Using oil shale ash waste as a modifier for asphalt binders by Ghuzlan, Khalid

“…The complex shear modulus (G*) and phase angle (δ) of asphalt binders were investigated using the Superpave Dynamic Shear Rheometer and the rotational viscosity (RV). It was found that increasing the OSA/A percentage increased the G* value and the RV of asphalt binders, and improved the Superpave rutting parameter, but did not affect significantly the phase angle. …”

Entry of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine into the rat brain by Riachi, N.J.

“…Early retention of MPTP by the brain was not due to its rapid metabolism by monoamine oxidase because pargyline pretreatment did not affect this rate constant. However, 30 min after [3H]MPTP injection, brain retention of the 3H tracer was reduced significantly by pargyline treatment, and the ratio of brain MPTP/MPP+ was increased markedly.…”
