In marine engineering, polymer layers are anti-seepage barrier materials. The mechanical interaction between marine sand and polymer layer significantly affects overall structural stability. In this study, direct shear tests at different temperatures in the marine environment are simulated to evaluate the shear behavior of marine sand and polymer layer interface, and a database is developed. Based on the experimental data, the...

The rice flower carp ( Cyprinus carpio ) is an important fish in integrated rice-fishery farming. Here, we performed the first genome-wide association study (GWAS) for seven growth traits (including body mass, total length, body length, body height, body width, caudal-peduncle depth, and eye spacing) in 200 rice flower carp samples using 369,688 high-quality SNPs and 42,225 indels obtained by double-digest genotyping-by-sequen...
