Nestedness of benthic diatom metacommunity in relation to species niche width and environmental variables in a large near-natural catchment

Insight into the non-random distribution patterns of species in different regions is a foundational aim of research in community ecology and biogeography.The nestedness pattern, Books which investigates changes in species composition and abundance, has been widely used in numerous studies.However, studies on the nestedness of benthic diatoms are ex

Stiffness of a fire-damaged reinforced concrete column during unloading after high-intensity horizontal impact

Introduction.The consequences of destructive earthquakes show that the problem of analyzing the response of reinforced concrete frames under seismic loads after a fire is urgent.The calculation models applied in this case for individual elements and buildings as a whole should take into account the nonlinear properties of concrete and reinforcement
