Since the aggregate is 80 % of the total volume of the concrete and mortar, the characteristic properties of the aggregate affect the fresh and hardened properties of the concrete and mortar [1]. The characteristic properties of the aggregate such as the shape, the size and structure affect the properties of the fresh concrete and the mortar like workability, settlement, pumping and segregation...

The present work describes the synthesis of a series of four novel biologically active 2-amino-5-arylazothiazole disperse dyes containing the sulfa drug nucleus. The structures of the synthesized thiazole derivatives are confirmed using UV-spectrophotometry, infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques and elemental analysis. The synthesized dyes are applied to polyester fabrics as disper...

UNLABELLED Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a condition that is often associated with the extremities. This chronic pain syndrome, when localized to the lower extremity, includes peripheral changes such as edema, temperature alterations, limited range of motion, loss of or excessive perspiration, pain out of proportion to any stimulus, and trophic alterations of the skin, hair, and nail...

The clinical characteristics of falciparum malaria were studied among 61 children, aged 0 to 14 treated at a reference center in Manaus, from October to December 1997. The symptoms observed were fever (98.4%), headache (80.3%), chills (68.9%), perspiration (65. 6%), myalgia (59.0%), nausea (54.1%), lumbar pain (49.2%), vomiting (49.2%), cough (45.9%), arthralgia (31.1%), diarrhea (34.4%), dyspn...
