A new kind of retarding polycarboxylate superplasticizer (M20S80) was prepared through the modification of black liquor and polycarboxylate superplasticizer (S) through an Fe-H2O2 reaction system. The synthesis process of M20S80 was introduced. Infrared spectrum analysis (FT-IR) was used to investigate the changes in functional groups in M20S80. At the same time, a mixture of LM20S80 was made b...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) superoxide and hydrogen peroxide perform important signaling functions in many physiological and pathophysiological processes. Cell senescence and organismal age are not exemptions.Aging-regulating genes p66shc, Sirtuin, FOXO3a and Klotho are new important factors which are stimulated by ROS signaling. It has been shown that ROS participate in initiation and prolon...

Various chemicals including p-phenylenediamine, n-propyl gallate, 1,4-diazobicyclo[2,2,2]-octane and Citifluor were tested to determine their effectiveness in retarding the fading of fluorescein-conjugated antibody bound to eosinophil granule major basic protein in tissues. Immunofluorescence fading and intensity were measured quantitatively using the Zeiss Zonax microphotometer system. All of ...

In recent decades, tremendous success has been achieved in the advancement of chemical admixtures for Portland cement concrete. Most efforts have concentrated on improving properties concrete and studying factors that influence these properties. Since compressive strength is considered a valuable property invariably vital element structural design, especially high early development which can be...

dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and DHEA sulfate (DHEASS) (adrenopause). Hence, there have been several reports of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to delay or prevent some of the consequences of aging. However, HRT is not without sideeffects. We should use “aging” synonymously with “senescence” rather than merely to describe the actual age of the person.2 The desire for ageless bodies covers th...

We study the problem of allocating multiple resources to agents with heterogeneous demands. Technological advances such as cloud computing and data centers provide a new impetus for investigating this problem under the assumption that agents demand the resources in fixed proportions, known in economics as Leontief preferences. In a recent paper, Ghodsi et al. [2011] introduced the dominant reso...

this article addresses the interplay between heat of hydration and physico-mechanical properties of calcium sulfate hemi-hydrate in the presence of retarding additives such as citric and malic acids and sodium citrate. the heat of hydration was measured using a semi-isothermal calorimeter. results proved that citric and malic acids had superior impact on hydration and mechanical properties. whi...
