The building sector is responsible for major environmental impacts. Utilising bio-based raw materials, such as bio-aggregates, in concrete production could address to this challenge. While the physical and mechanical properties of various concretes have been explored, research on their microstructure resistance extreme conditions limited. Cork a light, renewable biodegradable material. industries produce considerable number solid wastes, among them granulated cork with bark (GCB) that not...

Cigarette butts are one of the most common types litter all around world. This waste when disposed in environment pose a major threat to living organisms and ecosystem health. mainly made cellulose acetate (2.45 substitution) that biodegrades slowly can take up 18 months break down under normal conditions. Cellulose is valuable polymer be used for great variety applications. In this communication, we present results from an ongoing study addressed value cigarette butt based on recovery by...

Used cigarette butts represent a major and problematic form of waste, due to their abundance, toxicity, durability. Moreover, the few proposals for recycling are clearly insufficient, new ones welcome. For proposal regarding reuse used as acoustical absorbers in building construction, previous conditioning is performed. This includes elimination moisture toxic products accumulated filter cigarettes. Thus, this work, content effect absorption was analyzed, made. chemical cleaning procedure...

The goal of this study was to assess in human liver microsomes the inhibitory capacity commonly used antipsychotics on most prominent CYP450 drug metabolizing enzymes (CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, and CYP3A).

The purpose of the present work was to evaluate changes induced by menopause in plasma lipids and total fatty acids.35 post-menopausal 25 non-postmenopausal women were included study. Plasma triglycerides (TG), cholesterol (TC) HDL-C concentrations detemined enzymatically. acids determined capillary gas chromatography.Total higher (p < 0.05) postmenopausal (6.18 +/- 0.77 mmol/l vs. 5.21 0.85 mmol/l). No significant observed, however, TG, or LDL-C. study showed have raised levels stearic acid...

AbstractThis study was performed on 19 postmenopausal female volunteers in a period of five months moderate physical exercise order to examine beneficial changes muscle strength and flexibility as well sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) other parameters related bone metabolism. While SHBG decreased significantly (from 56.0 ± 20.0 43.9 16.1 nM, P = 0.009) phosphorus urea increased 2.8 0.4 4.0 0.5 mg/dl, 0.00006 from 32.1 9.4 42.3 11.0 0.03, respectively). These were accompanied by...

This study was performed on 18 postmenopausal female volunteers in order to examine changes sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC), total (TC) and serum triglyceride (TG) levels a period of four months moderate physical exercise. While SHBG decreased significantly (from 55.3 +/- 20.9 48.3 21.0 nM, P < 0.05), TG increased 87 41.7 120.5 57.5 mg/dl, 0.001). These were accompanied by significant decrease (P 0.001) body fat content. Other parameters such...

The increasing demand of natural aggregates for concrete in construction has degenerated the environment. This given impetus to researches sustainable development by using different bio-aggregates as lightweight aggregate concrete. Cork which is a light, renewable and biodegradable material cork industries generate considerable amount solid wastes, among them are granulated with bark (GCB) that not suitable produce agglomerated because its grains high density lack required qualities. In...

This study analyzes the effects of physical exercise on urinary collagen crosslinks, pyridinoline (PYD) and deoxipyridinoline (DPD), in women.Thirty premenopausal (PRE) 40 postmenopausal (PST) women took part a six month randomized controlled trial moderate exercise. Moreover, skinfold thickness, muscle strength flexibility were evaluated.Basal values PYD DPD higher versus (P<0.01). Physical increased both groups levels (P<0.05) (P<0.05). After program, no changes observed women. Significant...

In recent years the development of new and more sophisticated biomaterials have led to production different types implants prostheses that effectively replace injured or malfunctioning body parts. As a result, there has been an increasing use these dental, cardiovascular synthetic substitutes. The Ti6Al4V alloy widely investigated as implant biomaterial because its strength, high density resistance corrosion processes, well good osseointegration capability. However, due surface roughness, is...
