Summary: Three types of carbonate building stones from Turkey were tested for their physical and mechanical properties after freeze-thaw cycles with salt solutions. Material characterization, including chemical and mineralogical-petrographic tests, pore size distribution, and physico-mechanical tests, was performed. The results showed that water absorption, uniaxial compressive strength, and ultrasonic wave measurement values of all samples increased after multiple freeze-thaw cycles. However, the water absorption of silver travertine and Burdur limestone decreased due to the presence of small pores. The ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) values of travertine samples decreased gradually with more freeze-thaw cycles, and the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) values of all samples decreased in all solutions.

Summary: To conserve freshwater resources, seawater can be used for concrete production. This study investigated the effects of sodium chloride (NaCl) on the hydration of alite, the main clinker phase in Portland cement. It was found that increasing NaCl concentration can improve the micromechanical properties of alite pastes.

Summary: The influences of sodium chloride (NaCl) and sucrose on starch properties were found to be related to starch structural characteristics. NaCl/sucrose delayed the gelatinization of starch with a high ratio of short-to-long amylopectin chains and loose granular packing. The effects of NaCl on the viscoelasticity of gelatinizing starch were related to the flexibility of amylopectin internal structure. The effects of NaCl/sucrose on starch retrogradation varied with starch structure, co-solute concentration, and analytical method, and were highly associated with amylose chain length distribution. Sucrose strengthened the weak network formed by short amylose chains, while the effect was not significant on amylose chains that were capable of forming strong networks.

Summary: This study aims to compare the effects of lactated ringers (LR) and 0.9% sodium chloride (0.9%NaCl) on electrolyte derangements in pediatric resuscitation. The results show that compared to the 0.9%NaCl group, the LR group had a lower incidence of extreme hyperkalemia and extreme acidosis.

Summary: The influence of sodium chloride on the conformation and structure of sugar beet pectin in aqueous solutions was thoroughly characterized in this study. The relative viscosity and specific conductivity of the solutions decreased after the addition of sodium chloride, indicating changes in the pectin's conformation and structure. The addition of sodium chloride also affected the surface tension and zeta potential of the solutions. These findings suggest a possible transition from linear to globular conformation of the pectin macromolecular chain.

Summary: The study found that the aminomethacrylate copolymer (AMC) can enhance the anti-erosive effect of fluoride solutions by improving rehardening and protective potential for W and F, but not for FS. Additionally, AMC significantly reduces the contact angle on enamel surfaces and changes the surface charge of HA crystals to positive after treatment.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of NaCl on cement pastes, finding that an increase in NaCl concentration at lower temperatures led to a significant decrease in compressive strength, mainly due to the formation of secondary ettringite.

Summary: The behaviour of ions solvated in water is highly ion-specific and can be explained by considering the interplay between ion-water and inter-water interactions as well as the bond-orientational order of the hydration shell. This study provides insight into the ion-specific effects observed in salt solutions and their impact on solution dynamics. The findings have fundamental implications for ionic processes in aqueous solutions, offering a physical principle for electrolyte design and application.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the influence of solvate shells interaction on the profiles of infrared spectra of sodium chloride solutions. Experimental measurements of infrared spectra were conducted on distilled water and sodium chloride solutions at limit and half-limit concentrations. Theoretical calculations using the DFT approach with the XLYP exchange-correlation potential were employed to compute the infrared spectra profiles for clusters containing 9 water molecules and one NaCl molecule. The results showed that the infrared spectrum is mainly influenced by the interaction of Na+ and Cl- solvation shells, each consisting of 4 water molecules, with the 9th water molecule providing bonding between the solvated ions.

Summary: In solutions with pH <5, cucurbit[7]uril can spontaneously encapsulate the anticancer drug gemcitabine to form a supramolecular complex. The binding of gemcitabine by Q[7] is facilitated by acidification, but hindered by the association of sodium cations with Q[7] portals. Despite this hindering effect, gemcitabine can still be efficiently bound by cucurbit[7]uril in certain concentration ranges.

Summary: Surface potential measurement values at gas-liquid interfaces can be ambiguous due to lack of standardization in calibration and normalization methods. The proposed circuit model based on americium-241 demonstrates reliability in quantifying surface potential. Validation with surface tension measurements further confirms the accuracy of the ionizing method.

Summary: Limited data is available on cellular immune responses in individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection after vaccination. This study found that breakthrough infections in vaccinated patients exhibit cellular immune responses that limit the progression of inflammatory responses and suggest mechanisms by which vaccination limits disease severity. These findings have implications for developing more effective vaccines and therapies.
