Quadriceps Muscle Strength and Body Mass Index Are Associated With Estimates of Physical Activity Postheart Transplantation [PDF]

Transplantation, 2019
Background. Although exercise capacity improves postheart transplantation (HTx), it remains unclear if the level of physical activity (PA) shows similar improvement. The purpose of this study was to (1) describe PA levels and (2) identify factors which may be associated with levels of PA post-HTx.

Inconsistencies in the pozzolanic strength activity index (SAI) for silica fume according to EN and ASTM [PDF]

Materials and Structures, 2014
New supplementary cementitious materials claimed to possess pozzolan properties emerge frequently. This development is driven both by economic and environmental pressures. Properties of new materials are compared with those of materials already well known, such as silica fume. Several test methods are standardized for making such comparisons, regulated
