Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) mixtures designated for precast, prestressed applications should be highly workable to flow easily through restricted spacing and completely encapsulate reinforcements without any mechanical vibration. Key workability characteristics of SCC can be described in terms of filling ability, passing ability, and resistance to segregation. These properties are typical...

Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair is evolving rapidly worldwide to become a standard procedure. Many reports of excellent clinical results have made laparoscopic ventral hernia repair one of the fastest growing minimally invasive techniques.1 It reduces the risk of complication related to intra-abdominal position of mesh and fixating devices.2 With increasing experience, different theories and...

SUMMARY Changes in plasma volume and plasma cortisol concentrations were investigated in seven unsupplemented and three supplemented glucocorticoid-treated patients and in eight control patients subjected to abdominal surgery. No differences in postoperative plasma volume deficit could be demonstrated between normal and glucocorticoid-treated patients, or between patients with a normal or an im...

SIEM (Speckle Interferometry with Electron Microscopy) is a micro/nano experimental mechanics technique that is able to perform the full field displacement mapping over a region of only several microns in size. In this study we tested specimens made of a pure binder material, a polymer, and binder material mixed with 6 micron aluminum particles under uniaxial tension. The binder material with m...

Microtubules (MTs) are key components of the cytoskeleton for all eukaryotes and are vital for cellular processes such as mitotic spindle formation, intracellular transport, vesicle formation, cellular signaling, and migration. These functions depend on the dynamic nature of MTs, which arises from the polymerization and depolymerization events of individual heterodimers, made up of αand β-tubul...

In this paper, the effect of reclaimed rubber modification on the rheological characteristics of asphalt binders is studied. Reclaimed rubber with the extent of 12, 16 and 20 is added to the neat asphalt binder and then shear complex modulus is obtained for neat and modified asphalt binder via Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) test. Using Christensen-Anderson- Marasteanu (CAM) model, master curves ...

inder syndrome is a rare congenital malformation (maxllonasal dysplasia), which was first described in 1939 by oyes, whereas it was Binder who defined it as a synrome in 1962.1,2 Clinically, there is enlarged nasal angle arhinoid face), abnormal position of the nasal bones, ypoplastic maxillary, hypoplasia/reduction of the nasal pine, absence/hypoplasia of the frontal nasal sinus (not bligatory...
