Besides that, air-entraining agents have negative effect on the compressive strength of concrete and usage is not allowed in case of some application area [3]. Another solution is the application of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs, like metakaolin and silica-fume), which lowers the porosity of the

The use of low-ionic-strength saline (LISS) solution as an enhancement for antibody screening and crossmatching was first described by Löw and Messeter in 1974. This method allowed for a reduced incubation time while maintaining adequate specificity and sensitivity of the antiglobulin test (AGT). Since then, the LISS-AGT tube method has been widely used in antibody detection and identification, as well as compatibility testing. As initially described, the method used red blood cells

Before concrete is brought into service, final process is the curing of concrete which is susceptible to different environmental conditions. For instance, atmospheric steam curing is essential to accelerate the strength development of concrete in precast concrete industry.

Firstly, the use of steel fibers increases the tensile strength, ductility, and flexural toughness characteristics of the concrete. Moreover, the presence of steel fibers reduces the formation and propagation of cracks due to early age plastic settlement and drying shrinkage. Secondly, the brittle behavior of the concrete evaluates to tougher fracture mechanism [3]. On the contrary, the use of

INTRODUCTION
Powder metallurgy is a processing method where green parts are compacted using dies and get sintered. Sintering offers equivalent strength as a cast iron and superior design flexibility and produces Near-Net-Shaped (NNS) parts at lower costs and it reduces the need for the machining process. Now, sinter brazing is an established joining process for Powder Metal components, and it is often used in the production of automotive applications. A successfully brazed joint relies

The blood group antigen Vel has been one of immunohematology’s greatest enigmas: the variation in antigen strength from one individual to another, the property of anti-Vel to readily hemolyze Vel+ red blood cells (RBCs), and the difficulty to screen for sufficient numbers of Vel– blood donors had made Vel a tough nut to crack. In 2013, a small, previously unknown protein called small integral membrane protein 1 (SMIM1) was identified on the RBC by three independent research groups

Objective: The evolution of adhesive dentistry and the addition of nanoparticles has heralded an improvement in the mechanical properties of adhesives. Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects produced by carbon nanotubes (CN) added to two adhesives used for indirect bonding by an examination of the shear bond strength (SBS) and location of bond failure. Methods: One hundred and sixty bovine incisors were randomly divided into eight groups (N = 20): (1) indirect bonding

If there is a difference in the strength of homophily between offline and online social networks, studies regarding homophily that examine only the offline or online environment will fail to depict the strength of homophily in a social group. In this study, I aim to reveal the differences in gender homophily among communication media through a case study of a high school classroom.

Individuals with unusual I and i antigen reactivity patterns were further tested by a semi-quantitative method with a battery of anti-I and anti-i reagents, followed by family studies. Three of the 5864 donors tested showed an elevated strength of i antigen. Further study revealed an intermediate strength of both I and i antigens compared with those

A Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis was carried out using a Spectrometer Model 4000 (Shimadzu, Japan) to study the interaction of the composite’s components. The physical properties of the membranes were examined to verify the addition of the treated CF at the different mixing ratio.

Received Signal Strength (RSS) and DV-Hop, are two different schemes that each have environment or hop dependency problem. Hybrid localization scheme, called H-Loc, is a combination of RSS and DV-Hop method. This scheme is proposed to make the selection of distance determination process based on the

The main objective is to investigate the characteristics of propagation phenomenon by analysing the received signal strength. The experiments were made at the estate where there are straight line uniform canopies of mature oil palm trees. The measurements were carried out on the same transmission paths with different number of trees and height at trunk, leaves and fruits

It can make a dynamic adjustment on the transmitted power according to the fuzzy control rules. The fuzzy control is suitable to solve the problem which is difficult to deal with in building system mathematical model. What’s more, the fuzzy control system has perfect performance in response speed and antijamming capability. It’s

Therefore this study focuses on evaluating the magnitude of the wavelet transform in a frequency range around 16 kHz and tries to correlate this strength with sand flow rate. Also, it can be seen that the strength of the signal at a frequency of 16 kHz changes at various times. For instance, the magnitude of signal at 16 kHz is more in the time domain around 0.5 sec compared with that at 1.5 sec. Note that in this experiment, the ultrasonic signal is recorded for 2 seconds.

It should be noted that the proposed method is flexible and other properties of concrete may be chosen to suit the application needs. As a reference value, the value of 28-day strength is taken as equal to 60 MPa and the sorptivity is taken as equal to 0.120 cm/h0.5.

The role of synaptic plasticity in disease is an active area of research.
