First, the transformation of a continuous variable into a four-category variable results in the loss of a great deal of information; second, the RECIST criteria are evaluated at discrete time points, and all the dynamic characteristics of tumor growth, treatment-related shrinkage, and resistance development are ignored.
While they are using, the flood of androgens to the body from anabolic steroids also comes with a host of physical symptoms like testicular shrinkage and breast development in men, and deepened voice, reduced breast size, balding and facial hair growth in women, along with a number of reproductive problems.
This paper presents the multiple influences of internal curing (IC) and supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) on the shrinkage and microstructure development of reefs aggregate concrete (RAC).
This paper evaluates the effect of fly ash and slag proportions and the type of activating solution on shrinkage and strength development of alkali-activated binary fly ash-slag mixtures (mortar and paste), cured at room temperature.
While some of the products guarantee a rack of rippling muscles in five weeks or less, many of these compounds can actually stifle bone growth, lead to testicular shrinkage, liver tumors and development of male breasts, doctors warn.
Shrinkage strain development and distress can only be fully understood by knowing the moisture transport and free shrinkage properties of concrete.
In this work, early-age behavior of several binary alkali activated binders was assessed in terms of workability, chemical shrinkage, strength development and ultrasonic pulse velocity.
This work experimentally investigated the effects of curing temperatures (7, 15, 20 and 30 °C) on the setting time, strength development, shrinkage, and microstructure of alkali activated slag (AAS).
The separate quantification of the autogeneous and drying shrinkage development shows the effective contribution of each addition on microstructure modification and of the additional hydrates production.
