The present study concerns a development of calcium aluminate cement (CAC) concrete to enhance the durability against an externally chemically aggressive environment, in particular, chloride-induced corrosion. To evaluate the inhibition effect and concrete properties, CAC was partially mixed with ordinary Portland cement (OPC), ranging from 5% to 15%, as a binder. As a result, it was found that...

A case of transcobalamin II deficiency with several unique features is described. The clinical presentation was typical. except for a slightly delayed age at presentation and the occurrence of apparent neurologic dysfunction from the beginning. The unusual biochemical feature was a low serum cobalamin level (97 pg/mI). Several cobalaminbinding protein abnormalities coexisted and antedated cobal...

This technical tip describes the use of a novel binder system based upon sulfopolyester chemistry which eliminates the deficiencies of current binder systems for joinery applications providing enhanced characteristics. Eastek polymer dispersions Eastek polymer dispersions are aqueous dispersions of sulfopolyester polymers based upon monomer building blocks, acids, and 5-(sodiosulpho) isophthali...

Sevelamer (Renagel and Renvela), is an orally administered weakly basic anion exchange resin that binds dietary phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract, and is approved for use in the US, Europe and many other countries for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in adult patients on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Clinical evidence shows that sevelamer is at least as effective as calcium-based...

A new concept for protein recognition and binding is highlighted. The conjugation of small organic molecules or short peptides to polypeptides from a designed set provides binder molecules that bind proteins with high affinities, and with selectivities that are equal to those of antibodies. The small organic molecules or peptides need to bind the protein targets but only with modest affinities ...
