Study on the mechanical properties and microstructure of PVA fiber-reinforced waste glass powder concrete by Yi Zhao, Siwen Chen, Shuisheng Yu, Shuai Wu, Yijie Bao

“…The –C–OH groups in PVA fibers form hydrogen bonds with –OH groups in cement hydration products, aided by the non-circular cross section and molecular structure of the fibers, enhancing adhesion at the cement matrix interface. An appropriate amount of PVA fibers increases the Ca/Si ratio in waste glass powder concrete, reducing C–S–H production at the interfacial bond and thereby improving the internal structure of the concrete. …”

The steady-state level of plasma membrane ceramide is regulated by neutral sphingomyelinase 2 by Anne G. Ostermeyer-Fay, Abhay Kanodia, Ranjana Pathak, Maria Jose Hernandez-Corbacho, Aarnoud C. van der Spoel, Yusuf A. Hannun, Daniel Canals

“…One of these pools of ceramide resides in the plasma membrane, and several works have suggested that an increase in plasma membrane ceramide (PMCer) in response to stimulation leads to cell death and modulates cell adhesion and migration. However, there is a limitation in studying PMCer content in this location primarily due to the inability to quantify its mass. …”
