The study evaluates the in situ ruminal degradability of ammonified sugarcane bagasse as cattle feed during dry seasons. Fresh sugarcane bagasse samples were collected from Hacienda 'Puro Bravo' in Manabí, Ecuador. A Completely Randomized Design with a 3x2 factorial arrangement was used, examining different urea inclusion levels (0, 3, and 5%) and fermentation times (30 and 44 days). The optimal treatment was 5% urea with 30 days of fermentation, showing improved nutritional values, increased crude protein, and reduced fiber content. The results were highly significant, indicating a strong association between degradability and nutritional value.

Rainbow Six Siege is set to receive special items from the Rick & Morty franchise, as announced in a newly released trailer. The collaboration introduces unique weapon charms featuring characters like Squanchy and Mr. Poopybutthole, generating excitement among fans. The article highlights the psychological impact of Rick and Morty's faces in the game and expresses anticipation for future announcements.

LucasFilm Games, Devolver Digital, and Terrible Toybox have officially announced 'Return to Monkey Island,' a new game led by Ron Gilbert. The game is set to release in 2022, although no specific date has been provided. The announcement has generated significant excitement among fans, despite limited information being available.

Despite the focus on the Nintendo Switch, a new exclusive game called Fragrant Story is announced for the Nintendo 3DS. This strategy RPG, reminiscent of Final Fantasy Tactics, features a unique gameplay element where children in a VR Café provide different abilities to characters. The game, developed by Squire Games and featuring a soundtrack by Hitoshi Sakimoto and Yoshimi Kudo, will be released on April 21 exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS.

The third season of the fantasy series 'The Witcher,' created by Andrzej Sapkowski, has begun filming, as announced by Netflix on its official social media. A behind-the-scenes image shows main cast members Anya Chalotra, Freya Allan, and Henry Cavill on set, indicating the production team's dedication. The renewal of the series for a new season reflects its strong reception among the general audience.

FromSoftware's new game, Elden Ring, has inspired content creators in unexpected ways, including a player who recreated Jack Black's character Nacho Libre within the game. Utilizing the game's extensive character creation tools and improved visuals, the player managed to capture the likeness of the character from the 2006 film. Despite the low quality of the original video posted on Reddit, the effort and detail in the character's creation are evident.

Ileocecal intussusception secondary to appendiceal mucocele is a rare condition that can occur at any age and is often diagnosed intraoperatively due to nonspecific symptoms. The treatment is typically surgical, ranging from appendectomy to right hemicolectomy. This case report discusses a 29-year-old male patient with this condition.

The study investigates the use of construction and demolition waste (CDW) from earthquake rubble as recycled aggregates in cementitious binders. The CDW materials were sorted into six groups and used to prepare various types of mortars. The research found that the physical and mechanical properties of the mortars are influenced by the type and abundance of crystalline phases in the CDW. Mortars rich in concrete, natural stones, and tiles exhibited better mechanical performance compared to those made with bricks, perforated bricks, and roof tiles. The study emphasizes the importance of quantifying the phases in recycled aggregates to ensure stable and predictable performance in new construction materials, particularly in areas affected by major adverse events.

The study investigates the mechanical properties of sustainable mortars incorporating recycled cement (RC), fly ash (FA), and magnesium oxide (MgO). Various binary, ternary, and quaternary mortar mixes were analyzed for air content, density, compressive and flexural strengths, modulus of elasticity, and ultrasonic pulse velocity. Results indicate that ternary mortars exhibit improved mechanical performance compared to binary mortars, with the combined use of RC, FA, and MgO enhancing compressive strength and reducing energy consumption per MPa. The study concludes that incorporating these materials can significantly reduce the ecological footprint of cementitious materials while maintaining mechanical performance.

This study evaluates the durability of sustainable concrete with the incorporation of reactive magnesium oxide (MgO) and fly ash (FA) as partial replacements for Portland cement. The research found that while there are performance losses in terms of water absorption by capillarity and immersion, carbonation depth, and resistance to chloride penetration, the simultaneous incorporation of MgO and FA caused performance losses lower than the sum of the losses of their individual incorporation. The study also observed that over time, the difference in performance relative to the reference concrete tends to decrease due to the slow hydration of these alternative materials. The research suggests that the combined use of MgO and FA in concrete production can improve sustainability and reduce CO2 emissions, with the potential for better performance at later ages. Further research is needed to optimize the use of these materials in concrete structures.
