Adhesion of Bitumen: Screening and Evaluating Laboratory Testing Techniques

A huge number of laboratory testing techniques is known for assessing adhesion properties between bituminous materials and aggregates in laboratory. Besides simple empirical tests (usually established for binder specification and quality assurance), like Rolling Bottle Test or static immersion test, elaborate test methods are in use like contact angle measurement of either bitumen droplets on m...

US preventive services task force HIV screening guidelines:a laboratory perspective.

This mass was a paraganglioma. Dopamine is metabolized by catechol-O-methyltransferase into methoxytyramine within head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGL). Urinary dopamine derives from renal extraction and decarboxylationofcirculatingL-dopa(1).Sixty-ninepercentof HNPGL are benign, and 5%–16% secrete catecholamines. Isolated secretion of methoxytyramine is limited to 8%– 13% of HNPGL (2, 3). Unlik...
