IMPROVEMENT OF POOR SUBGRADE SOILS USING CEMENT KILN DUST

Improvement of poor subgrade soils using cement kiln dust

Construction of pavements layers on subgrade with excellent to good properties reduces the thickness of the layers and consequently reduces the initial and maintenance cost of highways and vice versa.However, construction of pavements on poor subgrade is unavoidable due to several constrains.Improvement of subgrade properties using traditional addi

Diverting attention suppresses human amygdala responses to faces

Recent neuroimaging studies disagree as to whether the processing of emotion-laden visual stimuli is dependent upon the availability of attentional resources or entirely capacity-free.Two main factors have been proposed to be responsible for the discrepancies: the differences in the perceptual attentional demands of the tasks used to divert attenti

Characterization of a strain-specific CD-1 reference genome reveals potential inter- and intra-strain functional variability

Abstract Background CD-1 is an outbred mouse stock that is frequently used in toxicology, pharmacology, and fundamental biomedical research.Although inbred strains are typically better suited for such studies due to minimal genetic variability, outbred stocks confer practical advantages Volumizing over inbred strains, such as improved breeding perf

A rare case of brain abscess caused by Actinomyces meyeri

Abstract Background Brain abscesses are the rare and most severe form of actinomycosis, which usually manifests as abscesses of the occipital or parietal lobe due to direct expansion from an adjacent Socks area, the oral cavity.In the medical literature, there are only a few reported cases of brain abscess caused by Actinomyces meyeri.In this repor
