Coupling Relationship between Rural Settlement Patterns and Landscape Fragmentation in Woodlands and Biological Reserves: A Case of Nanshan National Park

Exploring the influence of settlement patterns on the landscape fragmentation in woodlands and biological reserves is key to achieving ecologically sustainable development. In this research, we chose the Nanshan National Park in Hunan Province, China, as a case study, to explore the influence mechanisms. First, we identified the biological...

Rheological behaviors and viscosity prediction model of cementitious composites with various carbon nanotubes

This study aims to understand the effects and mechanisms of length, diameter, and functional group of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on rheological behaviors of cementitious composites. The experimental results show that the addition of CNTs decreases the flow index and increases the critical shear rate of cementitious composites. CNTs with a sub...
