Recent developments in asphalt techniques for hydraulic applications in the Netherlands
Since 1945 and particularly after the flood in 1953 new means were developed to accelerate the construction of hydraulic engineering projects in the Netherlands. This development was initially related to paving sand dikes with durable materials.

Synthesis of functionalized polyolefins in a new continuous bench‐scale reactor apparatus
Abstract In‐reactor functionalized polyolefins (FPOs), produced by molecular catalysts, are a new class of polymer materials with applications ranging from high performance adhesives to bitumen compatibilization. In this work, we disclose a procedure for the synthesis of FPOs in a new Continuous Bench‐scale Reactor Apparatus (COBRA).

Human‐in‐the‐Loop Swarms: A Bionic Swarm Approach to Real‐World Soil Mapping
This article introduces the “Bionic Swarm,” a novel system that lowers the barriers to real‐world swarm validation by abstracting difficult hardware tasks to app‐guided human agents. We demonstrate the system's utility through the experimental validation of a geotechnical soil‐mapping swarm algorithm and show superior performance to baseline approaches

Use of high-volume reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) for asphalt pavement rehabilitation [PDF]
Master of ScienceDepartment of Civil EngineeringMustaque A. HossainBecause of recent rises in asphalt binder prices, state agencies and contractors are now willing to use higher volumes of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). In this project, the effects of

ABSTRACT This study draws on neo‐institutional theory, stakeholder theory, and the resource‐based view to examine the relationship between the use of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and firms' Environmental Performance (EP). Focusing on French companies listed on the SBF 120 index from 2002 to 2021, it investigates how LCA adoption influences EP across three

Evaluating Georgia DOT\u2019s compaction requirements for stone matrix asphalt mixes.
SPR00-0006-00(358)This study determined a compactive effort for Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) mixes with the Superpave gyratory compactor (SGC) that would match a 50-blow Marshall compactive effort using aggregates and mix designs common in Georgia. SMA mix

We analysed 16 years of census data from 27 protected areas across Iran to identify factors associated with population growth in the goitered gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa). Population dynamics were associated primarily with protection history and management characteristics and with water availability in surrounding landscapes, while broad‐scale ...

Urbanisation and habitat disturbance are well‐known to promote the spread of opportunistic and alien species, but their effect on alien land snails has seldom been investigated. This research aimed to test whether alien snails presence and abundance can be influenced by proximity to roads, water sources and human structures, as well as the site size ...
