Investigation of the Effect of Larestan's Pipeline Water on the Mechanical Properties of Concretes Containing Granite Aggregates
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, the compressive strength of the concretes made by the pipeline water of Larestan has been investigated. Although the used water for the concretes must be clean, standard, and generally drinkable water, in ...
Ordered Sp -metric spaces and some fixed point theorems for contractive mappings with application to periodic boundary value problems
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2019 , Article)
In this paper, we introduce the structure of Sp-metric spaces as a generalization of both S-metric and Sb-metric spaces. Also, we present the notions of S?-contractive mappings in the setup of ordered Sp-metric spaces and ...
Microdeletion in a FAAH pseudogene identified in a patient with high anandamide concentrations and pain insensitivity
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
The study of rare families with inherited pain insensitivity can identify new human-validated analgesic drug targets. Here, a 66-yr-old female presented with nil requirement for postoperative analgesia after a normally ...
Interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 evoke scratching behaviour in mice
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Persistent and relapsing itch commonly manifests in inflammatory skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis (AD). AD pathogenesis is driven by interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13). Dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody ...
Oxidative degradation of tannic acid in aqueous solution by UV/S2O8 2- and UV/H2O2/Fe2+ processes: A comparative study
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Tannic acid (TA) is a major pollutant present in the wastewater generated from vegetable tanneries process and food processing. This work studied TA degradation by two advanced oxidation processes (APOs): UV irradiation ...
Palmprint identification using an ensemble of sparse representations
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Among various palmprint identification methods proposed in the literature, sparse representation for classification (SRC) is very attractive offering high accuracy. Although SRC has good discriminative ability, its performance ...
Administration error of benzathine penicillin G in a Saudi male
(
Wiley-Blackwell
, 2019 , Article)
Background
Benzathine penicillin G is indicated for intramuscular (IM ) administration. There have been reports of unintentional intravenous (IV ) administration, which has been associated with cardiorespiratory arrest ...
Self-healing performance of multifunctional polymeric smart coatings
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Multifunctional nanocomposite coatings were synthesized by reinforcing a polymeric matrix with halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) loaded with corrosion inhibitor (NaNO3) and urea formaldehyde microcapsules (UFMCs) encapsulated ...
Vertical silicon nanowire-based racetrack resonator optical sensor
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
We propose a highly sensitive optical sensor which is built from silicon nanowires. The silicon nanowires are arranged to form a ring resonator. The silicon nanowires cladding and voids are filled with the analyte. The ...
Modeling pedestrian gap acceptance behavior at a six-lane urban road
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
The illegal crossing behavior of pedestrians at unmarked mid-block sections is unsafe, risky, and increase the potential of severe conflicts and crashes, especially in the case of multilane roads. This paper investigates ...
