The Preparation of C-S-H Powder Seeds and Their Effect on the Early Hydration Performance of Cement Paste by Chunlong Huang, Yiren Wang, Zhongyuan Wei, Yong Yu

“…When the dosage of nucleating agents reached 2%, the cement hydration process bypassed the phase boundary reaction control stage and transitioned directly from the crystallization nucleation and crystal growth control process to the diffusion-controlled phase. Although the influence of powder seeds on the enhancement of the early-stage strength of mortar was slightly lower than that of the suspension, the powder was beneficial to its storage and transportation. …”

Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Catharanthus roseus Flower Extracts and the Determination of Their Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, and Photocatalytic Activity by Mathivathani Kandiah, Kavishadhi N. Chandrasekaran

“…The synthesized AgNPs showed significant antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative Escherichia coli compared to Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus assayed using the agar well diffusion method. Furthermore, the photocatalytic activity of the synthesized purple flower AgNPs at two different concentrations 5000 ppm and 333 ppm was analyzed by the removal of methyl orange dye from an aqueous solution under sunlight irradiation in the presence of NaBH4 catalyst. …”

Parkinsonism associated with prolonged unresponsive wakefulness syndrome after blunt head injury: a clinico-pathological study by Kurt A. Jellinger

“…Neuropathology revealed in most cases supratentorial traumatic lesions such as contusions, cerebral hemorrhages and diffuse white matter lesions. In addition to lesions in the basal ganglia and hippocampus, all cases displayed older lesions in the dorsolateral or lateral parts of the pons and in lower midbrain with various involvement of substantia nigra. …”

Antibiogram Pattern of Uropathogenic Escherichia Coli in Baghdad Province, Iraq by Nuha Abd Al.rheem Saad, Raghad Hassan Hussein, Nadia M.M. Al-Shakir

“…Following diagnosis, 10 different types of antibiotics were tested for their sensitivity on E. coli strains using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Results: Out of 264 urine samples, 175 (66%) contained Gram-negative bacteria, E. coli was the most common uropathogenic isolate (38%), followed by K. pneumoniae (16%) and Streptococcus epidermidis (12%). …”
