This paper presents the effect of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) on Conventional Concrete (Silica Fume Based M30 Grade Concrete). The Silica Fume Based M30 Grade Concrete was prepared by adding NaCl concentrations of 0.5,2,4,6,8,10 and 12 g/l i n deionised water. In addition to this, control specimen was prepared with deionised water (without NaCl) for the purpose of co mpari son . The tensile strength...

Testing Newtonian gravity in the weak-acceleration regime is vital to our understanding of the nature of the gravitational interaction. It has recently been claimed that the velocity dispersion profiles of several globular clusters flatten out at large radii, reminiscent of galaxy rotation curves, even though globular clusters are thought to contain little or no dark matter. We investigate this...

We report the discovery of two binary millisecond pulsars in the core-collapsed globular cluster M30 using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) at 20 cm. PSR J2140−2310A (M30A) is an eclipsing 11-ms pulsar in a 4-hr circular orbit and PSR J2140−23B (M30B) is a 13-ms pulsar in an as yet undetermined but most likely highly eccentric (e> 0.5) and relativistic orbit. Timing observations of M30A with a 20...

Objective. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with obesity and insulin resistance (IR), key features of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Cytokeratin 18 fragments (M30) have been established as a serum marker for NASH. The insulin sensitizer metformin improves hepatic IR. This study evaluates the influence of MF on serologic NASH (sNASH) in patients with PCOS. Patients and Method...

We present F555W (V ), F439W (B), and F336W (U) photometry of 9507 stars in the central 2 of the dense, post core collapse cluster M30 (NGC 7099) derived from Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field/Planetary Camera 2 images. These data are used to study the mix of stellar populations in the central region of the cluster. Forty eight blue straggler stars are identified; they are found to be strongly ...

Under inflammatory conditions, activated microglia are capable of producing proinflammatory cytokines that are reported to influence cell-to-cell communication. The present study was performed to evaluate the influence of microglial activation on the coupling efficiency of the astroglial network. Primary astrocyte cultures of newborn rats were cocultured with either 5% (M5) or 30% (M30) microgl...

We report the detection of six discrete, low-luminosity (LX < 1033 erg s−1) X-ray sources, located within 12 of the center of the collapsed-core globular cluster M30 (NGC 7099), and a total of 13 sources within the half-mass radius, from a 50 ksec Chandra ACIS-S exposure. Three sources lie within the very small upper limit of 1.9 on the core radius. The brightest of the three core sources has a...

The erythematous patches and vesicles that are observed in coma patients, usually from an overdose of medication, are known as coma blisters. However, it is unknown whether the degenerated sweat gland is a necrosis or apoptosis. We immunohistochemically examined such skin lesions to investigate the characteristics and pathogenesis of the coma blister. Skin lesions were obtained from a forensic ...

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an emerging opportunistic pathogen with an increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant strains. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of S. maltophilia strain M30, isolated from a pressure ulcer in an elderly patient.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae M30, a high ethanol producing flocculent strain, was hybridized with Zygosaccharomyces rouxii TISTR1750, a halotolerant non-flocculent strain, by polyethylene glycol induced protoplast fusion. The protoplast fusion of these two yeast genera occurred with frequency of 5.89X10-5. Three fusants, namely RM11, RM37 and RM58, were selected based on their high ethanol fermenta...
