Moisture susceptibility, one of the key reasons of asphalt concrete (AC) pavement deterioration, lowers the durability of AC pavements.Analyzing and evaluating the combined effect of aggregate gradation and asphalt on moisture susceptibility is critical for avoiding and/or minimizing premature failures of AC mixtures; however, evidence of such comb

Astaxanthin (AST) is a product made from marine organisms that has been used as an anti-cancer supplement.It reduces pontin expression and induces apoptosis in Ceramic Hob SKBR3, a breast cancer cell line.Using Western blotting and qRT-PCR analyses, this study revealed that in the T47D and BT20 breast cancer cell lines, AST inhibits expression of p

Different indirect restorations to replace a single missing tooth in the posterior region are available in dentistry: traditional full-coverage fixed dental prostheses (FDPs), implant-supported crowns (ISC), and inlay-retained FDPs (IRFDP).Resin bonded FDPs represent a minimally invasive procedure; preexisting fillings can minimize tooth structure

Spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) is a fatal microorganism for a variety of cyprinid fish species, sparking off enormous economic losses in freshwater fish aquaculture.For alleviating losses, immersion vaccination is an extremely promising maneuver to prevent and curb on SVCV infection.In our previous research, we designed a modular immersion nan

Abstract Background Bilateral stroke following radiofrequency catheter ablation is an unusual complication and may result in bilateral altitudinal visual field defects.Bilateral altitudinal visual field defects usually result from prechiasmal pathology causing damage to both retinas or optic nerves and rarely from bilateral symmetric damage to the
