The crystalline properties, structure composition, morphology and particle size distribution of the Ca-Al LDH (CAL) samples were illustrated. To obtain the chloride uptake performances of CAL, the influences of contact time, initial concentration of Cl, pH of reaction solution and coexistence anions on the chloride uptake were examined systematically. Compared to the CAL samples obtained at a higher aging temperature, CAL synthesized at 60 °C demonstrated the minimum average particle size (6.148 μm) and the best Cl adsorption capacity (211.324 mg/g). Based on the test results, the main adsorption mechanism of chloride ion on CAL was recognized as an interlayer anion exchanging reaction other than the dissolution-precipitate mode. With the increase in the pH value of reaction solution from 7 to 13, it was found that the amount of chloride ion adsorbed by CAL increased slightly, and the solution could remain at relatively high pH value even after the adsorption. The presence of CO32− and SO42− reduced the adsorption capacity of CAL dramatically as compared with OH− due to the destruction of layered structure and the formation of precipitates (CaCO3 or CaSO4). The interference sequence of the investigated anions on the chloride uptake of CAL was SO42−, CO32− and OH, and the order of interlayer anionic affinity was Cl > OH > NO3. The results illustrated that the synthesized CAL could be used as a promising chloride ion adsorbent for the corrosion inhibition of reinforcement embedded cement-based materials.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 19:20:12 AEDT ]]> An investigation of radial basis function method for strain reconstruction by energy-resolved neutron imaging https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45209 Wed 26 Oct 2022 15:36:43 AEDT ]]> New Perspectives on Excavation Disturbance Zones: Main Driving Forces https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53049 Wed 20 Mar 2024 14:28:46 AEDT ]]> Conscious and non-conscious measures of emotion: do they vary with frequency of pornography use? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30744 N = 52) who reported viewing various amounts of pornography were presented with emotion inducing images. Brain Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) were recorded and Startle Reflex Modulation (SRM) was applied to determine non-conscious emotion processes. Explicit valence and arousal ratings for each image presented were also taken to determine conscious emotion effects. Conscious explicit ratings revealed significant differences with respect to “Erotic” and “Pleasant” valence (pleasantness) ratings depending on pornography use. SRM showed effects approaching significance and ERPs showed changes in frontal and parietal regions of the brain in relation to “Unpleasant” and “Violent” emotion picture categories, which did not correlate with differences seen in the explicit ratings. Findings suggest that increased pornography use appears to have an influence on the brain’s non-conscious responses to emotion-inducing stimuli which was not shown by explicit self-report.]]> Wed 14 Nov 2018 13:30:24 AEDT ]]> Bringing CT Scanners to the Skies: Design of a CT Scanner for an Air Mobile Stroke Unit https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47959 Wed 13 Mar 2024 07:52:44 AEDT ]]> Objective measures of emotion during virtual walks through urban environments https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17717 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:00:33 AEST ]]> Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Cement Mortar Composite Containing Recycled Expanded Glass Aggregate and Nano Titanium Dioxide https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44156 Wed 07 Feb 2024 18:05:04 AEDT ]]> A novel method for performance measurement of public educational institutions using machine learning models https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39585 Wed 07 Feb 2024 15:03:57 AEDT ]]> Efficient Crowd Anomaly Detection Using Sparse Feature Tracking and Neural Network https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55546 Wed 05 Jun 2024 09:44:01 AEST ]]> Optimisation of 2D U-Net model components for automatic prostate segmentation on MRI https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38709 Tue 18 Jan 2022 11:49:18 AEDT ]]> Trends and directions of financial technology (Fintech) in society and environment: A bibliometric study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44298 Tue 11 Oct 2022 16:05:37 AEDT ]]> A simple water retention model based on grain size distribution https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40112 Thu 28 Jul 2022 15:43:08 AEST ]]> Mechanical and thermo-physical performances of gypsum-based PCM composite materials reinforced with carbon fiber https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39307 Thu 28 Jul 2022 14:56:29 AEST ]]> Investigation of mechanical properties for group anchors https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39274 Thu 28 Jul 2022 14:49:23 AEST ]]> Experimental Study of 3D Concrete Printing Configurations Based on the Buildability Evaluation https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45391 Thu 27 Oct 2022 15:16:22 AEDT ]]> Water-weakening effects on the mechanical behavior of different rock types: Phenomena and mechanisms https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45320 Thu 27 Oct 2022 13:52:39 AEDT ]]> Prediction of Self-Healing of Engineered Cementitious Composite Using Machine Learning Approaches https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45229 Thu 27 Oct 2022 12:20:18 AEDT ]]> Experimental investigations on the progressive failure characteristics of a sandwiched coal-rock system under uniaxial compression https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45173 Thu 27 Oct 2022 11:50:49 AEDT ]]> Comparative Kinetic Analysis of CaCO3/CaO Reaction System for Energy Storage and Carbon Capture https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45332 Thu 27 Oct 2022 10:18:34 AEDT ]]> The therapeutic potential of the labdane diterpenoid forskolin https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42579 Coleus forskohlii (Willd.)

Forskolin is a labdane diterpenoid with a wide biological effect. Several studies suggested a positive role of forskolin on heart complications, respiratory disorders, high blood pressure, obesity, and asthma. There are numerous clinical and pre-clinical studies representing the effect of forskolin on the above-mentioned disorders but more clinical studies need to be performed to support its efficacy.]]> Thu 25 Aug 2022 15:31:17 AEST ]]> The Significance of Hydrophobicity for the Water Retention Properties of Sand and Coal https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47927 Thu 09 Feb 2023 11:59:55 AEDT ]]> Bulk Solids Stacking Strategy of a Rectangular Ship Cabin https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51467 Thu 07 Sep 2023 10:43:56 AEST ]]> Characterisation of the material and mechanical properties of atomic force microscope cantilevers with a plan-view trapezoidal geometry https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35814 Thu 05 Dec 2019 15:27:09 AEDT ]]> A State-of-the-Art Review on the Study of the Diffusion Mechanism of Fissure Grouting https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:56028 Mon 29 Jul 2024 11:27:58 AEST ]]> The significance of sky temperature in the assessment of the thermal performance of buildings https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44158 Mon 10 Oct 2022 09:38:29 AEDT ]]> Does Context Matter?
