Objective To determine through the log-linear model analysis technique the impact of women's
reproductive autonomy, spouses' educational background and other factors on the use of …

The spread of bacterial infectious diseases is a major public threat. Herbs and spices have
offered an excellent, important and useful source of antimicrobial agents against many …

There is currently a need to develop lightweight bridge deck systems with solid riding
surfaces to replace the open-grid steel decks from moveable bridges. Open-grid steel decks …

Ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) is increasingly making its way into the construction
field. Characterization of UHPC has therefore received much-needed attention in the …

Utilization of waste materials in the production of burnt clay bricks can be helpful in reducing
the landfill burden. This study aims to develop lighter and eco-friendly burnt clay bricks …

Bridge deck systems developed using conventional materials like concrete and steel have
low strength-to-weight ratios; take long time to install; are prone to premature deterioration …

The environmental impact of the cement industry can be controlled by substituting a part of
the cement with supplementary cementitious materials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs). …

Ferrocement panels reinforced with galvanized iron (GI) mesh have been in use historically,
however in the regions where humidity levels are high the GI mesh tends to corrode, …

The study was undertaken to enhance the production of b-galactosidase using five organic
nitrogen sources with wheat bran as a substrate under solid state fermentation. The microbial …

The empirical data in conjunction with the quantum mechanical calculations show that the
strength enhancement in the cement-carbon nanotubes (CNTs) composites is the courtesy of …
