The durability of pavement subgrade materials is the most important indicator for judging their merits as well mechanical properties. material mainly reflected in its water stability, because actual environment, subjected to infiltration groundwater, immersion and washout pressure under concrete slab. a series damage caused by freeze-thaw cycles wet-dry due changes temperature. In view this, th...

Use of the double ring infiltrometer to measure soil water infiltration in center pivot irrigation systems isn’t an accurate approach because the real conditions of infiltration under center pivot sprinklers is different from what happens in the double ring. In this study the infiltration parameters were evaluated in real conditions of a center pivot system. For this purpose a single ring...

Tumor hypoxia predicts poor outcomes across all cancers and has long been recognized as a critical source of resistance to both chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Despite the success of T cell immune checkpoint blockade in treating melanoma, aggressive adenocarcinomas of the prostate and pancreas are largely resistant to CTLA-4 and PD-1 antibody therapy in the mouse and in man. We find that hypoxic...

We investigated the relationship between gut health, visceral fat dysfunction and metabolic disorders in diet-induced obesity. C57BL/6J mice were fed control or high saturated fat diet (HFD). Circulating glucose, insulin and inflammatory markers were measured. Proximal colon barrier function was assessed by measuring transepithelial resistance and mRNA expression of tight-junction proteins. Gut...

Abstract In this paper, the TiC particle-reinforced high chromium cast iron matrix composite was prepared in situ by method of injection infiltration, and effect adding different volume fractions moderators on size reinforcing particles, fraction particles abrasive wear systematically studied. Performance impact. The research results show that obtained are uniformly distributed iron, interface ...

Rare-earth zirconates are proven to be very effective in restricting the CMAS attack against thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) by forming quick crystalline reaction products that seal porosity infiltration. The microstructural effects on efficacy of Electron Beam-Physical Vapor Deposition gadolinium zirconate (EB-PVD GZO) explored this study. Four distinct GZO microstructures were manufactured an...

In his seminal paper on the solution of infiltration equation, Philip (1969), https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-1-4831-9936-8.50010-6 proposed a gravity time, tgrav, to estimate practical convergence time and domain validity infinite series expansion, TSE, for describing transient state. The parameter tgrav refers point in where is dominated equally by capillarity as derived from first two (dominant...
