This work focuses on the use of alkali activated fly ash-based binder to enhance engineering characteristics soft clay-rich soils and as a substitute standard stabilisers (e.g., lime or cement). Especially, it examines microstructural evolution calcium-rich ash from coal combustion-based by sodium-based alkaline solution. To this end, processes generating microstructure pore network over time a...

TRP vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) is a nonselective cation channel expressed prominently in medium- to large-diameter sensory neurons that can be activated by extreme heat (>52°C). These features suggest that TRPV2 might be a transducer of noxious heat in vivo. TRPV2 can also be activated by hypoosmolarity or cell stretch, suggesting potential roles in mechanotransduction. To address the physiological fu...

Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 287: F365–F372, 2004. First published June 22, 2004; 10.1152/ajprenal. 00035.2004.—We showed that renal proximal tubular cells (RPTC) can proliferate and migrate following plating and oxidant or mechanical in...

Modelling of the deformation process Al85Y8Ni5Co2 amorphous alloys was carried out under simultaneous application cyclic mechanical load (at 0.3 or 3 Hz frequencies) and continuously increasing temperature (heating rate 5 K/min). It is shown that specimens occurs by hyperbolic temporal dependence. analytically determined experimentally proved for non-isothermal deformation, wave effects take pl...

Locations and response characteristics of nociceptive neurons in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord were studied in urethane-chloralose anesthetized Japanese macaques. There were two general categories of nociceptive neurons. Neurons of the first type, nociceptive specific (NS) neurons, responded only to intense mechanical stimuli. Neurons of the second type, wide dynamic range (WDR) neurons, w...
