High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composite (HPFRCC) materials exhibit strain hardening behavior with multiple cracking under tensile loading. In this paper, experimental and parametric studies are performed to assess the influence of using HPFRCC material instead of normal concrete in reinforced concrete beams. After calibrating the experimental results, the analytical results inc...

A series of crystalline dinuclear rhodium complexes with different bridging diisocyano ligands and different counter ions have been studied by low-temperature crystallographic and solid-state spectroscopic techniques. The Rh-Rh distances vary from 4.5153(3) to 3.0988(7) angstroms, and the twist angles around the Rh-Rh line from 58.3(1) to 0 degree, both depending on the size and conformational ...

Toxoplasma gondii is a persistent protozoan parasite capable of infecting almost any warm-blooded vertebrates. SAG1 (p30) is the prototypic member of a superfamily of surface antigens called SRS (SAG1-related sequence). It constitutes the most abundant and predominant antigen. In this paper the primary structure of mature SAG1 gene of an Indonesian T. gondii isolate is described and sequence co...

a total of 2519 blood samples were collected from five distinct populations of larestan, in fars province, in iran (lar, gerash, khour, latifi and berake) were examined for abo and rh blood groups. the gene frequencies obtained from these samples were compared with the hitherto reported corresponding data from other populations of fars province to determine the genetic structure of the larestan...

C(2)H(4)/CO/H(2) reaction is investigated on Rh/SiO(2) model catalyst surfaces. Kinetic reactivity and infrared spectroscopic measurements are investigated as a function of Rh particle size under near atmospheric reaction conditions. Results show that propionaldehyde turnover frequency (TOF) (CO insertion pathway) exhibits a maximum activity near = 2.5 nm. Polarization modulation infrare...

Clinicians sometimes are confronted with the challenge of transfusing haemorrhaging Rhesus (Rh) D negative patients with Rh D positive blood to save their lives. There are concerns about alloimmunization and future haemolytic disease of the newborn in women of the reproductive age. Another fear is transfusion reaction if they receive another Rh D positive blood in future. We present a 32-year-o...

A glyceollin I accumulation o f about 6000 pmol • mg dry weight, a tenfold increase above control root tissue, was found in one type o f nodule from Glycine max which had been infected with a fix~ strain (61-A-24) o f Rhizobium japonicum. In nodules infected with one other ineffective (ßx~) strain o f Rhizobium japonicum (RH 31-Marburg) or with two f i x + strains o f Rhizobium japonicum (61 -A...

Using a small-core single-mode fiber (SCSMF), a novel relative humidity (RH) sensor based on an SMF28-SCSMF-SMF28 fiber structure was proposed in this paper. By depositing a humidity sensitive material, such as poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) on the bare SCSMF fiber, the proposed structure can act as an RH sensor with high sensitivity. Experiments demonstrated that the proposed RH sensor with PEO c...

By ALEXANDER S. WIENER, M.D., F.A.C.P., RAFFAELE NAPPI, M.D. AND EVE B. GORDON I N THE PRECEDING PAPER’ our methods for performing Rh antibody titrations were described in detail, with special reference to the precautions taken to insure objective and reproducible results. Using these technics, it was shown that pregnancies with Rh-negative fetuses and the birth of Rh-negative babies have no si...
