Fly ash is industrial residue from the coal combustion in electric and steam generating plants recognized as an environmental pollutant. contains a high concentration of silica alumina can be used geopolymer concrete. Studies use fly concrete mixture has been developing recent decades. This review focuses on characteristics hybrid concrete, its resistance peat environment. The made by activatin...

background: despite almost the three decades passed since the chemical attacks of iraqi’s army against the iranian troops, some veterans are still suffering from long-term complications of sulfur mustard (sm) poisoning, including certain skin complaints specially dryness, burning, and pruritus. we thus aimed to evaluate the skin’s water and lipid content in patients with a disability of >25% du...

this study assesses the kinetics of hydration of pulverised fuel ash and metakaolin cement pastes and compares how the rate of reaction affects the pore-characteristics and resistance to ionic ingress. the degrees of hydration for the different mixtures were evaluated, both as a function of the calcium hydroxide content and with respect to the chemically combined water contents. the reaction ra...

CONTEXT Currently, the literature on hot yoga is lacking, and there is still much to understand regarding the safety of these practices. However, one point of safety often emphasized is hydration during the practice of hot yoga. AIM The aim of this study was to examine hydration encouragement by hot yoga instructors and hydration behaviors and related outcomes by hot yoga participants. METH...

BACKGROUND Intravascular volume expansion represents a beneficial measure against contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients undergoing elective angiographic procedures. However, the efficacy of this preventive strategy has not yet been established for patients with ST-elevation-myocardial infarction (STEMI), who are at higher risk of this complication after primary percutaneous ...

We study by means of nuclear magnetic resonance the self-diffusion of protein hydration water at different hydration levels across a large temperature range that includes the deeply supercooled regime. Starting with a single hydration shell (h = 0.3), we consider different hydrations up to h = 0.65. Our experimental evidence indicates that two phenomena play a significant role in the dynamics o...

The rate of hydration influences many important physical properties of gypsum. Previous research examined the rate of gypsum hydration and related this to compressive strength and microstructure development using BET specific surface area analysis. The analysis of gypsum porosity in combination with BET surface area and rate of hydration remains to be done. In the present study, mesoporosity is...

BACKGROUND Hydration in advanced cancer is a controversial area; however, current hydration assessments methods are poorly developed. Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) is an accurate hydration tool; however its application in advanced cancer has not been explored. This study used BIVA to evaluate hydration status in advanced cancer to examine the association of fluid status with sy...

The effect of sulfatide on membrane hydration of 1, 2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE) small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) was investigated using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The degree of hydration in the headgroup region of the bilayer lipids was assessed with the fluorescence lifetime of N-(5-dimethylaminonaphthalene-1-sulfonyl)dipalmitoylphosphatid...

o bjectives: the aim of this study was to determine the cementum thickness in the first molars of patients with localized aggressive periodontitis (lap) compared to healthy individuals. materials and methods: this case-control study compared eight first molar teeth af-fected by lap with eight third molar teeth of healthy individuals. the teeth were dis- infected by immersion in 10% buffered for...
