The mechanical properties of cement mortars with 0~2.0% (by mass) polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were experimentally studied, and the effects PVA incorporation on hydration products microstructure mortar determined differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) electron microscopy (SEM). results show that rational content formed evenly dispersed network-like thin films within matrix, these can bridge cracks in matrix improve mortar. Over- may result...

Abstract Backgrounds The NuRD (Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylation) complex is a repressive in gene transcription by modulating chromatin accessibility of target genes to factors RNA polymerase II. Although individual subunits the have been implicated many other cancer types, complex’s role human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) not fully understood. More importantly, has yet investigated as whole cancers. Methods We analyzed expression HCC evaluated prognostic value using RNA-seq data...

The absence of an effective imaging tool for diagnosing renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (RIRI) severely delays its treatment, and currently, no definitive clinical interventions are available. Pyroglutamate aminopeptidase-1 (PGP-1), a potential inflammatory cytokine, has shown considerable as biomarker tracing the process in vivo. However, exact role enhanced visualization RIRI complex biological systems yet to be fully established. Chemiluminescence (CLI) proven one most promising...

Methylprednisolone is an effective drug in the treatment of autoimmune disease, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), due to long-acting anti-inflammatory, antiallergic and immunosuppressant. Previous studies have noted importance myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) MS progression. However, it still not known whether methylprednisolone could influence ratio function MDSC during treatment. In current study, we found increased at onset EAE mice model; but pulse therapy (MPPT) did alter...

Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) are closely associated with cancer cell types. Therefore, ROS-based pattern recognition is a promising strategy for precise diagnosis of cancer, but such possibility has never been reported yet. Herein, we proposed an ROS-responsive fluorescent sensor array based on pH-controlled histidine-templated gold nanoclusters (AuNCs@His) to distinguish types and their proliferation states. In this strategy, three AuNCs@His diverse fluorescence profiles were...

Many studies have confirmed that myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are closely related to autoimmune diseases, but their exact role in these processes remains largely unclear. Here, we investigate this question patients with primary membranous nephropathy (PMN). Compared healthy controls (HCs), PMN showed a significantly increased number of HLA-DR−CD11b+CD33+ MDSCs the peripheral blood, including both CD14+CD66b− monocytic and CD14−CD66b+ granulocytic MDSCs. The frequency was...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are considered as one of the ideal modifiers cement materials, since CNTs can improve mechanical properties paste effectively. However, interfacial interaction between and matrix is weak. Moreover, it difficult to disperse within paste. To overcome these shortages, in this study, were firstly dispersed into a styrene-acrylic emulsion (SAE). Then homo-dispersion CNT/SAE was incorporated The effect hybrid-system on microstructure studied. For purposes comparison, mono...

Sulfate resistance of high-volume fly ash/cement mortars hybrid containing 0~1.5 wt.% nano-silica (Nano-SiO2, NS) and 0~1.0 vol.% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers was investigated in this study. Fly ash replaced with Portland cement at levels 60% by weight. The to sulfate attack exposing the 10 sodium (Na2SO4) solutions for 72 days, after which change mass, compressive, flexural strengths were determined. For comparison, compressive mortar 100 days curing water also investigated....

An industrial building may have several heat sources which together create a high-temperature working environment that puts the health of workers at risk. Ventilation is an effective way to remove heat, but improperly designed systems fail healthy thermal environment. The performance buoyancy-driven hybrid ventilation in multi-heat-source plant was investigated this study. effects height inlet above floor and exhaust velocity on were studied; properly increasing above-floor appears improve...

A lipo-dipeptide (C13-lysine-arginine, C13-KR) was designed as a potential emulsifier with good emulsifying properties under acidic condition. Compared two traditional emulsifiers (whey protein isolate and Tween 80), C13-KR emulsion had the minimum mean size but highest zeta (around +100 mV). Moreover, showed better stability against environmental stresses, such high salt concentrations temperature. The particles fastest move rate around 400 Hz when it attained an equilibrium state....

This paper studies the decay law of low-temperature crack resistance performance rubber powder basalt fiber composite-modified porous asphalt concrete (CM-PAC) under medium- and high-temperature water erosion. Firstly, prepared Marshall specimens were subjected to erosion treatment at different temperatures 20 °C, 40 60 °C for 0–15 days. Then, processed splitting tests, acoustic emission data during test process collected using an device. It can be seen that strength stiffness modulus CM-PAC...

In this paper, the influence of Nano-silica (NS) and Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers on corrosion behavior steel rebar embedded in high-volume fly ash cement mortars under accelerated chloride attack was studied by using an impressed voltage technique. The PVA used were 1.0 vol.%, two mass fractions (50 60 wt.%) replaced ash. Four NS (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 utilized paper. addition, mono hybrid effects mechanical properties water absorption mortar also studied. results showed that incorporation...

Saturation correction for photon counting near the Earth’s surface can improve accuracy of temperature measurement in troposphere by pure rotational Raman lidar (PRRL). The PRRL system uses a 532-nm band as light source, and echo signals high-J low-J channels separated double grating monochromator are used profile inversion. pulse-height distribution discriminator level selection system, which comprise photomultiplier counter, saturate ground affect from higher layer calibration. Given its...
