A full factorial experiment was conducted to analyze the main and interaction effects on physical mechanical properties of Cupressus funebris Endl. wood subjected vacuum heat modification. The response variables evaluated were mass loss rate (ML, %), moisture resistance (MR, modulus rupture in bending (MOR, MPa). results reveal significant variations modification time, holding temperature, pres...

Regulation for calculating earthquake forces building in Indonesia keep developing. SNI 1726-2019 is the lastest regulation which has a return period of 2500 years, while 1726-2002 500 years. So old have to be strengthened. Steel braces good option resist lateral forces. In value response modification factor (R), overstrength (Ω0), and deflection amplification (Cd) eccentrically braced concrete...

Although hyperglycemia is causally related to adverse outcomes after myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we investigated whether excessive O-linked-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), an important cardioprotective enzyme, was a mechanism for the hyperglycemic exacerbation of myocardial I/R i...

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) causes proliferation in renal tubular cells but, when it is combined with transforming growth factor-beta1, it causes hypertrophy by a mechanism that requires the activity of the retinoblastoma family of proteins. In contrast, ammonia causes hypertrophy by decreasing lysosomal proteolysis; in some cell types, it also decreases cellular proliferation. These studies ...

decolorization of remazol brilliant blue r (rbbr) by trametessp. pellets was studied in a batch reactor. dye removal process was performed in shaken flasks which contained 100 ml of rbbr aqueous solution and fungal pellets. the process was followed for 48 h and the dye removal was analyzed at a visible spectrum of 590 nm. response surface methodology (rsm) employing box behnken design at three ...
