Permeable concrete pavements are one of the most promising flood mitigation strategies. However, they have a number of limitations including low strength, low resistance to clogging and freeze/thaw degradation, limiting their application particularly in cold climates. Through extensive laboratory work, a novel high-strength clogging resistant permeable pavement (CRP) has been developed to address these shortcomings. In this paper, we investigated the freeze-thaw durability performance of a rang
The combination of natural fibers and renewable source matrices is an option to replace materials from non-renewable sources used in the manufacture of composites. One example is the use of pinus sawdust and sisal fibers together with a matrix of polyurethane (PU) foam derived from vegetable oils. For the application of composites in sectors such as building or furniture industry, one of the necessary processes is drilling, which allows assembling through different fastening systems. The aim of
ABSTRACT
Currently, the causes for Alzheimer Disease (AD) are thought to lie in the formation of abnormal protein deposits including tau tangles and Amyloid ß (Aβ) plaques in the human cortex. These proteins are believed to accumulate in the brain due to impaired waste removal resulting in neurodegeneration. In an alternative hypothesis we have recently proposed the existence of an aquaporin4 aqua channel (AQP4)-expressing tanycyte-derived canal network that li
Alzheimer disease and its clinical variants have characteristic spatial and temporal progression patterns of amyloid and tau driving symptomatology, but the distribution of microglia density, as measured by 18kDa translocator protein (TSPO) PET, is unknown. Baseline TSPO, amyloid, and tau PET as well as T1 MRI from the longitudinal imaging of microglial activation in different clinical variants of Alzheimer disease study were adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, APOE4 status, TSPO genotype, a
Amyloid (Aβ) and tau proteins are pathologic hallmarks of Alzheimer disease (AD). It is well known that there is spatial disparity between Aβ and tau protein deposition but, crossed hemispheric accumulation of these 2 proteins has not been reported. Here we report the case of a 76-year-old woman with typical AD who underwent amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) ([18F]-florbetaben) and tau PET scans ([18F]PI-2620), revealing crossed accumulation of Aβ and tau in the cerebral hemisphere. A n
Bio-based and earth materials are growingly used for the building envelopes because of their numerous benefits such as slight environmental impact, great hygrothermal performances, effective regulation of the perceived indoor air quality and human comfort. In such materials, the phenomenon of mass transfer is complex and has a great impact on the performance of building envelope. Therefore, it is important to identify and understand the hygrothermal phenomena to be able to simulate accurately th
Abstract
Cannabis is a short day (SD) plant whose inflorescences produce valuable medicines. By studying the mechanisms of photoperiodic flowering initiation in cannabis, we may develop new methods of improving cultivation. In SD plants, CONSTANS, which is enhanced by CDL gated proteins that are expressed during short days, acts as a bifunctional regulator of flower inhibition or genesis via FT (florigen). These genes are downstream of phytochrome, which may be activated by horti
