The main objective of this paper is to assess the effect of different viscosity-enhancing admixture (VEA) types and concentrations on deformability and stability of self-consolidating concrete (SCC).Two polysaccharide-based VEAs, one cellulose-based VEA, and a modified-startch VEA are used in this investigation.Regardless of polymer type, results s
In this article, Santa Sacks we provide a brief introduction to the special issue on research ethics in qualitative research.We describe the general context within which our idea emerged to organize a special issue and present its design and, for purposes of transparency, some particulars with respect to the selection and review process.We sketch s
For the past decade engineered nanoplatforms have seen a momentous progress in developing a multimodal theranostic formulation which can be simultaneously used for imaging and RED OMEGA therapy.In this report we describe the synthesis and application of theranostic phospholipid based polymeric micelles for optical fluorescence imaging and controlle
