Portland Cement/Acrocomia Aculeata Endocarp Bricks: Thermal Insulation and Mechanical Properties. [PDF]

Materials (Basel), 2020
In the last few decades, Portland/residue composites have been researched due to their technological and environmental advantages. In this study, residues of Acrocomia aculeata (Jacq.) Lodd endocarp (AE) were introduced in the Portland cement–soil (PC) matrix in different concentrations (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 50 wt%) to produce PC/AE bricks.

Ontogenesis and functions of saxophone stem in Acrocomia aculeata (Arecaceae). [PDF]

Ann Bot, 2017
The underground saxophone stem systems produced by seedlings of certain palm species show peculiar growth patterns and distinctive morphologies, although little information is available concerning their development and function. We studied the ontogenesis of the saxophone stem in Acrocomia aculeata, an important neotropical oleaginous palm, and sought ...
