Abstract A concrete structural member when kept under sustained load presents progressive strains over time, associated to the material creep.The fresh concrete consistency, specially, exerts some effect on that phenomenon.The pioneering formulations developed to modelling the creep of concrete are applicable, directly, to the cases for which the s
Background: The estimated intake of soy isoflavones from a meal has been based on the content in a food, but the health effects of soy isoflavones are possibly affected by their bioavailability.In this study we have evaluated the isoflavone bioavailability after the intake of three kinds of soy foods and a commercial soy isoflavone supplement, and
The PALM model system 6.0 is designed to simulate micro- and mesoscale flow dynamics in realistic urban environments.The simulation results can be very valuable for various urban applications, for example to develop and improve mitigation strategies related to heat stress or air pollution.For the accurate modelling of urban environments, realistic
