Laboratory and Field Evaluation of Modified Asphalt Binders and Mixes for Alaskan Pavements [PDF]
In order to properly characterize modified asphalt binders and mixes for Alaskan pavements, this study evaluated properties of 13 asphalt binders typically used in Alaska from three different suppliers, and 10 hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures which were ...

[18F]Fluorodeprenyl‐D2 PET as a Tool to Monitor Disease Activity in GAD65‐Ab Autoimmune Encephalitis
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate [18F]fluorodeprenyl‐D2 ([18F]F‐DED) positron‐emission tomography (PET) imaging as a biomarker of disease activity in autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) associated with glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) antibodies. Methods [18F]F‐DED PET was performed in 25 GAD65‐AIE patients and 8 controls using dynamic (0–60 min) and ...

Creep behavior of tungsten fiber reinforced niobium metal matrix composites [PDF]
Tungsten fiber reinforced niobium metal matrix composites were evaluated for use in space nuclear power conversion systems. The composite panels were fabricated using the arc-spray monotape technique at the NASA Lewis Research Center.

Assessment of creep and compressive strength: bulk-fill versus conventional composites
Backgrounds Creep of composite restorations is affected by their exposure to oral fluids. This study sought to assess the effect of media (water and 75% ethanol) and time storage on creep and compressive strength of bulk-fill and conventional composites.

Predicting the time-temperature dependent axial failure of B/A1 composites [PDF]
Experimental and theoretical studies were conducted in order to understand and predict the effects of time, temperature, and stress on the axial failure modes of boron fibers and B/A1 composites. Due to the anelastic nature of boron fiber deformation, it

Constitutive modelling of creep-ageing behaviour of peak-aged aluminium alloy 7050 [PDF]
The creep-ageing behaviour of a peak-aged aluminium alloy 7050 was investigated under different stress levels at 174 ∘C for up to 8 h. Interrupted creep tests and tensile tests were performed to investigate the influences of creep-ageing time and applied

Objective We evaluated the role of 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D), prednisone, and other risk factors for bone mineral density (BMD) loss and osteoporosis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods We calculated the association between 25(OH)D levels and other potential risk factors and BMD measures (spine T scores) and osteoporosis (defined as a T ...

Effect of initial tempers on mechanical properties of creep-aged AA2050
The evolution of mechanical properties of a third-generation Al–Cu–Li alloy, AA2050, with different initial tempers (as-quenched WQ, naturally aged T34 and peak-aged T84) during creep-ageing has been investigated in this study.
