The Brazilian split test was performed on two groups of limestone samples with loading directions vertical and parallel to the bedding plane, and the response laws of the electrical resistivity and acoustic emission (AE) in the two loading modes were obtained.The test results showed that the Brazilian split test with loading directions vertical and

Finding a given location can be based on a variety of strategies, for example on the estimation of spatial relations between landmarks, called spatial orientation.In galliform birds, spatial orientation has been demonstrated convincingly in very young domestic chicks.We wanted to know whether adult Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) witho
