Steel fibers and their aspect ratios are important parameters that have significant influence on the mechanical properties of ultrahigh-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). Steel fiber dosage also significantly contributes to the initial manufacturing cost of UHPFRC. This study presents a...

BACKGROUND: WHO currently recommends a single dose of typhoid conjugate vaccine (TCV) in high-burden countries based on 2-year vaccine efficacy data from large randomised controlled trials. Given the decay of immunogenicity, the protection beyond 2 years is unknown. We therefore extended the follow-...

In this work, we formulate and study a nonlinear mathematical model of fishery management to understand the dynamics of a fishery resource system in an aquatic environment that consists of two zones; one is free fishing zone and another is reserve zone where fishing is strictly prohibited. We have a...

The burden of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi (S. Typhi) shedding in stool and its contribution to transmission in endemic settings is unknown. During passive surveillance S. Typhi shedding was seen during convalescence in 332 bacteremic patient with typhoid, although none persisted at 1-year fol...

A cluster-randomized trial of Vi-TT was conducted in Dhaka, Bangladesh, using JE vaccine as the control. A subset of 1,500 children were randomly selected on 2:1 basis (Vi-TT vs JE) to assess immune response. Blood was collected before vaccination, and on days 28, 545 and 730 post-vaccination and pl...

Compressive and tensile strength are important parameters to know the quality of concrete. This study represents a method predicting the split tensile strength through the compressive strength (0 up to 65 MPa) of cube and cylinder specimens of concrete by polynomial regression analysis. The polynomi...

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is considered to be a promising material for the strengthening of damaged reinforced concrete (RC) members due to its high mechanical strength and low permeability. However, its high material cost, limited code provisions, and scattered material properties limi...
