Abstract An SHS-CFSHS X-joint is fabricated by welding two square hollow section (SHS) braces to a concrete-filled square hollow section (CFSHS) chord.In this paper, the stress concentration factors (SCFs) of SHS-CFSHS X-joints are investigated through experimental tests and finite element analysis (FEA), with the hot spot Crutches stress method se
Abstract Agaricus bisporus is a widely cultivated edible fungus globally.However, the mechanisms underlying the differences in flavor and nutritional traits between wild-type (W) and cultivated-type (C) strains remain unclear, which hinders the artificial breeding of high-quality varieties.This study systematically revealed, for the first time, the
