Abstract To curtail flammability risks and improve material properties, flame retardants (FRs) fillers are mixed into rubbers. High loadings of aluminum trihydroxide (ATH) carbon black (CB) the most used FRs reinforcing additive, respectively, in reduce loading without losing mechanical partial substitution ATH as well CB by low amounts multilayer graphene (MLG) nanoparticles is investigated. T...

We discuss in this work the validity of the theoretical solution of the nonlinear Couette flow for a granular impurity obtained in a recent work [preprint arXiv:0802.0526], in the range of large inelasticity and shear rate. We show there is a good agreement between the theoretical solution and Monte Carlo simulation data, even under these extreme conditions. We also discuss an extended theoreti...

This paper focuses on studying the improvement in the performance of Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) which is used as outdoor high voltage insulating material by adding ATH filler. The study undertakes an investigation of the dry band arcing characteristics of the composite under un – aging condition. Also the dry band arcing characteristics of the composite have been studied under the ...

Clotting blood contains fibrin-bound thrombin, which is a major source of procoagulant activity leading to clot extension and further activation of coagulation. When bound to fibrin, thrombin is protected from inhibition by antithrombin (AT) + heparin but is neutralized when AT and heparin are covalently linked (ATH). Here, we report the surprising observation that, rather than yielding an iner...

BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with a range of microvascular complications including diabetic nephropathy (DN). Microvascular abnormalities in the kidneys are common histopathologic findings in DN, which represent one manifestation of ongoing systemic microvascular damage. Recently, sidestream dark-field (SDF) imaging has emerged as a noninvasive tool that enables one to visual...

The advent of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) strengthened our capacity for small RNA (sRNA) discovery. Here, we did a transcriptome-wide survey of sRNAs, mainly focusing on the microRNAs, with organ-specific expression patterns in both Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and rice (Oryza sativa). By using sRNA HTS data generated by 454 sequencing technology, four organs in Arabidopsis (i.e. six...

BACKGROUND Machine-learning models may aid cardiac phenotypic recognition by using features of cardiac tissue deformation. OBJECTIVES This study investigated the diagnostic value of a machine-learning framework that incorporates speckle-tracking echocardiographic data for automated discrimination of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) from physiological hypertrophy seen in athletes (ATH). MET...

OBJECTIVE At the present time, it is generally accepted that chronic mouth breathing influences craniofacial growth and development. The objective of this study was to determine the position of the jaw, its growth direction and morphology, and the facial proportions of children with two different etiological factors of mouth breathing, at different age groups. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four group...
