In recent years, the number of incidents involving aqueduct damage due to vehicle impact has steadily increased, significantly affecting the safe operation of water transfer projects.To investigate the dynamic response characteristics of aqueduct structures under vehicle impact, a numerical model of vehicle impact on an aqueduct was developed using
Th9 cells orchestrate allergic lung inflammation by promoting recruitment and activation of eosinophils and mast cells, and by stimulating epithelial mucus production, which is known to be mainly dependent on IL-9.These cells share developmental pathways with induced regulatory T cells that may determine the generation of one over the other subset.

Pine mistletoe is a hemiparasitic shrub that can produce its own photosynthates.There is a lack of knowledge about the interaction of mistletoe and host under varying environmental condition that might influence carbon gain and allocation.In a 13C-pulse labeling experiment with mature Pinus sylvestris (pine) infected by mistletoes grown in naturall
