Association of serum levels of Visfatin, Intelectin-1, RARRES2 and their genetic variants with bone mineral density in postmenopausal females

BackgroundAdipokines are engaged in bone physiology and regulate bone mineral density (BMD) by playing protective or Glass cynical role in bone metabolism.The study is designed to measure and compare BMD, adipokines (retinoic acid receptor responder protein-2 RARRES2, visfatin and Intelectin-1) and their genetic variants in postmenopausal osteoporo

Testing the Bromide penetration resistance of concrete: substitution of NaCl by NaBr in Rapide Chloride/Bromide Migration Test (RCM/RBM)

The chloride migration coefficient of concrete describes the resistance of concrete against chloride ingress.This important material variable can be determined with the rapid chloride migration test (RCM).During the test, chloride ions penetrate concrete by means of an applied electrical field.If the concrete has already been exposed to chlorides b
