Net sodium (Na) loss during diuretic administration is limited by postdiuretic renal salt retention. This could be a homeostatic response to extracellular fluid volume (ECV) depletion. However, rats infused with loop diuretics develop structural and functional adaptations in the distal nephron that enhance NaCl reabsorption. Therefore, the hypothesis that postdiuretic Na retention in humans con...

Abstract This study examines the potential use of Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide (EMD) residue as a replacement cement (20%wt by weight) in construction materials to provide anticorrosion protection on reinforcing steel and improve strength cementitious under sulfate attack.

As a by-product of lithium salt mining, the emission slag increases yearly due to increased demand. Therefore, utilization faces huge challenge. In this study, new approach using as super-fine aggregate in cement systems was proposed. The use replacing 0%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and 100% standard sand tested. main hydration products cement–lithium paste were calcium silicate hydrate gel, hydroxide, unh...

Today power consumption is considered to be one of the important issues. Therefore, its reduction plays a considerable role in developing systems.
