The suitability of applying shrinkage reducing additives in alkali activated coal gangue-slag composites is discussed this study. effect sulphoaluminate cement (SAC), high performance concrete expansion agent (HCSA) and U-type (UEA) on the reaction process, behavior, phase composition, microstructure mechanical properties are evaluated. results show that addition SAC slightly mitigates early st...

The in vitro toxic response of spiropyrans in cellular models has not been previously addressed, despite the fact that such photoswitchable molecules have shown great potential as versatile and tunable components for bionanodevices and imaging agents. In this study, we examine the cytotoxic effects of a spiropyran, namely, 8-methoxy-6-nitro-BIPS (1',3'-dihydro-1'-ethanol-3',3'-dimethyl-8-methox...

It has always been the goal of many researchers to gain a thorough understanding patterns in stock market and forecast trends it will follow. The use an advanced forecasting model can assist with accurately future price stocks, their fluctuations markets, as well make profits trading. With this motivation, study, novel index trend predictor is designed by integrating Multiple Criteria Decision-...

“Zero deforestation” commitments are pledges by companies to avoid deforestation when producing palm oil. Zero can be implemented using the High Carbon Stock Approach (HCSA), a tool that distinguishes forests from degraded land which developed. In highly forested countries like Gabon, zero may conflict with national economic goals involving oil and other agricultural commodities. We investigate...

background and objective: haemophilus influenzae type b (hib) is divided into two distinct genotypes, type i and type ii, based on the structure of capsular polysaccharides. the capsulation locus of haemophilus influenzae type b consists of three functionally distinct regions, designated regions 1 to 3. region iii contains hcsa and hcsb genes; however, notable sequence variation in this region ...

TOTAL HEALTH CARE spending reached 17.4 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2013, and that share is expected to continue to grow signifi­ cantly, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Given this trend, it is critical to de­ velop an understanding of what those increased expen­ ditures represent. Are the increases attributable to rising costs of treatment or more in...

The complete capsule (cap) loci from three Haemophilus influenzae strains, one serotype b (Hib) and two nonencapsulated b capsule-negative variants, were sequenced. Two new open reading frames, hcsA and hcsB, were identified in region III and thought to be involved in postpolymerization modification of the capsule. The location of the cap locus in the Haemophilus influenzae chromosome was ident...

Electrospun polyaniline (PAni) fibers doped with different levels of (+)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid (HCSA) have been fabricated and evaluated as chemiresistive gas sensors. The experimental results, based on both sensitivity and response time, show that doped PAni fibers are excellent ammonia sensors and that undoped PAni fibers are excellent nitrogen dioxide sensors. The fibers exhibit changes i...
