This Special Issue mainly focuses on state-of-the-art research progress in high-performance concrete, including the effect and characteristics of fibers on the properties of high-performance concrete, the CO2 curing efficiency of high-performance cement composites, and the effect of nano materials when used in ultra-high-performance concrete. This Special Issue also contains two comprehensive review articles covering the following topics: the role of supplementary cementitious materials in ultra-high-performance concrete and recent progress in nanomaterials in cement-based materials. Readers working towards conducting research on innovative construction materials will be exposed to findings related to this topic in this Special Issue.History of engineering & technologybicsscTechnology: general issuesbicssc3D tomographic imageABAQUSabrasionagglomerationalkali-activated materialalkali-activatoralternative alkali-activated materialaspect ratioattenuation factorautogenous shrinkagebasalt fibersbio-slimebrittle materialsC-shape magnetic probe testcalcined zeolite sandcalcium sulfoaluminate-based expansive additivecarbon nanotubescasting methodcement-based materialcement-based materialschloride attackCO2 curingcolloidal silicacompressive strengthcompressive stressconcreteconcrete damage plasticity modelconcrete infrastructureconcrete shrinkageCSA expansive additivedensificationdensified silica fumedirect tensile strengthdirect tensile testdynamic compressiondynamic light scatteringenergy absorption capacityfiber contentfiber volume fractionfiber/matrix bondfibersfibre orientation anglefilling slurry matrixflexural testflowabilityGGBFSgraphenegraphene oxideground granulated blast-furnace slagheat treatmenthigh performance concrete (HPC)high performance fiber reinforced concrete (HPFRC)high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious compositehigh-strength concreteinternal curingmechanical strengthmicroscopic image processingmodulus of elasticityMs (SiO2/Na2O)multi-layer diffusionmulti-point constraintmulti-scale interface connectionmultiscale finite element modelingNa2O contentnano-Al2O3nano-Fe2O3nano-SiO2nano-TiO2nanomaterialsnanosilicanumerical simulationphysical propertiespolypropylene fiber (PP)polyvinyl alcohol fiber (PVA)pore solutionporosityporous cementitious materialspozzolanic reactionpre-wettedrailway sleeperreactive powder concreterepairresidual flexural strengthservice lifesetting timeshrinkageshrinkage stressSIFRCCsimulationsize effectslurry-infiltrated fiber-reinforced cementitious compositesmart infrastructuresmart materialsSplit Hopkinson Pressure Bars (SPHB)splitting tensile strengthstatic bending teststeel fiberstrengthstrength developmentstress-strain relationshipstructural performancesulfate attacksupplementary cementitious materials (SCMs)sustainabilitytemperaturetoughness indexultra high-performance concrete (UHPC)ultra-high performance fiber-reinforced concreteultra-high-performance concreteultra-high-performance steel fiber-reinforced concreteultrahigh-performance concreteultrasonic pulse velocityworkabilityX-ray CT analysiszeta potentialHistory of engineering & technologyTechnology: general issuesPyo Sukhoonedt1303480Pyo SukhoonothBOOK9910557611803321High Performance Concrete3027098UNINA05312nam 2201345z- 450 991055764610332120220111(CKB)5400000000044992(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/77019(oapen)doab77019(EXLCZ)99540000000004499220202201d2021 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBacillus thuringiensis Toxins: Functional Characterization and Mechanism of ActionBasel, SwitzerlandMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20211 online resource (340 p.)3-0365-2049-X 3-0365-2050-3 Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)-based products are the most successful microbial insecticides to date. This entomopathogenic bacterium produces different kinds of proteins whose specific toxicity has been shown against a wide range of insect orders, nematodes, mites, protozoa, and human cancer cells. Some of these proteins are accumulated in parasporal crystals during the sporulation phase (Cry and Cyt proteins), whereas other proteins are secreted in the vegetative phase of growth (Vip and Sip toxins). Currently, insecticidal proteins belonging to different groups (Cry and Vip3 proteins) are widely used to control insect pests and vectors both in formulated sprays and in transgenic crops (the so-called Bt crops). Despite the extensive use of these proteins in insect pest control, especially Cry and Vip3, their mode of action is not completely understood. The aim of this Special Issue was to gather information that could summarize (in the form of review papers) or expand (research papers) the knowledge of the structure and function of Bt proteins, as well as shed light on their mode of action, especially regarding the insect receptors. This subject has generated great interest, and this interest has been materialized into the 18 papers of important scientific value in the field (5 reviews and 13 research papers) that have been compiled in this issue.Bacillus thuringiensis ToxinsResearch and information: generalbicssc3D-Cry toxins3D-structureABCC2adhesionAedes aegyptiAFManticancer activityAnticarsia gemmatalisantimicrobial peptideapoptosisAsian corn borerATP-binding cassette subfamily a member 2 (ABCA2)Bacillus thuringiensisBacillus thuringiensis proteinsbioassaybiological controlBombyx moriBticadherinchitin-binding proteincoleopteran pestsCRISPR/Cas9CryCry1AbCry1Ac resistanceCry1FaCry2Ab toxinCytCyt2Aa2 toxinerythrocyte membranefunctional receptorgenome editinggut microbiotaHEK293T cellin vitro evolutioninsect resistanceinsecticidal activityinsecticidal proteinsLeptinotarsa decemlineataLobesia botranalysosomeMamestra brassicaemembrane receptorsminor proteinsmitochondriamode of actionmode of action of Cry toxinmosquito controln/aoligomer formationOstrinia furnacalisOstrinia nubilalisparasporinsperitrophic matrixPlutella xylostellaprotein-lipid bindingprotoxin activationpyramidsQCM-Drational designresistanceS-layer proteinsSf21 cell lineSf9 cellsSipsite-directed mutagenesisSpodoptera frugiperdaSpodoptera lituraSpodoptera spp., Helicoverpa armigerastructuresynergytobacco budwormtoxin enhancementtranscription activator-like effector-nucleases (TALENs)trypsin-like midgut proteasevegetative insecticidal proteinsVipVip3AVip3AaResearch and information: generalBel Yolandaedt1313328Ferré JuanedtHernández-Martínez PatriciaedtBel YolandaothFerré JuanothHernández-Martínez PatriciaothBOOK9910557646103321Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins: Functional Characterization and Mechanism of Action3031291UNINA
