Shrinkage of expansive soils may cause serious problems to geotechnical and geo-environmental structures. In this study, the shrinkage behaviour of compacted clay treated with 4% lime was investigated. The samples of compacted clay without lime-treatment were also tested for the purpose of comparison. Besides, changes in microstructure were analyze...
Triple-negative breast cancers are extremely aggressive with limited treatment options because of the reduced response of the cancerous cells to hormonal therapy. Here, monodispersed zinc-containing mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs-Zn) were produced as a tuneable biodegradable platform for delivery of therapeutic zinc ions into cells. We demo...
