While recent studies suggest a correlation between unhealthy dietary patterns, oxidative stress, inflammation, and male infertility, the potential association ultra-processed foods (UPFs) infertility remains underexplored. Therefore, aim of present study was to investigate UPF intake by evaluating sperm quality parameters. The participants (n = 260) current cross-sectional were recruited from an center in Isfahan Province, Iran. Four semen parameters—such as total motility, concentration,...

In this study, reinforcing effect of nanomodified coir fibers with ferric hydroxide, Fe(OH)3, and aluminum Al(OH)3, on shear strength limed marine clay soil was investigated. Accordingly, triaxial compression (TCS) testing carried out to determine the parameters reinforced soil. Also, wetting/drying cycle conducted assess durability samples. The results from experimental investigation show that lime improved through intended modification natural fiber. Moreover, an increase in effective...

This study addresses the use of alkali-activated binder to evaluate feasibility using this promising technique stabilise soils. One well-known agro-wastes, palm oil fuel ash (POFA), was used as a source binder. Also, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium (KOH) were alkaline activators. The influence four factors including kind activator, binder, curing condition water content soil on strengthening performance evaluated according improvement unconfined compression strength (UCS). At same...

Some microorganisms such as Sporoscarcina pasteurii precipitate calcium carbonate and are suitable for biocementation. This study aimed to investigate the effects of several factors including concentration bacteria, chemical reactants, temperature, pH on precipitation carbonate. The results showed that after 7 14 days curing, compressive strength silty clay soil samples increased steadily from 5 9. It was observed plays an important role in highest (i.e. 92 kPa) when treated with 50 ml...

The feasibility of using palm oil fuel ash (POFA) as a precursor for alkali activation reactions, in combination with glass fibers discrete reinforcement, has been investigated. experimental work was focused on the shear strength (using unconfined compression tests) and tensile indirect tests flexural tests). According to results, it found that peak stress increased post-peak behavior modified from brittle more ductile response depending amount fiber reinforcement alkali-activated mixtures....

This study addresses the feasibility of using palm oil fuel ash (POFA) as a precursor in alkali activation reactions, well mineral wollastonite microfibers discrete reinforcement. The experimental program focused on two main mechanical properties, i.e., shear strength (using unconfined compression tests) and tensile (indirect tests flexural tests). Results indicated that inclusion fiber reinforcement alkali-activated mixtures, regardless their particular activator-precursor combinations,...

The carbonate (CO 3 −2 ) produced by Sporosarcina pasteurii was injected electrokinetically to enhance the mechanical properties of soft clay soils. In this method Ca2+ into anode chamber and moved towards cathode electromigration electroosmotic flow. Then released CO from a blend bacteria urea chamber. ions were under mechanism. CaCO3 precipitated in presence calcium porous medium soil, consequently increased shear strength soil. polarity reversal applied have homogeneous distribution CaCO3.
