Compressive strength prediction models for concrete containing nano materials and exposed to elevated temperatures by Hany A. Dahish, Ahmed D. Almutairi

“…The addition of nanomaterials to concrete is widely employed in modern construction to improve its durability and mechanical properties. In the present study, two machine learning algorithms, random forest (RF) and M5P decision tree, and linear regression were used for developing prediction models for the compressive strength (CS) of concrete containing nano alumina (NA) and carbon nanotubes (CNT) and being subjected to elevated temperatures. …”

COVID-19 encephalopathy with severe neurological symptoms: a clinical case presentation with literature review by G. Baranauskienė, N. Tutlienė, G. Kaubrys

“…However, the most likely etiology of encephalopathy is multifactorial: systemic disease response, inflammation, coagulopathy, direct viral neuroinvasion, endoartheritis, and possibly post-infectious autoimmune mechanisms. For patients with suspected changes in the level of consciousness due to coronavirus infection, it is recommended to perform a thorough examination of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), head imaging with a preference for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and electroencephalography (EEG) It is worth noting that blood or imaging tests often do not show specific changes in patients with encephalopathy. …”
