Performance of Polyvinyl Alcohol and Polypropylene Fibers under Simulated Cementitious Composites Pore Solution by A. R. Krishnaraja, P. Kulanthaivel, P. Ramshankar, Vincent Herald Wilson, Ponnusamy Palanisamy, S. Vivek, V. Sampathkumar, P. Ganeshan, M. C. Sashikkumar, K. Raja, Senthil Kumaran Selvaraj, A. John Rajan, S. Jose

“…In FTIR analysis the first broad peak of both raw and SPS-dipped fibers are observed between 3000 cm−1 to 2800 cm−1 indicating that fibers have strong bond. In TGA analysis noted that the residual mass of raw fiber (77.19%) is higher than SPS-dipped fiber (52.33%) due to the formation of C-S-H gel formation. …”

Conditional Inactivation of HIF-1 Using Intrabodies by Arjan J. Groot, Eelke H. Gort, Elsken van der Wall, Paul J. van Diest, Marc Vooijs

“…HIF-1 activation is associated with tumor aggressiveness and poor clinical outcome and, therefore, may provide an attractive therapeutic target. Here we provide a novel approach for HIF-1 targeted therapy using single-domain llama antibodies directed against the HIF-1α oxygen dependent degradation domain which encompass the N-terminal transactivation domain. …”

Boolean Algebra of Soft Q-Sets in Soft Topological Spaces by Samer Al Ghour

“…We show that a soft subset K of a given soft topological space is a soft Q-set if and only if K is a soft symmetric difference between a soft clopen set and a soft nowhere dense set. And as a corollary, the class of soft Q-sets contains simultaneously the classes of soft clopen sets and soft nowhere dense sets. …”
