This study was initiated to evaluate the performance of asphalt binders Plunger Cutters and mixtures incorporating linear low-density polyethylene- calcium carbonate (LLDPE-CaCO3) pellet, either with or without titanate coupling agent.The detailed manufacturing process of modifier pellets was displayed.The coupling agent was used to enhance the cro
Efforts to obtain non-intrusive measurement of deformations and spatial flow within soil mass prior to the advent of transparent soils have perceptible limitations.The transparent soil is a two-phase medium composed Tube Notcher of both the synthetic aggregate and fluid components of identical refractive indices aiming at attaining transparency of
DENV belongs to the Flaviviridae family and possesses a single-stranded RNA genome of positive polarity.DENV infection manifests in mild subclinical forms or severe forms that may be dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) or dengue shock syndrome (DSS).Despite a lot of effort worldwide, the exact mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of severe DENV infecti
Introduction: Tracheostomy is commonly performed for upper airway obstruction, prolonged mechanical ventilation and tracheo-bronchial toileting.Pediatric tracheostomy differs from adult tracheostomy in terms of surgical procedure, post-operative care and recovery.The tracheostomized patients may either be decannulated, discharged with tube-in-situ
Bus-bridging evacuation services can significantly enhance metro resilience during operational disruptions.A resilience-based optimization model was proposed to generate a bus bridging and dispatching plan.The objective of the model is to maximize the resilience index of evacuated passengers while meeting pre-established Tube Notcher restrictions o
