Thixotropic structural build-up is an intrinsic property of fresh cementitious materials, playing a significant role in pumpability, stability and formwork filling concrete, as well buildability 3D printing. This paper presents critical review on the thixotropic cement-based materials from viewpoints origins, evaluation methods, influencing factors applications. Recent research indicates that o...

The majority of carcinomas that were developed due to the infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) are caused by high-risk HPV types, HPV16 and HPV18. These HPV types contain the E6 and E7 oncogenes, so the fast detection of these oncogenes is an important point to avoid the development of cancer. Many different HPV tests are available to detect the presence of HPV in biological samples. The a...

Modeling an anisotropic spatially and temporarily dispersive magnetodielectric medium by two independent collections of three dimensional vector fields, we demonstrate a fully canonical quantization of electromagnetic field in the presence of such a medium. Two tensor fields which couple the electromagnetic field with the medium and have an important role in this quantization method are introdu...

The production of high-quality and pure nanoparticles is becoming increasingly important from an industrial perspective. Current emerging applications include among others medical uses, analytical products or functional pigments. Often the initial synthesis does not deliver required quality with respect to uniform size composition, resulting in need additional purification fractionation steps. ...

Of all the various locomotion strategies in low- R e $Re$ , traveling-wave propulsion methods with an elastic tail are preferred because they can be developed using simple designs and fabrication procedures. The only intrinsic property of that governs form rate wave propagation along its length is bending stiffness. Such traveling motion performed by spermatozoa, which possess a characterized v...

amniotic fluid volume (afv) is one of the important parameters in the assessment of fetal well-being. the ability of ultrasound measurements to represent the actual afv is unproven. this study was undertaken to compare correlation of conventional amniotic fluid index (afi) and radial amniotic fluid index (rafi) as a new method with actual fluid volume on phantom. as an experimental study, 10 to...
