THE EFFECTS OF MAXIMUM ATTAPULGITE AGGREGATE SIZE AND STEEL FIBERS CONTENT ON FRESH AND SOME MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF LIGHTWEIGHT SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE

The main objectives of this study were investigating the effects of the maximum size of coarse Attapulgite aggregate and micro steel fiber content on fresh and some mechanical properties of steel fibers reinforced lightweight self-compacting concrete (SFLWSCC).Two series of mixes were used depending on maximum aggregate size (12.5 and 19) mm, for e

Abstract Background Diabetes-associated cognitive impairment (DACI) poses a significant challenge to the self-management of diabetes, markedly elevating the risk of adverse complications.A burgeoning body of evidence implicates microglia as a central player in the pathogenesis of DACI.Methods We utilized proteomics to identify potential biomarkers

Growing evidence suggests that cerebral connectivity changes its network organization by altering modular topology in response to developmental and environmental experience.However, changes in cerebral connectivity associated with visual impairment due to early neurological injury are still not fully understood.Cerebral visual impairment (CVI) is a

Abstract We start with role-based trust management (RBTM) and address some of the folk rivet sweat challenges associated with using RBTM in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs).We then enhance RBTM with reputation systems (RSs), and propose a new hybrid trust management system (HTMS).In HTMS, the privilege level of an entity is determined not only by it
