Investigation of High Performance Concrete Pavement, MLR-05-01, 2006

The Iowa DOT has been using blended cements in ternary mixes since 1999. Use of these supplementary cementitious materials gives concrete with higher strengths and much lower permeability. Use of these materials has been incorporated for use in High Performance Concrete (HPC) decks to achieve lower permeability and thus long term performance. Since we have been using these materials in paving, it would be informative to determine what concrete pavement properties are enhanced as related to high performance concrete. The air void system was excellent at a spacing factor of 0.0047 in (0.120 mm). AVA spacing factor results are much higher than the hardened air void analysis. Although only 3 samples were tested between the image analysis air content and the RapidAir457, there is pretty good agreement between those test methods. Air void analysis indicates that excessive vibration was not required to place the concrete. Vibration was well within the specification limits with an average of 6683 vpm’s with a standard deviation of 461. Overall ride of the project was very good. The average smoothness for the project was 2.1 in/mile (33.8 mm/km). The International Roughness Index (IRI) was 81 in/mi (1.29 m/km). The compressive strength was 6260 psi (43.2 MPa) at 28 days and 6830 (47.1 MPa) at 56 days. The modulus of rupture by third point loading (MOR-TPL) tested at 28 days was 660 psi (4.55 MPa). The AASHTO T277 rapid chloride permeability results at 28 days using the Virginia cure method correlate fairly well with the 56 and 90 day results with standard curing. The Virginia cure method 28 day results were 2475 coulombs and the standard cure 56 and 90 day test results were 2180 and 2118, respectively.

Polimorfismo da beta-lactoglobulina não afeta as características físico-químicas e a estabilidade do leite bovino

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do polimorfismo genético da beta-lactoglobulina, da raça e da sazonalidade sobre as características físico-químicas e estabilidade do leite bovino. Foram selecionados 5 rebanhos da raça Holandesa e 6 da Girolando. Amostras de leite e sangue foram coletadas de 660 vacas Holandesas e 293 Girolandos, num total de 953 amostras, obtidas em duas coletas na estação seca e duas na estação chuvosa. As amostras de leite foram submetidas à análise de acidez titulável, pH, crioscopia, e ao teste de estabilidade ao etanol (70, 76, 80 e 84ºGL). As amostras de sangue foram submetidas à reação em cadeia de polimerase, para determinação do polimorfismo da beta-lactoglobulina em ambas as raças estudadas. Não houve efeito do polimorfismo da beta-lactoglobulina sobre as características físico-químicas do leite. Observou-se efeito de raça (Holandesa e Girolando, respectivamente) sobre a acidez titulável (16,16 e 17,07°D), e da sazonalidade (estações chuvosa e seca, respectivamente) sobre a crioscopia (-0,5411 e -0,5376°H). Nas condições do estudo, observou-se efeito de raça e sazonalidade sobre a estabilidade do leite, com maior instabilidade do leite de Girolando, durante a estação seca. Não houve efeito do polimorfismo da beta-lactoglobulina sobre essa característica.

Virological and immunological responses to efavirenz or boosted lopinavir as first-line therapy for patients with HIV.

BACKGROUND: Efavirenz and lopinavir boosted with ritonavir are both recommended as first-line therapies for patients with HIV when combined with two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. It is uncertain which therapy is more effective for patients starting therapy with an advanced infection. METHODS: We estimated the relative effect of these two therapies on rates of virological and immunological failure within the Swiss HIV Cohort Study and considered whether estimates depended on the CD4(+) T-cell count when starting therapy. We defined virological failure as either an incomplete virological response or viral rebound after viral suppression and immunological failure as failure to achieve an expected CD4(+) T-cell increase calculated from EuroSIDA statistics. RESULTS: Patients starting efavirenz (n=660) and lopinavir (n=541) were followed for a median of 4.5 and 3.1 years, respectively. Virological failure was less likely for patients on efavirenz, with the adjusted hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) of 0.63 (0.50-0.78) then multiplied by a factor of 1.00 (0.90-1.12) for each 100 cells/mm(3) decrease in CD4(+) T-cell count below the mean when starting therapy. Immunological failure was also less likely for patients on efavirenz, with the adjusted hazard ratio of 0.68 (0.51-0.91) then multiplied by a factor of 1.29 (1.14-1.46) for each 100 cells/mm(3) decrease in CD4(+) T-cell count below the mean when starting therapy. CONCLUSIONS: Virological failure is less likely with efavirenz regardless of the CD4(+) T-cell count when starting therapy. Immunological failure is also less likely with efavirenz; however, this advantage disappears if patients start therapy with a low CD4(+) T-cell count.

Adsorção de cádmio e chumbo em solos tropicais altamente intemperizados

O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar a capacidade de adsorção de cádmio e de chumbo e avaliar a influência das propriedades dos solos sobre os parâmetros de adsorção desses elementos em solos tropicais altamente intemperizados. Foram utilizados quatro Latossolos e um Argissolo. Amostras de 1 g de solo foram agitadas por 16 horas, com soluções de CaCl2 0,01 mol L-1, às quais foram adicionadas 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60 e 80 µg mL-1 de cádmio e 0, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 e 120 µg mL-1 de chumbo na forma de nitrato. As quantidades adsorvidas foram determinadas mediante análise dos elementos no sobrenadante, e os dados foram ajustados às isotermas de Langmuir e de Freundlich. Os resultados experimentais ajustaram-se aos modelos estudados. A adsorção máxima de cádmio variou de 136 a 1.604 µg g-1 e a de chumbo, de 988 a 1.660 µg g-1. As energias de ligação variaram de 0,0036 a 0,0403 µg mL-1 e de 0,0282 a 1,0425 µg mL-1 para cádmio e chumbo, respectivamente. Os atributos dos solos correlacionados à adsorção de cádmio foram o pH e a capacidade de troca de cátions, e à adsorção de chumbo foram o pH e os níveis de óxidos de ferro e de alumínio.

The clc element and related genomic islands in Proteobacteria

Genomic islands are large DNA segments, present in most bacterial genome, that are acquired via horizontal gene transfer and contribute to the rapid bacterial evolution and adaptation of the host cell. Here we focus on the clc element (or ICEclc), a 103‑kb genomic island first discovered in Pseudomonas knackmussii B13, as a model of this diverse group of mobile genetic elements. ICEclc is normally integrated in the host bacterial chromosome but can excise and transfer to a new host by conjugation. In this chapter we review the basic features of ICEclc, the mechanisms of its life‑style as well as evolutionary relationships with other known and unknown elements in a variety of Proteobacteria.

1119-008 Lake Icaria Final Report

Lake Icaria is a 660 acre man-made lake in rural Adams County. Lake Icaria is a popular recreational attraction providing ample fishing, boating, and swimming opportunities. Constructed in 1977 for water supply, Lake lcaria continues to provide reliable drinking water to 1,900 households in Adams and Montgomery counties. No stranger to the water quality world, Lake Icaria was the primary lake in the 3Lakes Water Quality Project(1996-2004), an eight year water quality effort which came to be known as one oflowa's first great water quality successes. At time of construction the Lake Icaria watershed was primarily grass. A shift towards maximizing crop production in the 1980's brought about the end of dairy farms and a concern for sediment loss and how that would affect water quality. This change in land use set the stage for the first water quality project at Lake Icaria. Since the conclusion of the 3Lakes Water Quality Project in 2004land use in the watershed has made yet another monumental shift towards crop production. Nearly 2,000 acres ofland that was once in the conservation reserve program is now being planted to a crop. This change in land use has once again brought about serious concerns for the quality of water being provided by Lake Icaria.
