Cement-based composites are generally non-conductors with high electrical resistivity, but they can be used as conductors by incorporating conductive materials. Recently, research has been actively conducted to develop high-conductive fiber-reinforced cement mortar (FRCM) due increased interest in multifunctional required the market today. Thus, present paper investigated effect of developed FR...

Ractopamine-HCl (RAC) is a beta-adrenergic agonist with variable effects on cattle performance and carcass variables. Cull cows fed RAC (200 mg . head(-1) . d(-1)) demonstrate an increased size of type I and II muscle fibers that does not translate into a larger ribeye area. The objective of this study was to examine the dose-dependent effects of RAC on cull cow muscle morphometrics. Eighty-eig...

In this paper we study the dynamic behavior of a concentrated short glass fiber suspension subject to simple shear flow. In particular we are interested in determining the relationship between the stress growth functions (shear and first normal stress) and the evolution of the fibers’ orientation distribution within the sample. Stress growth experiments, in start-up of flow, are performed on a ...

In this study, our aim was to develop solid drug-cyclodextrin inclusion complex system having nanofibrous morphology in order to have fast-dissolving property and enhanced water-solubility of poorly water-soluble drug. Here, we prepared a highly concentrated aqueous solution of inclusion complex between sulfisoxazole and sulfobutyl ether7-beta-cyclodextrin (SBE7-β-CD, Captisol®), and then, with...

polarographic methods have been developed for the determination of two cephalosporins namely cefotaxime (ctx) and ceftriaxone (ctr) in pharmaceutical formulations. well defined peaks at potentials –1.432 v vs. sce for ctx and –1.627 v vs. sce for ctr were obtained in the presence of tungsten (vi). the method has been successfully applied for the determination of above mentioned cephalosporins i...

Waste cassava fiber and tea polyphenols were used as carrier materials reducing agents, respectively, to prepare nano-iron loaded composite (CF-FeNPs). This work investigated the factors affecting removal of Cr(?) by CF-FeNPs under different environmental conditions mechanism. The SEM characterization results show that initial Fe2+ concentration increases, amount on surface material increases. ...

Strain hardening cementitious composite (SHCC) is a special class of ultra-ductile material which has autogenous self-healing capability due to its intrinsic tight crack widths. To further improve healing ability, agent (HA) can be incorporated in SHCC, enabling it also the autonomous mechanism. In this study, effects adding bacteria-embedded polylactic acid (PLA) capsules on mechanical propert...

This study focuses on using a facile method for the green preparation of activated carbon (AC) from palm tree fiber (PTF) waste. The synthesized cost-effective AC was investigated removal an anionic dye (Congo red, CR) and cationic (Rhodamine B, RhB) wastewater. morphological structural characterization were performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission (TEM), surface area, Four...

Abstract: Introduction: Tablet is the preferred drug dosage form. Cellulose fiber (Micro Crystalline Cellulose) major excipient used. For chronic diseases, frequent required resulting in cumulative load and tachyphylaxis due to drug. We intent invent excipients from vegetable sources mitigate above challenges reduce as sufferers (Diabetes mellitus) requires lifelong treatment. Aims Objectives: ...
