The straight-run Cold Lake asphalt binder showed the least amount of change, and this can likely explain its superior field performance. High styrenebutadiene (SB and SBS) polymer loadings, the presence of polyphosphoric acid (PPA), or re-refined engine oil bottoms (REOB) all resulted in ...
In addition, the previously published method22 uses a gentler clearing spin at the end, which results in an increase in the amount of filaments in the final sample. In brief, tissues were homogenized in 20 vol (w/v) extraction buffer consisting of 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 0.8...
In litter cages, the amount of time spent on intensive activity (running) increased at the expense of rest (passivity), which may indicate that litter creates better conditions for movement. Moreover, it was found that chinchillas prefer a quiet, inner corner of the cage for a resting place...
“Notable amongst these could be SMRs which, by being smaller and quicker to build and more flexible on location, could be the ideal solution for tech companies whose data centers will require large amounts of power and who are increasingly investing in nuclear globally through Power Purchase Ag...
but for him to be peeking over for that amount of time, it seemed like it wasn’t just a glance and re-adjusting your eyes to get back on the pitcher.” When asked about the situation following the game, Judge played coy. “I saw a lot o...
(ADRC) have no shared standard protocol for the exact position for hippocampal sections to be harvested along the anterior–posterior axis. Hippocampal anatomy, structure, and function have a considerable amount of variance along the anterior–posterior axis, and research has found differential age-...
This five-level grading system analyzes the degree of muscle fat infiltration where grade 0 is normal muscle without fat infiltration, grade 1 demonstrates some fatty streaks, grade 2 shows less fat than muscle, grade 3 has equal amounts of fat and muscle, and grade 4 more fat than muscle ...
National forest inventory (NFI) data provides massive amounts of ground-based measurements on forest growth, including stock volume, diameter at breast height (DBH), tree height, average age, depression and dominant tree species (Tang et al., 2018). NFI data have been used to estimate forest...
Selling out a 17,505-person arena in the middle of the week is no easy feat, even if the Pixies, who ripped through their own 22-song set in the same amount of time, were on the bill. But there’s a reason why Weezer have been performing second on this tour, and it’s simply ...
Because of the large amounts of energy used to produce aluminum siding and increasing raw materials costs, aluminum siding declined in popularity in the U.S. in the 1970's. Aluminum siding, produced from aluminum coil stock and painted in a wide variety of colors, provided a durable exterior...
