The use of an aluminum-containing admixture reduces the strength properties of the cement mortars, the effect being stronger in the case of CEM III cement. The influence of the sample molding time on the admixture action was also found.One of the main challenges facing materials science today is the synthesis of new biodegradable and biocompatible…[Read more]

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) associated with high-risk human papilloma virus (HPV) infection is a growing clinical problem. The WEE1 kinase inhibitor AZD1775 (WEE1i) overrides cell cycle checkpoints and is being studied in HNSCC regimens. We show that the HPV16 E6/E7 oncoproteins sensitize HNSCC cells to single-agent WEE1i…[Read more]

The retrieved structure was above the detector edge resolution and clearly showed the pseudo-icosahedral capsid of the PR772.A set of laser beams carrying orbital angular momentum is designed with the objective of establishing an effective underwater communication link. Messages are constructed using unique Laguerre-Gauss beams, which can be…[Read more]
