TL;DR: In this article, four different silica-based urea-formaldehyde composite materials were prepared by various sol-gel synthetic procedures to yield an interpenetrating (IPN-UF/SiO 2 ), a micro-size UF resin encapsulated inside silica shell (Encap-SiO2 /UF), and a blend mixture (Blend-Urea-Formaldehyde, SiO 2 ) hybrid systems.

TL;DR: There was a direct, dose-dependent association between change in behaviors and worries but no association between these changes and training on public health emergencies, and Fears and stresses were associated with greater adoption of preventive measures against the pandemic.
Abstract: Objective COVID-19 pandemic led to major life changes. We assessed the psychological impact of COVID-19 on dental academics globally and on changes in their behaviors. Methods We invited dental academics to complete a cross-sectional, online survey from March to May 2020. The survey was based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The survey collected data on participants’ stress levels (using the Impact of Event Scale), attitude (fears, and worries because of COVID-19 extracted by Principal Component Analysis (PCA), perceived control (resulting from training on public health emergencies), norms (country-level COVID-19 fatality rate), and personal and professional backgrounds. We used multilevel regression models to assess the association between the study outcome variables (frequent handwashing and avoidance of crowded places) and explanatory variables (stress, attitude, perceived control and norms). Results 1862 academics from 28 countries participated in the survey (response rate = 11.3%). Of those, 53.4% were female, 32.9% were <46 years old and 9.9% had severe stress. PCA extracted three main factors: fear of infection, worries because of professional responsibilities, and worries because of restricted mobility. These factors had significant dose-dependent association with stress and were significantly associated with more frequent handwashing by dental academics (B = 0.56, 0.33, and 0.34) and avoiding crowded places (B = 0.55, 0.30, and 0.28). Low country fatality rates were significantly associated with more handwashing (B = -2.82) and avoiding crowded places (B = -6.61). Training on public health emergencies was not significantly associated with behavior change (B = -0.01 and -0.11). Conclusions COVID-19 had a considerable psychological impact on dental academics. There was a direct, dose-dependent association between change in behaviors and worries but no association between these changes and training on public health emergencies. More change in behaviors was associated with lower country COVID-19 fatality rates. Fears and stresses were associated with greater adoption of preventive measures against the pandemic.

TL;DR: Forty-six Awassi sheep flocks selected by stratified random sampling were subjected to a cross-sectional study to determine the prevalence of intramammary infections, to assess the influence of flock size and parity onThe prevalence of somatic cell count (SCC) and to identify major udder pathogens.

TL;DR: The antimicrobial activity of aqueous and methanolic extracts, as well as partially purified proteins extracted from Terfezia claveryi aqueously extract were investigated against Staphylococcus aureus in vitro.
Abstract: The antimicrobial activity of aqueous and methanolic extracts, as well as partially purified proteins extracted from Terfezia claveryi aqueous extract were investigated against Staphylococcus aureus in vitro. A 5% aqueous extract inhibited the growth of S. aureus by 66.4%, while a methanolic extract was ineffective. Partial protein purification of the aqueous extract using ammonium sulphate precipitation revealed that antimicrobial activity was within the third fraction. This fraction was then subjected to gel filtration using Sephadex G-100. Two peaks were obtained. Peak one possessed higher antimicrobial activity. This peak was then subjected to ion exchange chromatography using DEAE Sephadex. Only peak 4 from the six peaks obtained showed a slight antimicrobial activity. Antimicrobial activities of the aqueous extract and the fractions that showed antimicrobial activity were compared with reference antibiotics.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental and nonlinear finite-element analysis (NLFEA) results of circular short reinforced concrete (RC) columns confined externally with carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) subjected to pure axial loading was presented.
Abstract: This paper presents an experimental and nonlinear finite-element analysis (NLFEA) results of circular short reinforced concrete (RC) columns confined externally with carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) subjected to pure axial loading. The experimental program involves the fabrication and testing of 55 specimens wrapped with different number and configuration of CFRP sheet layers in the transverse and longitudinal directions. In addition, the columns were modeled using NLFEA. After reasonable validation of NLFEA with the experimental test results of companion columns and available technical literature results, NLFEA was expanded to provide a parametric study of 96 columns that correlates the ultimate axial stress of CFRP-confined RC columns to unconfined strength of concrete ( fco ) , the volumetric ratio of CFRP ( ρf ) , and the size effect. Results indicated that the ultimate capacity and ductility increase with the increase in volumetric ratio of CFRP ( ρf ) and unconfined strength of concrete ( fco...
