Several key factors such as water binder ratio, dosage of water reducing agent, sand cement ratio and volume fraction of steel fiber affecting preparation and properties of reactive powder concrete are analyzed. The test results show that water binder ratio is one of the most important factors affecting...

The widespread use of chitosan waste shrimp extract to reduce the toxicity of certain heavy metals can reduce the escalation of the potential threat of environmental pollution. First) shrimp shell processing is intensively done so it is not wasted freely into the environment, second) toxicity of heavy...

With the deepening of research, microporous coordination polymers, as a new type of molecule based materials, show potential application prospect. They have pore structure diversifications, high specific surface areas, unsaturated coordination sites and coordination mode diversifications, and their performance...

Aim: To validate strategies to guide nurse educators to strengthen the clinical accompaniment of nursing students through the practice of caring presence. Background: Good-quality nursing education and practice involve a balance of knowledge and a holistic-caring approach to students. Quality nursing...

Footstep energy harvesting obtains energy from walking hu- mans and transforms it into electricity through mechanisms like piezo- electric materials or electromechanical systems. Footstep power genera- tion technology can be applied in high-traffic areas like train stations, airports, and shopping centers...

Road icing affects the efficiency of road transportation and the safety of life and property. Salt anti icing pavement technology, which actively solves this problem, is widely used, but there is little research on long-term evaluation. To overcome the problem of effective ingredient loss in salt storage...

Ferrites, which are ceramic compounds or mixed crystals of different metallic oxides (Fe2O3) and are thought to be made up of cations occupying the spaces between oxygen ions in a close-packed structure. They are classified into two main types based on their magnetic properties: hard ferrites, that possesses...

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a deregulated host response to infection, and is the most common cause of death in the intensive care unit. Although the pathogenesis of sepsis has made substantial progress, the current clinical treatment of sepsis is basically symptomatic treatment,...

With modulus (KH = 0.89, SM = 2.42, IM = 1.70), substituting the sludge for the shale in the calculation of the cement burden, we studied the influence of different amount of sludge on the cement raw meal sintering, mineral composition, compression strength and the leaching value of heavy metal element....

In view of the practical situation, sometimes there is side error of the comb capacitor through superposition of the deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) process, and these manufacturing tolerances can lead to the movable comb fingers offset.
