GPC as a promising material, started gaining momentous attention from the researchers and construction specialists because of its advantages in using by-products from agriculture and industries to replace cement thereby reducing greenhouse gas emission.Workability and durability tests were carried out, so as ascertain the efficiency of the rice hus

BackgroundFood insecurity, limited access to adequate food, in adulthood is associated with poor health outcomes that suggest a pattern of accelerated aging.However, little is known about factors that impact food insecurity in midlife which in turn could help to identify potential pathways of accelerated aging.MethodsLow-income adults (n = 17,866;

The morphing aircraft is a promising solution to achieve an optimal flight performance according to various mission scenarios.To apply the morphing technology in hypersonic vehicles, a variable-sweep-wing morphing waverider was proposed in Shape Sorter previous studies, and its aerodynamic performance and dynamic model were presented.In this paper,

BackgroundRecent epidemiological and experimental data suggest a negative influence of shortened or disturbed night sleep on glucose tolerance.Due to the high prevalence of sleep disorders this might be a major health issue.However, no comparative studies of carbohydrate metabolism have been conducted in clinical sleep disorders.Methodology/princip

In this paper, the partial replacement of volcanic pumice powder (VPP) was investigated for use as a supplementary cementitious material.High-strength concrete (HSC) was prepared using two sets of VPP (10% and 20%) incorporated with three sets of polypropylene fiber (PF) (0.20%, 0.35%, and 0.50%) to produce different concrete mixtures.Several tests
