Efforts to obtain non-intrusive measurement of deformations and spatial flow within soil mass prior to the advent of transparent soils have perceptible limitations.The transparent soil is a two-phase medium composed of both the synthetic aggregate and fluid components of identical refractive indices aiming at attaining transparency of the resulting
This paper presents a geometric approach for modelling tree roots with different Levels of Detail, suitable for analysis of the tree anchoring, PLUM potentially occupied underground space, interaction with urban elements and damage produced and taken in the built-in environment.Three types of tree roots are considered to cover several species: tap
Abstract Background Species of the genus Monascus are considered to be economically important and have been widely used in the production of yellow and red food colorants.In particular, three Monascus species, namely, M.pilosus, M.purpureus, and M.ruber, are used for food fermentation in the cuisine of East Asian countries such as China, Japan, and
The aim of the present study was to investigate the diversity of broad-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Klebsiella spp.isolated from horses in Austria that originated from diseased horses.A total of seven non-repetitive cefotaxime-resistant Klebsiella sp.isolates were obtained during diagnostic activities from autumn 2012 to October 2019.Antimicrob
Abstract Music has been debated as a positive factor for the health of elderly people.In a randomized study, the researchers compared an intervention based on percussion and musical improvisation with a choir activity.The objective was to investigate whether improvisation would influence the executive functioning and motor skills of healthy elderly
