The objective of this paper was to analyze the influence crushed precast concrete waste on transport mechanisms as indicators durability recycled self-compacting (SCC) an alternative coarse fraction natural aggregate. replacement percentages were 20%, 50% and 100%, by weight, silica gravel 2/12.5 mm. Two types SCC manufactured: first with a minimum compressive strength 30 MPa (HR-30) second 45 ...

The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of the somatic cell count (SCC) in milk on reproductive performance, such as pregnancy status in the prepartum period and ovarian function in the postpartum period, in dairy cows. Blood samples were collected every week from one month prepartum to parturition in order to measure the concentrations of 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGF2α (PGFM), estr...

AFX: atypical fibroxanthoma HMWK: high molecular weight keratins IHC: immunohistochemical MMS: Mohs surgery SCC: squamous cell carcinoma INTRODUCTION Poorly differentiated spindle cell neoplasms pose a diagnostic challenge for dermatopathologists because of a lack of specific morphologic features on standard histopathology. Further characterization with immunohistochemical (IHC) studies is freq...

Self-Compacting concrete (SCC) needs no external vibration and compacts fully under its self weight. This paper describes experimental work carried out to develop SCC and to study the effect of different sizes (i.e., 20mm; 16mm; 12.5mm and 10mm) of coarse aggregate (C.A) on the properties of SCC. Eight mixes were investigated for M30 grade concrete. The water-powder ratio was kept fixed through...

Abstract Waste ceramic tile (CT) powders are used to improve the workability, mechanical properties, and durability of self-compacting concrete (SCC). The waste CT powder is prepared by mixing construction tiles, sanitary fittings, electrical insulators, with different weight percentages mixed into SCC. Experiments have been conducted evaluate mechanical, optimum compressive, flexural, tensile ...

PURPOSE To examine the role of suboptimal DNA repair capacity (DRC) for UV light-induced DNA damage in the development of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) and tumor progression. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We conducted a hospital-based case-control study of 255 patients with newly diagnosed NMSC [146 with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and 109 with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)] and 333 cancer-free control...
