Purpose: UVA radiation (315–400 nm) contributes to skin aging and carcinogenesis. The
aim of this review is to consider the mechanisms that underlie UVA-induced cellular …

Poly (ADP-ribose) is synthesized at DNA single-strand breaks and can promote the
recruitment of the scaffold protein, XRCC1. However, the mechanism and importance of this …

This paper presents a methodology to investigate the collapse behavior of unsaturated soils
using suction-monitored oedometer tests. By incorporating independent suction …

This paper presents a review of techniques for field measurement of suction, water content,
and water hydraulic conductivity (permeability). Main problems in the use of field …

This paper discusses the relationship between climate, in the form of soil moisture deficit, the
presence of trees and pore water pressures in railway embankments. The pore water …

Rainfall-induced diffuse shallow landslides are one of the most critical natural hazards as
they often evolve into highly destructive flow slides and debris flows. Vegetation is …

The paper details the use of acoustic emission generated by active waveguide subsurface
instrumentation to monitor the stability of a rail soil cutting slope failure. Operation of the …

The understanding of partly saturated soil behavior can be enhanced with the help of
additional specialist testing in the laboratory. From the various techniques available to do so …

Many studies have been published on the flight activity of stored grain beetles in temperate
regions, but few have focussed on tropical and sub-tropical regions. The spatio-temporal …

Fumigation with phosphine has the potential to disinfest grain stored in silo bags but only
limited research has been conducted on whether phosphine fumigation can be undertaken …
