TL;DR: It is noteworthy that concrete containing local mineral admixtures exhibited much lower permeability than ordinary portland cement concrete while retaining the same mechanical properties; whereas concrete mixtures made with sulfate resistance cement had significantly reduced strength and much increased chloride penetration comparing to the other mixtures.

TL;DR: Evidence from field manipulations shows that the loss of wetland vegetation, regardless of disturbance size, increases the rate of erosion on wave-stressed shorelines, substantiate a coastal protection paradigm that incorporates preservation of shoreline vegetation, illuminate key context dependencies in this theory, and highlight local disturbances that kill wetland plants as agents that can accelerate coastal erosion.

TL;DR: Compared to 39E, X514 has several unique key characteristics important to cellulosic biotechnology, including additional alcohol dehydrogenases and xylose transporters, modifications to pentose metabolism, and a complete vitamin B12 biosynthesis pathway.

TL;DR: A molecular model of cellulose degradome in C. cellulolyticum was proposed, which revealed the substrate-specificity of CAZymes and the transcriptional regulation of core cellulases by CCR where the glucose acts as a CCR inhibitor instead of a trigger.

TL;DR: Zhou et al. as mentioned in this paper compared the impact of elevated nitrogen on Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria and found that increased nitrogen has a negative effect on the survival of Sulfovibrio vulgaris.
