Effect of Nano-CaCO3 on the Mechanical Properties and Durability of Concrete Incorporating Fly Ash by Yanqun Sun, Peng Zhang, Weina Guo, Jiuwen Bao, Chengping Qu

“…The results showed that nano-CaCO3 contributed to increasing the compressive strength of fly ash concrete at the early ages, but its effect was quite limited at later ages. Furthermore, the scanning electron microscopy analysis revealed that the seeding effect, filling effect, and pozzolanic effect were the primary mechanisms for the improvement of concrete performance.…”

Staying up Late-An Independent Risk Factor for Stroke by Fanglue CHEN, Renming XIE, Yanru LI, Da LEI

“…The independent variables to be included were: hypertension, diabellitus mellitus, blood lipid disorder, cardiac diseases, smoking, drinking and staying up late, and the significance level of the independent variables was analyzed by multiple logistic regression analysis to determine the risk factors.Results:Differences in hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, smoking, drinking, staying up late, and so on were statistically significant between the two groups (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). Conditional logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension (OR=4.385), diabetes (OR=2.657), dyslipidemia (OR=2.727), smoking (OR=2.299), drinking (OR=2.528), staying up late (OR=1.732), atrial fibrillation or valvular heart disease (OR=9.070) were the risk factors for stroke.Conclusion:In addition to hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, heart disease, smoking, addicted to alcohol and other main risk factors, staying up late is another independent risk factor for stroke.…”
