Transient states maintained by energy dissipation are an essential feature of dynamic systems where structures and functions regulated fluxes matter through chemical reaction networks. Perfected in biology, chemically fueled dissipative networks incorporating nanoscale components allow the unique properties nanomaterials to be bestowed with spatiotemporal adaptability responsiveness. We report ...

Abstract This study replaced fly ash with palm oil fuel (POFA) in geopolymer paste and mortar. The alkaline activator was a mixture of sodium silicate solution hydroxide ratio 2.5. Three variables were evaluated: the raw material combination (100% 25% POFA substituted to ash), mass alkali (60/40, 65/35, 70/30), NaOH molarity (8 M 10 M). mortar utilized based on highest compressive strength past...

Abstract Alkali-activated systems belong to the group of alternative inorganic binders in which binder properties are dictated by both aluminosilicate precursor and alkaline activator. In this work, blast furnace slag three different activators, namely sodium hydroxide, water glass, carbonate, were selected. An innovative mixture design based on same concentration alkali (Na + ) 4 mol/dm 3 for ...

The gastroduodenal mucosa has a rich blood supply. An active fibrinolytic system is presumably required to maintain vascular patency, and impairment may result in reduced blood flow, focal tissue necrosis, and peptic ulcerogenesis. Tissue type and urokinase type plasminogen activator activity (expressed as mIU/mg protein) and plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 antigen were assayed in homoge...

Article Elevated soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) in COVID-19 patients was published on October 1, 2021 the journal Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (CCLM) (volume 59, issue 11).

Several fibrinolytic variables, including plasminogen activator inhibitor activity, were studied before and after exercise in 67 normolipidaemic patients with coronary artery disease and in 25 hyperlipidaemic patients with coronary artery disease. Before exercise plasminogen activator inhibitor activity was higher in the patient groups than in a group of 10 healthy volunteers. For those who wer...
