As Construction and Demolition (C&D) debris increases every year, systems have been adopted to compel the use of recycled aggregate made from C&D debris, and the use of recycled aggregate in the construction field has increased. But environmental problems linked to the alkalinity of recycled aggregate have occurred, and a study on approaches to lower the alkalinity of recycled aggregate is needed. It was certified by this study that a large amount of recycled aggregate could be carbonated in the C&D debris midterm-treatment field. As a result, the density and the water absorption of recycled aggregate after carbonation reaction was improved, and pH of recycled aggregate was lowered from over 11 to 9.4. X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), and Thermogravimetry/Differential Thermal Analysis (TG/DTA) methods also indicated the carbonation of recycled aggregate.

The curing time of the phenolic resin for the processing of brake pad is very important factor for reducing the processing cost. The curing time could be investigated by examining the reaction time of the phenolic resin and hexamethylenediamine. The reaction time has been studied by FT-IR, Differential Scanning Calolimetric Analysis (DSC), and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA).

Unusual radiographic findings of intraosseous ameloblastoma have been reported and discussed. In the case discussed herein, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) clearly showed many radiographic features that were ambiguous on conventional radiographs, including an ill-defined periphery, extensive superficial buccal extension with minimal lingual extension, obvious bucco-crestal expansion, and multiple triangular (Codman's triangle-like) areas of periosteal reaction. Based on the above-mentioned findings, the differential diagnosis was a long-term infected benign or low-grade malignant lesion. An incisional biopsy was performed, and the histopathologic diagnosis was acanthomatous ameloblastoma. Recurrence of the lesion was clearly detected on CBCT images at 4 and 8 years after surgery. These unusual radiographic findings have never been reported to be associated with ameloblastoma, and thus may contribute to novel concepts in radiographic interpretation in the future. This report also underscores the important role played by CBCT as a comprehensive diagnostic tool and for definite confirmation of recurrence.

Objectives: The formation of new bone by periosteum due to an insult is called periosteal bone reaction (PBR). This study assessed the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) patterns of periosteal bone reactions associated with periapical inflammatory lesion (apical periodontitis/periapical rarefying osteitis). Materials and Methods: Twenty-two small field of view CBCT images of patients with PBR were selected from a database of a private practice limited to endodontics. The volume of the periapical inflammatory lesion, the presence of cortical fenestration, the distance of the root apices to the affected cortex, and the location, pattern, and longest diameter of the periosteal reaction were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed using Wilcoxon Ranksum, Fischer's exact, Spearman Correlation Coefficient, and paired t-test. Results: In all cases, periosteal bone reaction manifested as either parallel (90.9%) or irregular (9.1%). No correlation was found between periapical inflammatory lesion volume and the periosteal reaction's longest diameter (p > 0.05). Cortical fenestration was noted in 72.7% of the cases. In addition, the findings showed that periosteal reactions were located mostly on the buccal and were present 53.8% and 100% of the time in the mandible and maxilla, respectively. Conclusions: The periosteal reactions of endodontic origin had a nonaggressive form (i.e., parallel or irregular), and none of the lesions resulted in a periosteal reaction with an ominous Codman's triangle or spicule pattern.

Fractional kinetic equations are investigated in order to describe the various phenomena governed by anomalous reaction in dynamical systems with chaotic motion. Many authors have provided solutions of various families of fractional kinetic equations involving special functions. Here, in this paper, we aim at presenting solutions of certain general families of fractional kinetic equations using Prabhakar-type operators. The idea of present paper is motivated by Tomovski et al. [21].

Experimental trials were conducted using computer simulation to investigate driver's cognitional process of signals at differential speed limit. The Korean railway safety law, as it stands, is not stated the driver requirement about cognitive abilities which are able to make a positive reaction at different types of speed. Therefore, some effective alternatives suggested in this study may be used as basic data for supporting the Korean railway safety law.

We give a simple and direct proof of the characterization of positivity preserving semi-flows for ordinary differential systems. The same method provides an abstract result on a class of evolution systems containing reaction-diffusion systems in a bounded domain of ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ with either Neumann or Dirichlet homogeneous boundary conditions. The conditions are exactly the same with or without diffusion. A similar approach gives the optimal result for invariant rectangles in the case of Neumann conditions.

A case of an unicystic ameloblastoma of the mandible presenting as an apical periodontal cyst was reported. The lesion showed an unilocular radiolucency with well delineated border. Histologic examination revealed that a fibrous cyst wall with a lining that consists of partially of ameloblastic epithelium. The overlying epithelial cells are loosely cohesive and resemble stellate reticulum. The fibrous cyst wall of the cyst is infiltrated by typical follicular ameloblastoma. but devoid of inflammatory reaction in the cystic wall. Some considerations regarding differential diagnosis. pathogenesis and biologic behaviour of the lesion were discussed.

Cerebellar atrophy was found that a patient was taking oral phenytoin for 3 years. 53 years old female patient with General tonic clonic(GTC) type seizure was prescribed phenytoin. In the process, she developed ataxic gate, dysarthria. Brain magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) finding was revealed differential diagnosis cerebellar atrophy. She was prescribed epileptol instead of phenytoin. But leukopenia, thrombocytopenia occurred. As a result, phenytoin restarted. Development of medical state decreased abuse of anticonvulsants. Considering various convulsive disorders, we must give attention to using anticonvulsants.

The hydration reaction of the slag-gypsum system was studied by X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, optical icroscopic observation, and measurement of heat liberation of hydration. 1. Domestic granulated slag was almost noncrystalized state, and its mineral compositions calculated were 46.53% of gehlenite, 28.14% of akermanite, and 19.04% of wollastonite. 2. The slag quenched with water at relatively high temperature had better reactivity. 3. The production of ettringite, CSH gel and AH3 gel were stimulated by effect of $Ca(OH)_2$, $Mg(OH)_2$ and calcined dolomite as activators, and the strength of hardened body would be developed by forming compacted microstructure.
