Rheological evaluation of shortand long-term performance for warm mix asphalt (WMA) binders by Sadeq, Mohammed

“…Test results have shown that the addition of Sasobit increased the stiffness of both binders and changed PG grade by one unit up (6 C PG grade). Also, Sasobit presented better rutting resistance in modified and unmodified binders than Advera, while both WMA additives decreased the fatigue cracking resistance. …”

Adiposity indicators exhibit depot- and sex-specific associations with multimorbidity onset: A cohort study of the UK Biobank by Ma, Lu

“…Results Cox proportional hazard regression analyses of general obesity indices revealed that for every one-unit increase in body mass index, the risk of incident multimorbidity increased by 5.2% (95% confidence interval 5.0%-5.4%). A dose-response relationship was observed between general obesity degrees and incident multimorbidity. …”

Effect of sintering temperature of NBT–6BT lead-free ceramics on the structural, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties by Slimani, Ahmed

“…It is found that the optimal ferroelectric and piezoelectric values were obtained at 1150 °C (P r = 27 µC/cm 2 , E c = 3.89 kV/mm and d 33 = 110 pC/N). According to these results, we suggest that 850 °C and 1150 °C can be considered as optimal calcination and sintering temperature in NBT-6BT ceramic, respectively.…”
