The immunomodulatory effects of the garlic organosulfur compounds allicin and Z-ajoene in an in vitro murine model of LPS-induced inflammation by Hitchcock, Jessica Kaari

“…Expression analysis of selected inflammatory genes was performed by qPCR on RNA harvested 4 h and 8 h post treatment, while protein expression was analysed by ELISA using cell culture supernatant samples harvested 8 h and 24 h post treatment. These experiments were complemented by gene and protein arrays. …”

Evaluation of the residual prestress force in aged railway concrete sleepers considered for reuse by Seketema, Nonofo Olefile

“…To address this gap, a study was conducted to determine the prestressing force of concrete sleepers post-design life using the dynamic relaxation method. The study involved sampling 21 P2 concrete sleepers, comprising eighteen old sleepers (manufactured in 1977) and three new sleepers (manufactured in 2006). …”
