Limestone filler is a raw material that is already used in several applications like paints, bricks, bituminous mixtures...etc. Moreover, and particularly in Belgium, classical additions for concrete like fly ashes and granulated blast furnace slags are becoming rare; there is a need for new additions that could have a positive effect on the properties of the fresh and hardened cementitous comp...

background: despite numerous developments in the field of assisted reproduction the implantation rate remains low .recent studies suggested that local injury to endometrium in controlled ovarian hyper stimulation cycle improves implantation rate. studies have attempted to intervene in the development of endometrium. objective: the aim of the present study was the exploration of the possibility ...

Cells possessing glucagon- and glucagon-like immunoreactivity (GLI) were studied by an indirect immunofluorescence technique in the normal canine gastrointestinal mucosa and pancreas. Glucagon-immunoreactivity was demonstrated in the basal-granulated cells in the deeper portion of the fundic gland of the stomach as well as in the A cells of the pancreatic islet. GLI-positive basal-granulated ce...

Organic pollutants (e.g. polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH)) strongly sorb to carbonaceous sorbents such as black carbon and activated carbon (BC and AC, respectively). For a creosote-contaminated soil (Sigma15PAH 5500 mg kg(dry weight(dw))(-1)) and an urban soil with moderate PAH content (Sigma15PAH 38 mg kg(dw)(-1)), total organic carbon-water distribution coefficients (K(TOC)) were up to a fact...
