Mechanical properties, life-cycle assessment, and costs of alternative sustainable binders to stabilise recycled aggregates

Cement-stabilised subbases provide superior bearing capacity and durability to road pavements compared to unbound aggregate layers.However, stabilisation reduces the environmental benefits derived when recycled aggregates are used.This research compares alternative binders to Portland cement to highlight mechanical, environmental, and economic adva

Research Progress on the Toxicity and Detoxification of T-2 Toxin

T-2 toxin is a secondary metabolite produced by Fusarium spp., and belongs to the type A mycotoxins in the cephalosporins family.T-2 toxin is highly toxic, and it pollutes not only crops in the field,but also granary which leads the post-harvest lost of grain, furthermore, it causes huge damage to human and animal health.Therefore, it becomes world

HOXD-AS1 facilitates cell migration and invasion as an oncogenic lncRNA by competitively binding to miR-877-3p and upregulating FGF2 in human cervical cancer

Abstract Background Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are dysregulated in multiple human cancers and they are highly involved in tumor progression.Previous studies have identified the oncogenic lncRNA HOXD cluster antisense RNA 1 (HOXD-AS1) in human cancers, while its roles in cervical cancer (CC) remain unclear.Herein we intended to characterize the
