In order to develop fire resistant geopolymer materials, it is necessary understand the parameters controlling their thermal behavior such as content of alkali or rare earth cations. This study highlights effect carbonate nature and amount on geopolymers in propose a model behaviour predict shrinkage. For this, various mixtures kaolin calcite and/or dolomite with different percentages were calc...

Invertebrates' immune defense mechanisms play a critical role in pathogen recognition and elimination. De novo assembly annotation of the Argopecten ventricosus transcriptome were performed for immune-related gene identification. Scallops (height: 4.4 cm) challenged with inactivated Vibrio parahaemolyticus IPNGS16. The RNA from different tissues was pooled single cDNA library construction seque...
