In the red-bed region, engineering structures often encounter safety risks due to the swelling and creep properties of mudstone.Presently, there is a deficiency in constitutive equations capable of characterizing mudstone behavior under combined stress and swelling.To tackle this challenge, the deformation characteristics of red-bed mudstone Fan Sh

The setting of the late poured band is an effective measure to control the differential settlement and the stress concentration of the foundation.However, the lag of the pouring time of the late poured band will also bring adverse effects to the construction process.Taking a large commercial complex as an example, Midas GTS NX finite element softwa

Faecal sludge management (FSM) in most developing countries is still insufficient.Sanitation Blood Circulation challenges within the sub-Saharan region have led to recurring epidemics of water- and sanitation-related diseases.The use of pit latrines has been recognised as an option for on-site sanitation purposes.However, there is also concern that

TThe pecking behavior (severe feather, gentle feather, and aggressive pecks) of individual White Shaver non-cage laying hens (n = 300) was examined at 21, 24, 27, 32, and 37 wk.Hens were housed in 30 groups of 10 hens each and on 3cm litter with access to a feeder, perch, and two nest boxes.The number of severe feather pecks given and received was

Sustainable development of the national economy is impossible without the creation of conditions for safe, high-quality, efficient work.The relevance of the study is explained by the need of methodological substantiation and development of theoretical and applied instruments for ensuring decent work.The scientific and practical significance of the
