During narrative comprehension, readers construct representations of the situation described by a text, called situation models. Theories of situation model construction and event comprehension posit two distinct types of situation model updating: incremental updating of individual situational dimensions, and global updates in which an old model is abandoned and a new one created. No research t...

The purpose of this study is to investigate some hardened properties green self-compacting concrete (GSCC) with 15% volumetric replacements crushed clay brick waste as coarse aggregate and reinforced scrap tires recycled steel fibers (STRSF) 0, 0.25, 0.5and 0.75%volume fraction 40 an aspect ratio. Also, a combination two STRSF ratios 60 was used in GSCC hybrid fiber reinforcement (0.25 0.25%, 0...

The purpose of this study was to determine the temporal and spatial changes in the expression of AQP4 and AQP9 in the optic nerve after it is crushed. The left optic nerves of rats were either crushed (crushed group) or sham operated (sham group), and they were excised before, and at 1, 2, 4, 7, and 14 days later. Four optic nerves were pooled for each time point in both groups. The expression ...

In type A, Bott-Samelson varieties are posets in which ascending chains are flags of vector spaces. They come equipped with a map into the flag variety G/B. These varieties are mostly studied in the case in which the map into G/B is birational to the image. In this paper we study Bott-Samelsons for general types, more precisely, we study the combinatorics a fiber of the map into G/B when it is ...

The study was designed to evaluate the use of low concentrations of separan flocculent (Less than 3 ppm) on physicochemical properties of sugar cane juice. Colour, pH, purity, turbidity, pol, brix, reducing sugars tannins and polyphenols of crushed cane (green and burned) juice, mixed juice and clarified juice were studied. The results showed that pol, brix, reducing sugar and turbidity are hig...

Customers often evaluate products at brick-and-mortar stores to identify their “best fit” product, but end up buying this product not at the store but at a competing online retailer to take advantage of lower prices. This free-riding behavior by customers is referred to as “showrooming.” We analyze three strategies to counter the effect of showrooming that may improve profits for the brick-and-...

To evaluate of the sunflower crushed in nutritional parameters in steers, supplemented at pasture, we used four steers in 4×4 Latin square design. The supplements were provided in 6 g/kg of body weight/animal/day, consisting of sunflower crushed, corn, soybean meal and mineral. All the supplements was isonitrogenous and soybean meal was replaced in 0, 20, 40, and 60% for sunflower crushed. The ...

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) has many properties comparing to conventional and represents a good choice towards sustainability. The use of different recycled materials contributes seize the negative impact huge amount waste on ecosystem. In this study, locally available have been used as partially cement replacements. Such including ceramic powder (CWP) glass (GP) in addition fly ash with tot...

A laboratory study was made of the effects of crushed particles, both coarse and fine aggregate, on the stability of bituminous-aggregate mixtures. Crushed limestone and varying percentages of crushed and uncrushed gravel were used as the coarse aggregate while variation in the shape of the fine aggregate was obtained by using rounded natural sand and crushed-stone sand. These aggregates were u...

The landscape of the human genome consists of millions of short islands of conservation that are 100% conserved across multiple vertebrate genomes (termed "bricks"), the majority of which are located in noncoding regions. Several hundred thousand bricks are deeply conserved reaching the genomes of amphibians and fish. Deep phylogenetic conservation of noncoding DNA has been reported to be stron...
