Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Shale Ceramsite Concrete: Experimental Study on the Influence Law due to Microencapsulated Phase-Change Material Content and Phase-Change Cycle... by Weihua Ding, Lin Zhu, Hu Li, Bin Hou, Fan Yang

“…When the MPCM content reaches 10%, the compressive and tensile strengths of MPCM-LWAC decreased, respectively, by 45.49% and 52.63% than the LWAC without MPCM. (2) Under heating and curing condition, the corresponding maximum specific heat capacity of LWAC with 10% MPCM is 328.35% and 249.50% higher than the LWAC without MPCM, respectively, and the average specific heat capacities increase 71.21% and 44.94%, respectively. (3) The melting enthalpy of MPCM-LWAC is slightly larger than the curing enthalpy, and the difference is more noticeable with the increase of MPCM content. …”

Cost-Effective Treatment of Hemihydrate Phosphogypsum and Phosphorous Slag as Cemented Paste Backfill Material for Underground Mine by Xilong Xue, Yuxian Ke, Qian Kang, Qinli Zhang, Chongchun Xiao, Fengjian He, Qing Yu

“…The results show that (1) the UCS of CPB increases with the increase of the HPG content and mass fraction, and the addition of 3% quicklime can eliminate CO2, H2S, and SO2 generated from the slurry of CPB-based HPG-PS; (2) the addition of 3% quicklime and 5% cement to the HPG-PS mixtures can offset the strength loss of CPB in the late curing stage; (3) the UCS of the recommended specimen reaches 1.15–3.32 MPa after curing from 7 to 28 days, with their slump values varying from 15 mm to 26 mm, and the bleeding rates between 0.87% and 1.15%, which can meet the technical requirements of mining methods; (4) the UCS of CPB is the result of the cohydration reaction of hemihydrate gypsum (HG) in HPG and active Al2O3 and SiO2 in PS; and (5) the leaching indexes meet Category IV of the Chinese Groundwater Quality Standard (DZ/T 0290-2015). …”

A Simple Matter of Life and Death—The Trials of Postnatal Beta-Cell Mass Regulation by Elena Tarabra, Stella Pelengaris, Michael Khan

“…Defective beta-cell numbers and/or function underlie essentially all major forms of diabetes and must be restored if diabetes is to be cured. Thus, the identification of the molecular regulators of beta-cell mass and a better understanding of the processes of beta-cell differentiation and proliferation may provide further insight for the development of new therapeutic targets for diabetes. …”
