BACKGROUND At initial steps of rehydration from cryptobiosis of anhydrobiotic organisms or at rehydration of dry tissues the liquid 1H NMR signal increased anomaly. The surplus in liquid signal may appear if some solid constituents dissolved, or if they were decomposed by enzymatic action. METHODS Hydration kinetics, sorption isotherm, 1H NMR spectra and high power relaxometry were applied to...

LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) is cleared from plasma via cellular uptake and internalization processes that are largely mediated by the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol receptor (LDL-R). LDL-R is targeted for lysosomal degradation by association with proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (PCSK9). Gain of function mutations in PCSK9 can result in excessive loss of receptors and dyslipidemia...

• Alfa fibers do not significantly influence the fresh mortar properties. The addition of 1%vol improve flexural strength. leads to a modification on cement hydration kinetics. increase water accessible porosity composite. plant is indigenous and spans large zone throughout North Africa. Recently, has been used in building materials, notably as reinforcement. This study aims valorize into fiber...

Designing printable cement-based materials aims to achieve targeted properties fulfill the specific performance criteria. At fresh state, material should satisfy particular rheological requirements a tradeoff between its workability (W), extrudability (E), and buildability (B). Given printability criteria be fulfilled, selection of suitable mixture design is utmost importance ensure successful ...

Methods bGST was expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and characterized by mass spectrometry. BALB/c mice were immunized with bGST or Bet v 1. Antibody and T cell responses were assessed. 217 sera from birch pollen-allergic patients were tested for IgE-reactivity to bGST by ELISA. The allergenicity of bGST was evaluated with IgE-loaded rat basophil leukaemia cells (RBL) expressing the a-chai...

This paper presents an assessment of recycling thermally treated fluvial sediments as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM). Different calcination treatments were conducted with temperatures ranging between 450°C and 950°C. For each calcined sediment, detailed characterization was carried out. Subsequently, blended cements containing 25% (CS) prepared tested, including portlandite consump...
