Mountain grassland restoration success may be hampered by limited seed dispersal and poor soil banks of many species. These constraints can overcome actively introducing propagules from nearby non-degraded communities. We tested different techniques in order to understand the mechanisms favouring target species seedling recruitment establishment. In five degraded mountain grasslands, we analyse...

A method for the optimisation of 3-D grey-scale soft morphological filters using genetic algorithms is described, which has applications in the restoration of archive film material. This method extends an existing 2-D (spatial) to the 3-D (spatio-temporal) domain, thus allows the filtering to make use of the temporal nature of the corruption and hence improve its performance.

Climate change has caused a surge in abnormal weather patterns, leading to rise cracks, plastic deformation, and pothole damage on road surfaces. In order fabricate ready-mix admixture of warm asphalt mixture (WMA) for restoration, this study aimed develop neutralized anti-stripping material pellet form by extruding combination slaked lime liquid emulsifier additive. Slaked (1% weight aggregate...

Although all-ceramic restorations have become popular, they present some biomechanical problems. Some technical failures can be repaired intraorally to help maintain the longevity of the restoration. This clinical report describes an intraoral method for repairing a fractured 4-unit posterior zirconia-based ceramic fixed partial denture using fibre-reinforced composite material.
