    Effect of Fiber Addition, Heat Treatment, and Preset Pressure on Mechanical Properties of Ultra-High-Strength Mortars
    SAGE Publications ; 2011

    Abstract: In this study, efforts were undertaken to produce ultra-high-strength mortars (UHSM) from conventionally available materials. Selection of mixtures and optimization of mixtures were achieved by adopting the basic principles of UHSM and through trial studies. A preliminary investigation was carried out to assess the effects of different curing regimes on the strength development of UHSM. Effects of fiber addition, heat treatment, and preset pressure on the rate of strength development of UHSM mixtures were individually assessed to better understand their benefits in the production of UHSM. Mechanical properties of the heat-treated UHSM were then investigated to determine the performance of the UHSM developed from conventional materials. Results from this study suggested that for the production of UHSM, a multiple curing regime was best suited and was then used for further studies. Data on strength development indicated that heat treatment increased the strengths by 57% to 75%. With application of preset pressure, the compressive strengths of UHSM were increased significantly by 15% to 18%. The optimum quantity of fibers to produce UHSM was found to be 2% to 3%. Effectiveness of fibers in increasing the strength of UHSM was found to be higher for heat-cured specimens than for normal water-cured specimens. The maximum target strengths obtained from the UHSM were 194 MPa, 24 MPa, and 31 MPa for compression, split tension, and flexure, respectively. The UHSM also showed improved energy absorption and toughness characteristics, especially at higher-fiber dosages.

    Abstract: Among older Latino/as immigrants diagnosed with Cancer in Central Florida, little is known about the transmission of cancer knowledge to family and friends. This qualitative study explored the open-ended survey responses of 32 older Latino/as participants who reported a cancer diagnosis. We used thematic analysis to understand shared kinship knowledge through advice-giving to family members and friends. Identified advice topics included possessing faith, following up with a doctor, and seeking treatment while remaining positive. Participants’ advice mostly centered on relying on God when coping with a cancer diagnosis. Faith in God provided strength to manage challenges associated with the cancer diagnosis and led to an improved chance of recovery. Older Latino/as with cancer provide information about their cancer diagnosis in an empowering, advising manner to family members and friends. After accepting their cancer diagnosis, they endeavored to demystify the disease by providing words of advice and wisdom to their family and friends.

    Abstract: The prevalence of cancer increases with age. Cancer related knowledge and attitudes towards the disease affects health seeking behavior. The knowledge and attitudes of older adults in Barcelona, Spain regarding cancer are unknown. Methods: A survey consisting of 42 questions in five focus areas pertaining to the knowledge and attitudes about cancer, prevention, early diagnosis, treatment, and support was administered to 814 adults 65 years of age and older while they were attending one of the seven senior centers throughout Barcelona and the provinces. Trained social workers and psychologists conducted the interviews. Results: The average age of survey participants was 74 years. Of the participants, 44.89% were male, 55.11% were female, and 18% had cancer in the past. The percentage of older adults with cancer was low at 18%; among those with cancer, many erroneous beliefs existed, such as attributing cancer to an undeserved punishment and the belief that the illness can be acquired through contact. Only a third of the participants considered themselves at high risk for developing cancer, and 94% were unaware of the European Code against Cancer and its recommendations. 34.2% indicated they would prefer to receive no treatment if they developed cancer in the future. Conclusions: Older adults residing in Barcelona, Spain were unaware of their high risk of developing cancer. Their attitudes included fear and pessimism toward the illness and treatment. Their limited knowledge and attitudes about cancer caused older adults to minimize and ignore symptoms. They attributed symptoms and discomfort to aging rather than cancer, which resulted in worsening health problems.

    Suppression of purely elastic instabilities in the torsional flow of viscoelastic fluid past a soft solid
    AIP Publishing ; 2013

    Abstract: Experiments are performed to explore the role of a soft, deformable solid layer on the purely elastic instability in the torsional flow of polymer solutions between two circular discs. The gel layer is placed on the stationary bottom plate of a rheometer, and the polymer solution is placed between the gel and the rotating top disc. The observed variation of viscosity with shear rate (or shear stress) is correlated with the presence or absence of purely elastic instability in the viscometric flow. Earlier work has shown that with increase in shear rate, the torsional flow of a polymer solution between rigid discs undergoes transition from the simple viscometric flow state to elastic turbulence via a sequence of instability modes. We combine rheological observations and flow visualization to show that the deformable solid has a profound effect on the stability of the torsional flow. In marked contrast to flow between rigid plates (where the fluid shows apparent shear-thickening at the onset of instability), the apparent viscosity continues to decrease up to a much larger value of shear rate with the presence of a soft gel. At a fixed shear rate, for flow past a soft gel, the measured stress does not exhibit marked temporal fluctuations that would otherwise be present without the soft gel. Using flow visualization, we show that secondary flow patterns that form after the instability for a rigid surface disappear for flow on soft gel surfaces. In the case of rigid surfaces, the instability is sub-critical and exhibits hysteresis behavior, which again is absent when the flow occurs past a soft solid layer. Our results show that the role of the soft deformable solid is to suppress the purely elastic instability in torsional flows of polymeric liquids for intermediate shear rates. While it is known that soft deformable solids destabilize the flow of Newtonian liquids in the absence of inertial effects, our study shows that the effect of deformability can be opposite in the torsional flow of viscoelastic liquids.

    STRENGTH IN SEEKING SUPPORT: OLDER LATINOS’ ATTITUDES ABOUT CANCER
    Oxford University Press (OUP) ; 2019

    Abstract: Given the growing Latino population 60 years and older, the current lack of relevant data, there is an urgent need to understand their attitudes about cancer to ensure effective prevention, intervention, and psycho-social care. A survey exploring attitudes about cancer was developed and administered in Spanish. Using convenience sampling (N = 168), univariate analysis was done to understand the study population’s characteristics. Frequencies were assessed to understand participants’ responses to questions on cancer-related attitudes. The effects of age, country of origin, length of stay in the U.S., and marital status were assessed using logistic regression. The participants had a mean age of 67.9 years, 65.5% were female, 56.5% were married or living with a partner, and 35.5% had tertiary education. Most respondents were from South America (46.7%), with a mean length of stay in the U.S. of 25.8 years. A high number (91.0%) indicated a preference to know if they had cancer, and 87.5% said that they would share their diagnosis with family and friends. Of the respondents, 80.4% felt that cancer patients should receive care from a psychologist and that cancer improves if a patient is lively and positive (82.6%). Compared to college-educated individuals, those with a high school education were less likely to choose to know about a cancer diagnosis (β=-1.92, p & lt;0.01) or share it (β= 1.78, p & lt;0.001). Attitudes about cancer vary depending on the educational level of older Latinos and may impact treatment decisions. These findings can enhance cancer information and education for older Latinos.

    Abstract: Objective: Cancer remains the leading cause of death among Latino/as in the United States, and advancing age is a major risk factor for developing most cancer types. Given the growing population of Latino/as immigrants aged ≥60 years and the cur­rent lack of relevant data, this study aims to understand the cancer prevention and perception of cancer diagnosis among older Latinos to ensure that they receive effective prevention, intervention, and psychosocial care.Method: A survey exploring attitudes about cancer was developed and administered in Spanish. Using convenience sampling, 168 individuals identifying as Latino/as were surveyed in Tampa, Florida. Descriptive analysis was conducted to understand study population characteristics. Frequencies were assessed to understand the participants’ responses to cancer-related attitude ques­tions. The effects of age, country of origin, length of stay in the United States, and marital status on the participants’ cancer-related attitudes were assessed using logistic regression.Results: The mean age of the study par­ticipants was 67.9 years, 34.5% were male, and the mean length of stay in the United States was 25.8 years. In total, 29% and 24.4% of the participants knew that breast cancer and prostate cancer, respectively, can be diagnosed early. Individuals with an elementary education were less likely to have sufficient knowledge of cancer preven­tion and diagnosis. Additionally, 93.5% of the population was aware that tobacco use can lead to cancer, and 84.5% knew that exposure to tobacco smoke can affect both the smoker and their family.Conclusion: Older Latino/as possess knowledge about cancer causes yet lack knowledge regarding cancer prevention and diagnosis, potentially creating barriers and causing them to avoid treatment. Focusing on cancer-related health education among older Latino/as is a step toward appropriate and equitable cancer care.Ethn Dis. 2022; 32(3):185-192; doi:10.18865/ed.32.3.185
