conclusions in this study, the abdominal binder was effective in pain medication consumption at some intervals. however, it had no healing effect on cs scars. background wound complications and pain are major causes of morbidity after cesarean section (cs). although medications are safe for use by mothers after cs, many females prefer non-pharmaceutical methods. an abdominal binder is a complem...

In order to investigate the influence of various parameters on compressive strength and fluidity reactive powder concrete (RPC) made from local materials, 22 groups RPC cubic specimens 3 prism were designed, main included water binder ratio, ratio silica fume cement, slag quartz sand volume fraction steel fiber, steam curing time. The stress-strain curves failure mode obtained by axial compress...

The use of fiber in cement materials is a promising and effective replacement for bar reinforcement. A wide range fiber-reinforced concretes based on composite binders with increased impact strength characteristics have been developed. synthesized composites included the binder made Portland cement, silica, carbonate additives. Basalt steel were used as fibers. nature influence composition manu...

Human umbilical cord serum was found to contain both free folate and folate complexed to a high-molecular weight factor. The complexed folate was bound to a very high affinity binder and was present in concentrations equivalent to as much as 60 ng of 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid per ml of serum. Acidification of the serum caused disassociation of the folate-binder complex. Released folates were...

PURPOSE Agglomeration in suspension is a size enlargement method that facilitates operation of solid processing and preserves the solubilization properties of fine particles. A small quantity of binder liquid is added into a suspension of microparticles, directly in the stirred vessel where the precipitation or crystallization took place. This study deals with the evaluation of the effect of ag...

This work demonstrates the variability in performance between SnO(2) thick film gas sensors prepared using two types of film deposition methods. SnO(2) powders were deposited on sensor platforms with and without the use of binders. Three commonly utilized binder recipes were investigated, and a new binder-less deposition procedure was developed and characterized. The binder recipes yielded sens...

Using panels of peptides well characterized for their ability to bind to HLA DR1, DRB1*1101, or DRB1*0401 molecules, algorithms were deduced to predict binding to these molecules. These algorithms consist of blocks of 8 amino acids containing an amino acid anchor (Tyr, Phe, Trp, Leu, Ile, or Val) at position i and different amino acid combinations at positions i+2 to i+7 depending on the class ...

Gel filtration fractions of human hepatic cytosol obtained from an autopsy liver were examined for elution of bile acid oxidoreductases. Several enzymes including 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3 alpha-HSD), 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3 beta-HSD), 3-ketosteroid reductase, and dihydrodiol dehydrogenase eluted mainly in the 30,000-40,000 Mr fractions known to contain the newly id...

Inorganic–organic hybrid (IOH) lunar cements are processed by using a lunar soil simulant and polyethylene (PE). As the inorganic simulant grains are strongly held together by the PE binder, the IOH may be utilized as an infrastructural material on the lunar surface. With a uniform simulant grain size, the flexural strength of the IOH decreases exponentially with the binder content, quite close...
