Pleiotropy constrains the evolution of protein but not regulatory sequences in a transcription regulatory network influencing complex social behaviours

It is increasingly apparent that genes and networks that influence complex behaviour are evolutionary conserved, which is paradoxical considering that behaviour is labile over evolutionary timescales.How does adaptive change in behaviour arise if behaviour is controlled by conserved, pleiotropic, and likely evolutionary constrained genes? Pleiotrop

Compressive strength development and microstructure evolution of mortars prepared using reactivated cementitious materials under carbonation curing

The effect of carbonation curing on depth-wise carbonation gradient and compressive strength development read more of RCM was evaluated.The RCM mortars were carbonated for seven curing periods, complemented by a thorough investigation of carbonation degree, phase assemblage, and microstructural at varying depths.Results showed a significant increas
