TL;DR: In this article, the authors used X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examinations to study the properties of the fiber-reinforced concrete structures.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental and analytical study was conducted to investigate the mechanical properties of unstressed foamed concrete exposed to high temperatures, and the experimental results consistently demonstrated that the loss in stiffness for foamedcrete at elevated temperatures occurs predominantly after about 90 C, regardless of density.

TL;DR: A 91% glycerol conversion with a selectivity of 38%, 28% and 34% for mono-, di- and triacetyl glyceride was achieved at 120 °C and 3 h of reaction time in the presence of a catalyst derived from activated carbon treated with sulfuric acid to introduce acidic functionalities to its surface.

TL;DR: Well-designed field studies are now needed to assess sampling methodology and the application of antibody testing to the monitoring and surveillance of LF elimination programs, and the performance of antibody assays for filariasis based on recombinant antigens Bm14, WbSXP, and BmR1.
Abstract: The development of antifilarial antibody responses is a characteristic feature of infection with filarial parasites. It should be possible to exploit this fact to develop tools to monitor the progress of the global program to eliminate lymphatic filariasis (LF); however, assays based on parasite extracts suffer from a number of limitations, including the paucity of parasite material, the difficulty of assay standardization and problems with assay specificity. In principle, assays based on recombinant filarial antigens should address these limitations and provide useful tools for diagnosis and surveillance of LF. The present multicenter study was designed to compare the performance of antibody assays for filariasis based on recombinant antigens Bm14, WbSXP, and BmR1. Coded serum specimens were distributed to five participating laboratories where assays for each antigen were conducted in parallel. Assays based on Bm14, WbSXP, or BmR1 demonstrated good sensitivity (>90%) for field use and none of the assays demonstrated reactivity with specimens from persons with non-filarial helminth infections. Limitations of the assays are discussed. Well-designed field studies are now needed to assess sampling methodology and the application of antibody testing to the monitoring and surveillance of LF elimination programs.
