PURPOSE Helicobacter pylori is one of the most prevalent infectious agents in the world which causes a variety of gastrointestinal diseases including gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric carcinoma. The objective of this study was to comparatively evaluate invasive (rapid urease test and polymerase chain reaction) and non-invasive (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) tests in diagnosis of infectio...

The Hamburg wheel tracking test (HWTT) is a widely used testing procedure designed to accelerate and simulate the rutting phenomena in laboratory. Rut depth, as one of outputs HWTT, dependent on number parameters related mix design conditions. This study introduces new model for predicting depth asphalt mixtures using deep learning technique - convolution neural network (CNN). A database contai...

Permanent deformation is one of the distress that develops gradually as number load applications increases and appears longitudinal depressions in wheel paths small upheavals to sides. For this reason, numerous studies conducted on modification asphalt binder or mixture by various fibre. This paper presents evaluation creep modulus permanent modified with fibres. In order envisage mixture, Fort...

Abstract Mulberry ( Morus alba L.) leaf, a “source of both medicine and food”, contains antioxidant ingredients such as flavonoids, alkaloids polyphenols. The effects 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA) treatment on plant growth flavonoid contents in mulberry leaves were investigated this study. expression rutin (Rut), chlorogenic acid (ChA), isoquercitrin (IQ) astragaloside IV (Ast) related genes the s...

Stone mastic asphalt (SMA) has become widely used in the field of pavement engineering. Using specific additives SMA is necessary due to climate change and load condition variations. Thus, it essential utilise a modern mixture with high capacity survive traffic loads. The current study aims use combination waste polyethene terephthalate (PET) Nano-silica (NS) as newly developed hybrid additive ...

background coronary artery diseases (cad) are associated with psychological problems such as anxiety and depression in patients. thus, management of these problems can consider as an important intervention by health care workers, especially nurses. objectives the purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of patient-focused clinical pathway on anxiety, depression and satisfactio...

The asphalt industry is increasingly developing with greater focus on sustainability. This study focuses the benefits of a binder modification stone mastic (SMA) by adding rubber—ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM)—into class 320 bitumen. observes advantages that occur for rutting and fatigue performance samples. was made incorporating 0, 2, 4 6% weight into each sample. tests performed sam...

One of the most severe problems with flexible asphalt pavements is permanent deformation in form rutting. Accordingly, practice adding fiber elements to mix improve performance under dynamic loading has grown significantly order prevent rutting distress and ensure a safe long-lasting road surface. This paper explores effects combination ceramic (CF), low-cost, easily available mineral fiber, th...
