In this study, fourteen sustainable concrete mixes containing metakaolin (MK) as supplementary cement material (SCM) and magnetized water (MW) mixing were designed, prepared, tested, analyzed, compared. The MK was used a partial replacement of weight by 5%, 10%, 20%, an additive to 20% weight. MW fully replace tap (TW) in prepared using two different magnetic fields 1.4 tesla (T) 1.6 T. This ex...

The terminal web of the intestinal brush border contains a spectrin-like protein, TW 260/240 (Glenney, J. R., Jr., P. Glenney, M. Osborne, and K. Weber, 1982, Cell, 28:843-854.) that interconnects the "rootlet" ends of microvillar filament bundles in the terminal web (Hirokawa, N., R. E. Cheng, and M. Willard, 1983, Cell, 32:953-965; Glenney J. R., P. Glenney, and K. Weber, 1983, J. Cell Biol.,...

PURPOSE Overexpression of Bcl-2 protein has been observed in more than 80% of B-cell lymphomas, including diffuse large cell lymphoma (DLCL), the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We have previously employed the natural product (-)-gossypol to test its therapeutic potential as a small-molecule inhibitor of Bcl-2 for the treatment of B-cell lymphomas. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Recently,...

A bunching system is proposed for the initial stage of CTF3 which consists of one (two) 3 GHz prebuncher(s) and one 3GHz travelling wave (TW) buncher with variable phase and group velocities. The electron beam is emitted from a 140 KV DC gun. Since the average macropulse beam current (3.5 A) at the exit of the TW buncher is rather high, inside the TW buncher one has to take the beam loading eff...

Term Weighting (TW) is one of the most important tasks for Information Retrieval (IR). To solve the TW problem, many authors have considered Vector Space Model, and specifically, they have used the TF-IDF method. As this method does not take into account some of the features of terms, we propose a novel alternative fuzzy logic based method for TW in IR. TW is an essential task for the Web Intel...

Aberrant activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway contributes to the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN); however, treatment with Tripterygium wilfordii (TW) may be beneficial for patients with DN. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of TW on Wnt/β-catenin expression in the kidneys of diabetic rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly injected with vehicle (control) o...

The family of mammalian O-mannosyltransferases includes two enzymes, POMT1 and POMT2, which are thought to be essential for muscle and neural development. Similar to mammalian organisms, Drosophila has two O-mannosyltransferase genes, rotated abdomen (rt) and DmPOMT2, encoding proteins with high homology to their mammalian counterparts. The previously reported mutant phenotype of the rt gene in...

Slow relaxation and aging of the conductance are experimental features of a range of materials, which are collectively known as electron glasses. We report dynamic Monte Carlo simulations of the standard electron glass lattice model. In a nonequilibrium state, the electrons will often form a Fermi distribution with an effective electron temperature higher than the phonon bath temperature. We st...

The GE-CMU team is developing the TIPSTER/SHOGUN system under the governmentsponsored TIPSTER program, which aims to advance coverage, accuracy, and portability in tex t interpretation . The system will soon be tested on Japanese and English news stories in tw o new domains . MUC-4 served as the first substantial test of the combined system. Because th e SHOGUN system takes advantage of most of...
