To test the hypothesis that the abundance of the apical urea transporter of the inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) is regulated in vivo by factors associated with altered water balance, immunoblots of rat inner medullary membrane fractions were probed with rabbit polyclonal antibodies against the renal urea transporter (RUT) gene product. In inner medullas of Brattleboro rats, which manifes...

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic metal that damages several tissues of animals and humans including the testis. The ameliorative effects quercetin (QUE), rutin (RUT), gallic acid (GAL) at 20 mg kg-1 body weight alone or in combination against testicular injury induced by Cd (24 weight) male Wistar rats were evaluated this study. Forty-two (42) randomly grouped into six (6) groups: (1) vehicle control gr...

A novel hybrid FRP-aluminum truss system has been employed in a two-rut modular bridge superstructure composed of twin inverted triangular trusses. The actual flexural behavior of a one-rut truss has been previously investigated under the on-axis loading test; however, the structural performance of the one-rut truss subjected to an off-axis load is still not fully understood. In this paper, a g...

Surface hot-in place recycling of asphalt mixtures has been conducted on Finnish roads for several years. The procedure is performed either in full-lane ('remix') or shorter widths ('rut-remix'). In a 2020–2021 project, different mixture types were subjected to both kinds recycling; reference mixtures, and modified with aramid fibres, FEP elastomer pellets, polymer, Storelastic rubber additive,...

Background and Aims: Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori) is the microorganism that infects nearly half of word's population. There are several invasive and non-invasive methods for diagnosis of infection. The main objective of this study was to evaluate antigen of H. Pylori in feces with H. pylori stool antigen (HpSA) test and comparison with rapid urease test (RUT) in the patients suspected to be ...


 The present work shows the effects of different agricultural wheels traffic on soil physical properties a Typic Argiudoll worked under no-tillage cropping system. Soil compaction produced by was quantified through these parameters: a) cone index, b) rut depth and c) water content at moment. Grain chaser, sprayer, harvester combine tractor equipped with commonly used in study area were te...
