Improving Concrete Durability by Using Optimized Aggregate Gradation and Reducing Cement Content by Chung, Hung-Wen

“…The main findings from this study are as follows: (1) The cementitious content of typical Florida pavement and structural concrete can be reduced by as much as 10 to 15% without loss in workability of the fresh concrete, and without decreasing the strength and durability of the hardened concrete. (2) Portlandlimestone cement (Type IL) can be used as a substitute for ordinary Portland cement (Type I/II). (3) The OAG technique can be used to efficiently reduce the cementitious content of the concrete mixes and to improve their performance."…”

Oxidative stress-induced Akt downregulation mediates green tea toxicity towards prostate cancer cells by Posadino, Anna Maria

“…Treatment of PC3 cells with 30 and 100μg/ml PE significantly decreased cell viability and proliferation. At the tested concentrations, PE did not exert any antioxidant activity, eliciting instead a pro-oxidant effect at concentrations 30 and 100μg/ml, which was consistent with the observed PE cytotoxicity. …”

Decomposition rate and stabilization across six tundra vegetation types exposed to >20 years of warming by Sarneel, Judith M.

“…Soil metal concentrations impeded both initial decomposition rate and stabilization. Conclusions: While a warmer Arctic climate will likely have direct effects on initial litter decomposition rates in tundra, stabilization of organic matter was more affected by vegetation type and soil parameters and less prone to be affected by direct effects of warming.…”

Identification of an amino-terminus determinant critical for ryanodine receptor/Ca2+ release channel function. by Seidel, Monika

“…Deletion of the β8-β9 sequence produces unstable tetrameric channels with subdued intracellular Ca2+ mobilization implicating a role for this domain in channel opening. The arrhythmia-linked R176Q mutation within the β8-β9 loop decreases N-terminus tetramerization but does not affect RyR2 subunit tetramerization or the N-terminus interaction with C-terminus. …”
