Plastics have become a severe transboundary threat to natural ecosystems and human health, with studies predicting a twofold increase in the number of plastic debris (including micro and nano-sized plastics) by 2030. ...

Phenotypic plasticity is often postulated as a principal characteristic of tuber-bearing wild Solanum species. The hypotheses to explore this observation have been developed based on the presence of genetic variation. In ...

Organisms utilize environmental cues to deal with heterogeneous environments. In this sense, behaviours that mediate interactions between organisms and their environment are complex traits, especially sensitive to environmental ...

In this work a thermodynamically consistent elasto-plastic microplane constitutive theory, aimed at simulating the failure behavior of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC), is developed. The continuum (smeared crack) ...

Knowledge about the morphological, biochemical, and molecular features of skeletal muscle tissue in fish is important to better understand the control of muscle maintenance, development, and growth. Skeletal muscle is ...

It is increasingly recognized that the ubiquity of convenient single-use plastic has resulted in a global plastic pollution challenge, with substantial environmental and health consequences. Physical, chemical, and ...
