超高強度繊維補強コンクリート (UFC) は, 200MPaの圧縮強度と鋼繊維補強による優れた靱性を有する新材料である. UFCを複合PC構造のウエブ部に, プレキャストトラス部材として適用することで構造全体の軽量化を目指した. 本研究では接合方法, UFCプレキャストトラスの断面積をパラメータとして複合PCはりの曲げせん断載荷実験を行い, 力学的特性を検討した. また, この実験を対象に非線形FEM解析を実施し, 解析的に検討を加えると共に, 非線形FEM解析がこの新形式複合PC構造の力学挙動を良好な精度で予測できることを示した. また, 同等の耐荷力を有するI型断面のPCはりと比較して, 軽量化の達成度を評価した.

Urine particle flow cytometers (UFC) have improved count precision and accuracy compared to visual microscopy and offer significant labor saving. The absence of an internationally recognized reference measurement procedure, however, is a serious drawback to their validation. Chamber counting by phase contrast microscopy of supravitally-stained uncentrifuged urine is considered the best candidate for reference. The UF-100 (Sysmex Corporation, Japan) identifies RBC, WBC, squamous epithelial cells, transitional ...

This article presents an investigation into natural convection in trapezoidal cavities. It examines a cavity whose floor and upper inclined walls are both adiabatic, while the vertical walls are isothermal. For these isothermal walls, we consider two thermal boundary conditions. Under the first condition, the short wall on the left side is heated as the tall one on the right side is cooled. The second condition is the reverse of the first—the short wall is cooled as the tall one is heated. Considering ...

The current study describes that nor-β-lapachone and its arylamino derivatives, iodinated and methylated naphthoquinones and nor-β-lapachone-based 1,2,3-triazoles exhibited pronounced cytotoxic effects against four human leukemia cell lines (HL-60, K562, Molt-4 and Jurkat). Nor-β-lapachones arylamino substituted with potent activity were identified, revealing themselves as potential prototypes against tumor cell lines. Moreover, cells treated with these compounds showed DNA damage according to the ...

Arthropod venoms are potential sources of neuroactive substances, providing new tools for the design of drugs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Dinoponera quadriceps venom (DqV) on seizure models in mice induced by pentylenetetrazole (PTZ), pilocarpine, and strychnine. In the PTZ model, intraperitoneal treatment with DqV (0.5 mg/kg) increased the time until the first seizure and the percentage of survival (155.4 ± 27.7 s/12.5%, p < 0.05) compared to the control group (79.75 ± 3.97 s/0%), ...
