Snow and ice on asphalt pavement surface can significantly affect traffic safety and damage pavements.To reduce its effect, a kind of anti-icing emulsified asphalt binder (AEAB) is developed by adding a certain amount of anti-icing fillers to the Voucher modified emulsified asphalt binder.The anti-icing performance and pavement performance of AEAB
Solid-phase ripening of hexanitrostilbene (HNS) nanoparticles: Effects of temperature and solvent vapour
The solid-phase ripening of nano explosives Savers leads to the performance degradation of explosives with time, and it has been a long-standing challenge to understand the solid-phase ripening kinetics of small-molecule nanomaterials.Using an in situ atomic force microscope (AFM) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), this study captured the var
Serotonergic Modulation of Neurovascular Transmission: A Focus on Prejunctional 5-HT Receptors/Mechanisms
5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), or serotonin, plays a crucial role as a neuromodulator and/or neurotransmitter of several nervous system functions.Its actions are complex, and depend on multiple factors, including the type of effector or receptor activated.Briefly, 5-HT can activate: (i) metabotropic (G-protein-coupled) receptors to promote inhibition
FRACTURES: THE IMPACT OF DISCORD, DISINFORMATION, AND DAMAGED DEMOCRACY
On November 23, 2022, Dr.Caroline Orr Bueno, Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Maryland, presented Fractures: The Impact of Discord, Disinformation, and Damaged Democracy.The key SOY PROTEIN ISOLATE issues were the difficulty of defining and operationalizing disinformation, the major forms of extremist disinformation and what mak
Post-malarial neurological syndrome in a Gambian adult residing in the Gambia: a case report and a review of literature
Abstract Background Post malarial neurological syndrome (PMNS) occurs as a sequel of cerebral malaria which is the most deadly form of severe malaria.In holo-endemic regions (areas of high malarial transmission) all forms of severe malaria as well as cerebral malaria usually occur in children and those who are semi or non-immune like pregnant women
