    Fibers have been considered an effective material that was used to improve the concrete's weak properties, namely its tensile strength, ductility, and crack resistance. Thus, the current study highlights two major objective, the former is the fibers shapes and types on the mechanical properties of the fresh and hardened concrete while the latter explores the impact of the fiber contents on the concrete mechanical properties developments. To achieve these targets six types of fibers (five of them made of steel and the last was polyolefin fibers) with various shapes are utilized. The tests were carried out to investigate the fibers shape and material contribution in the concrete mix properties improvement. The samples were subjected to destructive and non-destructive tests such as workability, compression, bending, and splitting. The non-destructive tests include ultrasonic pulse velocities and the Schmidt Hammer test. Three kinds of fibers (two of steel and one of polyolefin fiber) are used with variable content ratios of 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, and 1.5% to study the fiber content effect. Generally, the workability of fresh concrete has a reverse relationship with fiber presence and fiber content ratios. The compressive capacity, splitting and flexural strength has a direct proportion with fibers contents. The hooked steel fibers appeared the best results in terms of shape comparison. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-11-07 Full Text: PD

    Systems impact of zinc chelation by the epipolythiodioxopiperazine dithiol gliotoxin in Aspergillus fumigatus: a new direction in natural product functionality.

    Get PDF
    The non-ribosomal peptide gliotoxin, which autoinduces its own biosynthesis, has potent anti-fungal activity, especially in the combined absence of the gliotoxin oxidoreductase GliT and bis-thiomethyltransferase GtmA. Dithiol gliotoxin (DTG) is a substrate for both of these enzymes. Herein we demonstrate that DTG chelates Zn2+ (m/z 424.94), rapidly chelates Zn2+ from Zn(4-(2-pyridylazo)-resorcinol) (Zn(PAR)2) and also inhibits a Zn2+-dependent alkaline phosphatase (AP). Zn2+ addition rescues AP function following DTG-associated inhibition, and pre-incubation of DTG with Zn2+ completely protects AP activity. Zn2+ (1-50 μM) also significantly relieves the potent gliotoxin-mediated inhibition of Aspergillus fumigatus ΔgliT::ΔgtmA (p < 0.05), which infers in vivo dithiol gliotoxin-mediated sequestration of free Zn2+ or chelation from intracellular metalloenzymes as inhibitory mechanisms. Quantitative proteomic analysis revealed that excess Zn2+ alters the effect of gliotoxin on A. fumigatus ΔgliT, with differential abundance of secondary metabolism-associated proteins in the combinatorial condition. GtmA abundance increased 18.8 fold upon co-addition of gliotoxin and Zn2+ compared to gliotoxin alone, possibly to compensate for disruption to GtmA activity, as seen in in vitro assays. Furthermore, DTG effected significant in vitro aggregation of a number of protein classes, including Zn2+-dependent enzymes, while proteins were protected from aggregation by pre-incubating DTG with Zn2+. We conclude that DTG can act in vivo as a Zn2+ chelator, which can significantly impede A. fumigatus growth in the absence of GliT and GtmA

    Dental caries is one of an important common human infectious disease that can lead to loss of tooth structure, it is occur due to the metabolic activation of the plague microorganisms especially Streptococcus mutans bacterium. Eighteen samples from saliva and dental plaque were collected from patients with dental caries active at ages from (7-25) years from Specialized dental hospital and dental clinics at Thi-Qar province during the period from November to December 2016.Thirty-three isolates belong Streptococcus mutans were identified by cultural methods, biochemical tests and Api 20 Strep. system, while  twenty-eight  isolates identified by using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique and sequencing of 16S rRNA gene with 507 bp, whereas by using  16S rRNA gene  the result confirmed that these isolates were belong to Streptococcus mutans. The aim of study is Isolation and identification of Streptococcus mutans bacterium from the dental caries and dental biofilm patients at Thi-Qar province by of 16S rRNA gene

    Urban Growth Prediction Using Cellular Automata Markov: A Case Study Using Sulaimaniya City in the Kurdistan Region of North Iraq

    Get PDF
    Many cities in the Kurdistan Region have witnessed a rapid change in land use during the last two decades. Geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing have been broadly utilized to monitor and detect urban growth prediction. In this paper, three Landsat TM 5 and one Landsat 8 of Sulaimaniya city were used to identify and develop an urban growth map for 1991, 1998, 2006 and 2014. A supervised classification approach was applied; in order to predict urban growth, the Markov chain and CA-Markov models were used. The result demonstrates that validation of CA-Markov to forecast 2006 land cover map is ineffective in reasonably predicting land coverage for this time period; however this model had significant validation for the year 2014 and also has a good forecast power for 2024.

    DEVELOPMENT OF THE CROSS-COUPLING PHENOMENA OF MIMO FLIGHT SYSTEM USING FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLER

    Get PDF
    This paper describes the performance of a simplified dynamic controller with fuzzy logic controllers. The six degree-of-freedom simulation study focuses on the results with and without fuzzy logic controller. One area of interest is the performance of a simulated the cross coupling effect. The controller uses explicit models to produce the desired commands. In this paper the effect of the cross-coupling between channels on the overall performance of the flight system has been considered. Two fuzzy controllers have been added to the system to improve its performance. This paper presents the development and simulation of a modified system is presented using MatLab Simulink. Also it focuses on the use of fuzzy logic controller in model-based control of multiple-input, multiple-output systems. Here, we address the question of how the overall performance of the system is affected when both fuzzy logic controllers are applied at the same time. Simulation and experimental results of a flight system , as an illustrative example, are presented

    Cten Is Targeted by Kras Signalling to Regulate Cell Motility in the Colon and Pancreas

    CTEN/TNS4 is an oncogene in colorectal cancer (CRC) which enhances cell motility although the mechanism of Cten regulation is unknown. We found an association between high Cten expression and KRAS/BRAF mutation in a series of CRC cell lines (p = 0.03) and hypothesised that Kras may regulate Cten. To test this, Kras was knocked-down (using small interfering (si)RNA) in CRC cell lines SW620 and DLD1 (high Cten expressors and mutant for KRAS). In each cell line, Kras knockdown was mirrored by down-regulation of Cten Since Kras signals through Braf, we tested the effect of Kras knockdown in CRC cell line Colo205 (which shows high Cten expression and is mutant for BRAF but wild type for KRAS). Cten levels were unaffected by Kras knockdown whilst Braf knockdown resulted in reduced Cten expression suggesting that Kras signals via Braf to regulate Cten. Quantification of Cten mRNA and protein analysis following proteasome inhibition suggested that regulation was of Cten transcription. Kras knockdown inhibited cell motility. To test whether this could be mediated through Cten, SW620 cells were co-transfected with Kras specific siRNAs and a Cten expression vector. Restoring Cten expression was able to restore cell motility despite Kras knockdown (transwell migration and wounding assay, p<0.001 for both). Since KRAS is mutated in many cancers, we investigated whether this relationship could be demonstrated in other tumour models. The experiments were repeated in the pancreatic cancer cell lines Colo357 & PSN-1(both high Cten expressors and mutant for KRAS). In both cell lines, Kras was shown to regulate Cten and forced expression of Cten was able to rescue loss of cell motility following Kras knockdown in PSN-1 (transwell migration assay, p<0.001). We conclude that, in the colon and pancreas, Cten is a downstream target of Kras and may be a mechanism through which Kras regulates of cell motility
