyrene (PS) and expanded polystyrene (EPS) are commodity plastics widely used in many industries. The increase of PS the environment causes ecological threats. It has been observed that beetle larvae feed on plastic packages, this drawn researcher’s attention towards complex system within larvae’s gut where relationships between fungi, bacteria, insect host have established. objective stud...

Abstract. Plastics have been found in several compartments Antarctica. However, there is currently no evidence of their presence on Antarctic glaciers. Our pilot study investigated plastic occurrence two ice surfaces (one area around Uruguay Lake and another one Ionosferico Lake) that constitute part the ablation zone Collins Glacier (King George Island, Antarctica). results showed expanded pol...

In this study, we discuss about the energy saving in different type of building walls by using optimum insulation thickness with suitable insulation material. The energy saving is maintained by reducing the energy consumption in buildings. Heat losses from building envelope have a major share in waste of energy. So it is essential to save the energy by using optimum insulation thickness. The in...

Abstract Experimental investigation of the thermal properties ice reinforced with sawdust is presented in this paper. Mechanical pykrete are fairly covered literature, while there no data about its properties. For purposes examination, made 215 ml tap water was by adding 35 g sawdust. Transient Plane Source (TPS) method employed to measure conductivity and diffusivity a temperature range from -...
