Enhancing Asphalt Performance and Its Long-Term Sustainability with Nano Calcium Carbonate and Nano Hydrated Lime
...Show More Authors

Nanomaterials enhance the performance of both asphalt binders and asphalt mixtures. They also improve asphalt durability, which reduces resource consumption and environmental impact in the long term associated with the production and transportation of asphalt materials. Thus, this paper studies the effectiveness of Nano Calcium Carbonate (Nano CaCO3) and Nano Hydrated Lime (NHL) as modifiers and examines their impact on ranges from 0% to 10% through comprehensive laboratory tests. Softening point, penetration, storage stability, viscosity, and mass loss due to short-term aging using the Rolling Thin Film Oven Test (RTFO) were performed on asphalt binders. Results indicated a significant improvement in binder stiffness, particularly at 4% Nano CaCO3 and 6% NHL content by weight. Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) tests further revealed substantial improvements in rutting resistance, with NHL exhibiting superior high-temperature stability and a notable increase in the rutting factor. Marshall stability tests on asphalt concrete (AC) mixtures showed a 22.3% increase in stability with 6% NHL by weight, surpassing the 20.2% improvement observed with Nano CaCO3 and indicating enhanced load-bearing capacity. The resilient modulus of the mixtures consistently increased with the addition of NHL, suggesting improved durability in rutting. Moisture susceptibility tests revealed that NHL significantly enhances moisture resistance, exceeding the 80% TSR benchmark at just 2% content by weight and reaching an impressive 94.6% at 10% content by weight. In contrast, Nano CaCO3 demonstrated a more gradual improvement, achieving an 88.2% TSR at 10% content. Furthermore, permanent deformation analysis indicated a 68.64% improvement in rutting resistance with 10% NHL content by weight, exceeding Nano CaCO3’s improvement rate. Optimal fatigue resistance was achieved at 4% for Nano CaCO3 and 6% for NHL by weight, with respective CT index improvements of 30% and 35.4%, showing NHL’s consistent benefits across various nanomaterial contents. Overall, the study suggests that both Nano CaCO3 and NHL positively impact asphalt performance, with NHL offering more pronounced benefits across a range of properties. These findings provide valuable insights for pavement engineers and underscore NHL’s potential as an effective additive in asphalt mixture design. Real-world applications and validations are essential for a comprehensive understanding of these nanomaterials in practical pavement engineering scenarios.

Western Diets Implications on Health, Including Its Influence on Metabolism and the Immunity
...Show More Authors

Processed and red The Western diet, a modern dietary pattern, typically consists of meat, sugar-filled beverages, candies, chocolates, fried foods, prefabricated meals, refined cereals, conventionally produced animal products, high-fat dairy products, and high-fructose items. The goal of this review is to outline how the Western pattern diet affects gut microbiota and mitochondrial fitness, as well as metabolism, inflammation, and antioxidant status. Cancer, mental health, and cardiovascular health; We offer a thorough analysis of how the westernized diet and related nutrients affect immune cell responses as well as the hygienic costs of the Western diet.

Perceived competence and its relation to locus of control among sixth-grade students
...Show More Authors

The purposes of study are to measure the perceived competence and the locus of control among sixth-grade students, to identify the statistical differences between the perceived competence and the locus of control among sixth-grade students regarding the variable of gender, achievement, and economical status, and lastly, explore the correlation relationship between perceived competence and locus of control among sixth-grade students, To do this, the researchers have constructed two scales: one to measure the perceived competence based on bandura's theory (social-cognitive theory) which consisted of (26) items and the other to measure the locus of control based on Rotter's theory (social-learning theory) which included (25) items. The samp

Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using Thyme Vulgaris leaves extract and its Antibacterial activity
...Show More Authors

In the current research, an eco-biosynthesis method for synthesizing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is reported using thymus vulgaris leaves (T. vulgaris) extracts. The optical and structural properties of the nanoparticles is determined using UV-visible, x-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). In addition, the synthesis factors such as the temperature, the molar ratio of silver nitride and thymus vulgaris leaves extract have been investigated. The XRD pattern presented higher intensity for the five characteristic peaks of silver. FESEM images for same samples indicated that the particle size was distributed between 24-56 nm. In addition, it’s observed the formation of some aggregated Ag particles

This research was divided into an introduction, a preface, three demands, and a conclusion.
The preamble is to explain the meaning of the rule in language and terminology and the definition of the legal rule and what is related to it. The first requirement is to explain the rule that we have in our hands and the words related to its text - and is it a fundamentalist or jurisprudential rule? .
As for the second requirement - in the difference of scholars and their opinions in whether the origin of things is permi
