Narrow-Band Ultraviolet B versus Oral Minocycline in Treatment of Unstable Vitiligo: A Prospective Comparative Trial by Amir Hossein Siadat, Naser Zeinali, Fariba Iraji, Bahareh Abtahi-Naeini, Mohammad Ali Nilforoushzadeh, Kioumars Jamshidi, Parastoo Khosravani

“…Before the therapy, disease activity was present in 100% of the patients, which was reduced to 23.8% and 66.1% by the end of therapy in the NB-UVB and minocycline groups retrospectively (P<0.05). 16 of the 21 (76/1%) patients with unstable disease in the NB-UVB group achieved stability, whereas this was the case for only 7 of the 21 (33.3%) in the minocycline group (P<0.001). The diameter changes were statistically significant at the end of treatment in the NB-UVB group compared to the minocycline group (P=0.031). …”

Varying aggregate sizes, plasticizers, and supplementary cementitious materials to efficiently use Portland clinker in concrete by Asahi Amitani, Sabbie A Miller

“…Findings show that the use of reactive SCMs can contribute to reduced GHG emissions, as can the use of a higher maximum aggregate diameter and higher SP dosage. Our models also suggest that a concrete producer could follow standard mixture proportioning guidelines and yield a mixture that has over 2 times the PC content needed. …”
