The Effect of Salt Solutions and Absorption Cycles in the Capillary and Drying Coefficient of Red Brick Samples with Different Joints by A. S. Guimarães, J. M. P. Q. Delgado, V. P. de Freitas, A. P. Albuquerque

“…Four different first-order kinetics models, available in the literature, were adjusted to describe the drying process and the results point that the Page and Logarithmic models allow the best fit. The apparent molecular diffusion coefficient for solid red brick samples saturated with different solutions and joints was also estimated.…”

Extensive and every day risk in the Bolivian Chaco: Sources of crisis and disaster by Lilian R. Reyes Pando, Allan Lavell

“…It also reveals how any attempt to deal with the successive, apparently sequenced categories of risk, using independent mechanisms and institutional frameworks is doomed to failure due to the relations that exist between primary, contingent and future risk and the disaster risk management and development mechanisms required to reduce them.…”

Does insulin resistance contribute to the ‘unbrowning’ of brown adipose tissue? by Orien L. Tulp

“…However, when we turn to the findings in lab rats we may discern the real culprit in the patients’ apparent symptomology. Patients often experiment with any number of a broad assortment of dietary and exercise approaches to resolve their body weight and other issues with little success. …”

Liver metastases in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours – treatment methods by Paweł Gut

“…Pre-treatment staging often includes the biochemical assessment of serologic markers such as serotonin, insulin, vasoactive intestinal peptide, and chromogranin, even in patients without clinically apparent hormonal excess. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a technique that involves the use of thermal energy to induce coagulation necrosis, thereby destroying tumour cells. …”

Reproductive Organ of Blow Fly, Chrysomya megacephala (Diptera: Calliphoridae): Ultrastructural of Testis by Kabkaew L. Sukontason, Tarinee Chaiwong, Urai Chaisri, Hiromu Kurahashi, Michelle Sanford, Kom Sukontason

“…Regarding the 7-day-old males, development of spermatozoa is apparent, displaying nucleus, centriolar adjunct, axoneme, and mitochondrial derivatives, with the 9 + 9 + 2 microtubule pattern of axoneme.…”

Transient Flow Theory of Multiple-Fractured Horizontal Wells with Complex Mechanisms in Shale Gas Reservoirs by Dianfa Du, Genkai Zhang, Yanwu Zhao, Xiaofei Sun, Bin Zhang

“…The results show that the Knudsen diffusion and slippage coefficients mainly affect the apparent permeability of the matrix pores. The more the Knudsen diffusion and slippage coefficients are, the earlier the turbulent flow occurs and the higher the gas production is.…”

Viscosity and structure evolution of the SiO2-MgO-FeO-CaO-Al2O3 slag in ferronickel smelting process from laterite by Lv X.M., Lv X.W., Wang L.W., Qiu J., Liu M.

“…The FT-IR and Raman spectra show that the fractions of the complex polymerization structure decrease significantly with the increase of FeO content and slag basicity, resulting in the decrease of apparent viscosity.…”

Bioremediation of Oil-Contaminated Soils of the Zhanazhol Deposit from West Kazakhstan by Pseudomonas mendocina H-3 by Yerlan Doszhanov, Aitugan Sabitov, Zulkhair Mansurov, Gulzhan Kaiyrmanova

“…The lower efficiency of bioremediation with cell cultures in field experiments (on average, 61%) compared with laboratory model studies (reduction of oil content to 79%) is apparently associated with climatic conditions.…”

Zygonic Theory: Introduction, Scope, and Prospects by Adam Ockelford

“…Finally, zygonic theory prospectively offers an epistemological link between the sister (though sometimes apparently incompatible) disciplines of music psychology and music theory – an avenue that is explored briefly in conclusion.…”

Freak Shows on the Page: Defining ‘criminanimality’ in Newgate Fiction (1830-1847) by Hubert Malfray

“…Through Newgate texts and engravings, the animal metaphor first appears as an ideological tool used to deprecate vile human beings who disrupted the law, linking their misdeeds to their apparent savagery. Such perception is necessarily stereotypical and schematic, reducing animality and criminality to sheer instinctualism. …”

Why the Real Atmosphere Has More Energy than Climate Models: Implications for Ground-Based Telescopes by Adrian F. Tuck

Nomadic Memory in Aleksandar Hemon’s Memoirs by Rubén Peinado-Abarrio

“…Opposing the static authority of the past and any fixed notion of the self, Hemon understands the past as a cultural practice deposited in bodies and rituals, as a home apparently beyond reach to which the migrant reconnects through the resources of the imagination.…”

Les Portraits nationaux à l’Exposition universelle parisienne de 1878 : un projet de galerie historique by Stéphane Paccoud

“…Unfortunately, the event suffered one problem after another, and had only limited visibility for a month. However, this apparent failure was only partial, as the event was a landmark in the history of exhibitions in several respects, and was accompanied by calls for the creation of a permanent museum dedicated to historical portraits.…”

Le Flaubert de Charles Du Bos by Jacques Neefs

“…Charles Du Bos devoted an unflagging attention to Flaubert’s work (except for Bouvard et Pécuchet, which, apparently, according to him did not exist), to Madame Bovary and in particular L’Éducation sentimentale. …”

Effects of GO/Al2O3 and Al2O3 Nanoparticles on Concrete Durability against High Temperature, Freeze-Thaw Cycles, and Acidic Environments by Mehdi Saliani, Amin Honarbakhsh, Rahele Zhiani, Seyed Mojtaba Movahedifar, Alireza Motavalizadehkakhky

“…The results show that the samples containing GO/Al2O3 nanoparticles had the least weight loss in freeze-thaw cycles as well as better resistance against acidic environment and the lowest apparent changes at high temperature compared to the samples containing nano-Al2O3 and the samples without nanoparticles. …”

Preeclampsia in 2018: Revisiting Concepts, Physiopathology, and Prediction by J. Mayrink, M. L. Costa, J. G. Cecatti

“…The complexity of its etiology is a challenge and requires further studies for its full understanding. Apparently, poor adaptation of the maternal organism to the conceptus, marked by the nonoccurrence of changes in the uterine spiral arteries, determines a series of systemic repercussions that compound the various forms of preeclampsia presentation. …”

Fracture-Safe and Fatigue-Reliable Structures by M. N. James

“…Learning from history is, by popular account, something at which human beings are not particularly good; George Bernard Shaw having stated that “we learn from history that we learn nothing from history”, while the Spanish philosopher George Santayana apparently claimed that “those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it”.1 This is certainly true in the field of structural integrity where, some 150 years after the first full-scale structural fatigue tests were carried out, fracture-safe and fatigue-reliable design can be achieved to a statistical probability in complex and sophisticated structures, such as aircraft. …”
