A method for osmicating, dehydrating, and flat-embedding large slabs of brain tissue in epoxy resin is presented. This permits the production of semithin sections for postembedding immunocytochemistry that are far larger than can be obtained with other embedding approaches. Vibratomed slabs, 50-200 microns thick and as large as 6 x 8 mm are embedded in a 'soft' Araldite epoxy. The slabs are lam...

Abstract In some concrete structures, openings are placed because of the need for several utility requirements. These could affect strength structural members. So behavior reinforcement (RC) cantilever slab containing and its effect is subject study. Opening shapes, numbers sizes main variables that have been studied in this research. Five RC slabs were cast tested; one without other four with ...
