The objective of this study is to link the molecular structure of polycarboxylate-ether-type superplasticizers with the performance of cementitious systems in order to develop new products with enhanced properties, e.g. improved water reduction with a wide range of cements or a reduced retardation of cement hydration.
One measure for RNFL degradation is via its birefringence: The reduced RNFL thickness leads to reduced retardation between orthogonal polarization states, and by using PS-OCT this effect can be observed in depth resolved manner [ 23, 24].
When plants were spray-inoculated with cyanide, overexpressors of the synthetic cyanide degradation pathway showed less reduction in leaf pigment contents, lower induction of antioxidant enzymes, and reduced growth retardation compared to controls.
The correction of system polarization distortions yielded reduced phase retardation noise, and better estimates of the diattenuation and the relative optic axis orientation in weakly birefringent tissues.
However, increasing the curing temperature tends to reduce the retardation effect of phosphorous slag on the early hydration of cement.
Our findings demonstrate that the inactivation of FruR global regulator in recombinant E. coli alters metabolic gene expression and significantly reduces growth retardation from the burden of maintaining a plasmid.
Sumf1 KO mice have multiple abnormalities, including reduced viability, growth retardation, seizures, kyphosis, joint deformaties and lysosomal storage disease involving GAG accumulation.
Four to five weeks after cancer stem cell inoculation, the treated mice presented response retardation, reduced food intake, and emaciation, and they gradually exhibited cachexia.
We observed three key phenotypes in TGPAT mice as a consequence of this transgene insertion: embryonic growth retardation, reduced post-natal growth rate and impaired adult glucose homeostasis.
Noteworthy, treatment of Bmal1-/ mice with NAC cannot completely prevent premature aging; growth retardation, reduced hair regrowth, sarcopenia, and joint ossification were not affected by administration of NAC.
Disruption of exon XL ablates the XLαs transcript in mice with paternal inheritance of the disrupted XLαs allele and is associated with increased perinatal lethality, feeding problems, hypoglycaemia, growth retardation, reduced adiposity, increased basal metabolic rate, and increased sympathetic nervous system activity [Plagge et al., 2004; Xie et al., 2006].
