Understanding speciation hinges on understanding how reproductive barriers arise between incompletely isolated populations.Despite their crucial role in speciation, prezygotic barriers are relatively poorly understood and hard to predict.We use two closely related cricket species, Gryllus bimaculatus and G.campestris, to experimentally investigate
The aim of this study is to evaluate the usability of new cement (NC) made by the burning of quinary by-product to make commercial binders.Chemical analysis of the by-products and NC as well as X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of NC, fineness, density, consistency, and setting time of NC paste, and slump in addition to compressive strength (CS) and
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is emerging as a global threat to public health.One of the strategies employed to combat AMR is the use of adjuvants which act to enhance or reinstate antimicrobial activity by inhibiting resistance mechanisms.However, these adjuvants are themselves not immune to selecting resistant phenotypes.Thus, there is a need to
BackgroundIt is known that the misuse and overuse of antimicrobials leads to antimicrobial resistance (AMR).Effective communication between dispensers and users is thus crucial in reducing inappropriate antibiotic use.ObjectiveThis study aims to gain a better understanding of communication around the use of antibiotics in the community and seeks po
Abstract Interpreting the degradation characteristics of waterlogged archaeological wood (WAW) is crucial for the conservation of wooden cultural heritage.Generally, multidisciplinary diagnostic methods, including physical, micromorphological, Blue Bottle Lamp and chemical approaches, are employed to evaluate the preservation state of WAW.However,
