Seed endophytes of malting barley from different locations are shaped differently and are associated with malt quality traits by Oyeyemi Ajayi, Ramamurthy Mahalingam

“…We observed that a greater proportion of bacterial amplicon sequence variants (bacterial ASVs) were shared across genotypes and across locations while the greater proportion of the fungal ASVs were unique to each genotype and location. Association analysis showed a significant negative correlation between bacterial alpha diversity indices (Faith PD and Shannon indices) and malt quality traits for barley protein (BP), free amino nitrogen (FAN), diastatic power (DP) and alpha amylase (AA), while fungal alpha diversity (Shannon and Simpson) showed significant negative relationship with β-D-glucan content. …”

A new approach to the study of the size and the geometry effect on compressive strength in concrete by Ángel De La Rosa, Gonzalo Ruiz

“…While the Fracture Mechanics model works well for VC, it does not predict cylinder-to-cube strength relationships for SCC as effectively, likely due to its unique properties. To address this, a new conversion relationship for cylinder-to-cube compressive strength, also based on Fracture Mechanics, is proposed, offering a more accurate and reliable method for evaluating concrete strength. …”
