Respiratory dysfunction is a major source of morbidity and mortality in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and an abdominal binder improves efficiency of the diaphragm and inturn has an effect on respiratory function. To find out the effect on Pulmonary Function with Abdominal Compression Binder in Adult Paraplegics. Method: 20 Paraplegic was selected, informed consent was taken. In sitting...

The main objective of this paper is to investigate the relations of rubber size, rubber content, and binder content in determination of optimum binder content for open graded friction course (OGFC). Mix gradation type B as specified in Specification for Porous Asphalt produced by the Road Engineering Association of Malaysia (REAM) was used in this study. Marshall specimens were prepared with fo...

M. Jodkowski, J. Łabaj, J. Brzóska, D. Jama – Silesian University of Technology, Katowice, Poland The research results on a method of reducing the amount of binder applied during formation of metal concentrates are presented. Research was done on a model copper concentrate, which was mixed in assumed mass fraction with binder, as well as binder with addition of waste polyols. Such mixtures were...

In India, most of the pavement is laid by bituminous road and the consumption of binder is high for pavement construction and also modified binders are used to satisfy any specific pavement requirement. Since the binders are visco-elastic material which is having the mechanical properties of binder transition from viscoelastic solid to visco-elastic fluid. In this paper, two different protocols...

Geopolymer concretes are currently being commercialised in Australia and elsewhere around the world, with a view towards enhancing the sustainability of the world’s construction industry. The fundamental geopolymer binder is an aluminosilicate gel which displays key structural features on every length scale from Ångstroms up to centimetres, meaning that multiscale analysis is key to the develop...

The industrial lignin used here is a byproduct from Kraft pulp mills, extracted from black liquor. Since lignin is inexpensive, abundant and renewable, its utilization has attracted more and more attention. In this work, lignin was used for the first time as binder material for LiFePO₄ positive and graphite negative electrodes in Li-ion batteries. A procedure for pretreatment of lignin, where l...

This memo describes certain details of the Android mechanism of passing binder through another binder. The aim of this paper is to describe certain technical details of this mechanism as well as to point out some obvious security weaknesses. For the sake of simplicity, we do not include description of the whole Android binder framework here. The interested reader may check the OpenBinder docume...

Cobalamin (vitamin B12) binding protein was purified from gastric cancer extracts and from serum-free culture medium of cancer cell line KATOH-III. The molecular weight, determined by immunoprecipitation and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, was 70,000 and the pI was 2.8 to 3.2. From biochemical and immunological properties, this cobalamin binding protein was considered...

When testing the electrochemical performance of metal oxide anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), binder played important role on the electrochemical performance. Which binder was more suitable for preparing transition metal oxides anodes of LIBs has not been systematically researched. Herein, five different binders such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) HSV900, PVDF 301F, PVDF Solvay5130, th...

reactive powder concrete (rpc) is an ultra high performance concrete which has superior mechanical and physical properties. the rpc is composed of cement and very fine powders such as crushed quartz (100–600 μm) and silica fume with very low water/binder ratio (w/b) (less than 0.20) and super plasticizer (sp). the rpc has a very high compressive and tensile strength with better durability prope...
