There is much agriculture and non-agricultural waste that contains pozzolanic material, which can be recommended to use as a partial replacement for Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC).One of the waste products from sugar industries, which possess pozzolanic properties, is Sugar Cane Bagasse Ash (SCBA).Because of the negative impact associated with ceme
Influences of TiO2 or Y2O3 dopants on pressure-assisted sintering of polycrystalline Al2O3 were investigated to control the microstructure of sintered Al2O3 as well as to improve the homogeneity of transparent Al2O3 samples.The transparent polycrystalline Al2O3 samples with and without the dopants were fabricated by two-step pulsed electric current
The present study was designed to investigate the suspected bacterial and/or fungal contamination in intravenous (IV) fluids due to malpractice of administration in Baghdad hospitals.The study was conducted during the period from May to August 2010.One hundred and thirteen intravenous fluid samples were collected from different wards in Baghdad tea
Human placenta-derived multipotent stem cells (PDMCs) resembling embryonic stem cells can differentiate into three germ layer cells, including ectodermal lineage cells, such as neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes.The favorable characteristics of noninvasive cell harvesting include fewer ethical, religious, and legal considerations as well as
Clinical mastitis is still an intractable problem for sheep breeding.The natural immunologic mechanisms of the mammary gland against infections are not yet understood.For a better understanding of the disease-associated proteins during clinical mastitis in meat sheep, we performed two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE)-based comparative proteomic a
