This study will compare the effect of the insulin secretagogue glimepiride with empagliflozin, which has an insulin-independent mode of action, on the annualized slope of glycemic control (coefficient of durability) and biomarkers of insulin secretion over 4 years.
Exploratory endpoints include change from baseline in FPG, the proportion of patients achieving HbA1c <7%, effects on various biomarkers of beta-cell function including insulin, C-peptide, HOMA-B and proinsulin/insulin ratio, and the annualized slope of glycemic control (coefficient of durability).
Very good correlations were noted between the compressive strength and the selected durability indices, particularly chloride permeability and coefficient of chloride diffusion, irrespective of the mix design parameters.
A coefficient of strength loss was defined to quantify the effect of freezing thawing damage and water immersion aging on durability of designed mixes.
Migration and diffusion coefficients obtained from chloride durability tests revealed the high influence of nanosilica on microstructural development also NaOH activated mortars showed better performance against chloride penetration.
Extreme oxidative TBC durability is achieved because the thermal expansion coefficient of Ti2AlC is only slightly different than those for α-Al2O3 and YSZ.
The results and discussion focus on the mechanical properties, compressive strength anisotropy according to the compaction direction, and durability tests such as abrasion and absorption coefficients.
For the durability design of RAC, determining its chloride diffusion coefficient is essential.
