OPTIMIZING ASPHALT MIXTURES TO BE HEATED BY MICROWAVE

Proceedings 17th International Conference on Microwave and High Frequency Heating, 2019
Over the last ten years the concept of self healing in asphalt mixtures for roads pavements has been reaching great importance due to the fact that this capability allows a material to recuperate original properties after failure. This new generation of asphalt paving materials would allow road agencies to save no renewable resources as aggregates and ...

Urbanisation and human activities influence the co‐occurrence of red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris and meso‐carnivores in Berlin, Germany

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban expansion is a major driver of habitat fragmentation, shrinking wildlife habitat, and restricting wildlife movements and activity patterns. In this novel environment, species must adapt to the new composition of wildlife communities. For example, red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris are commonly found in urban environments, while their potential ...

The Use of Steel Slag in Asphaltic Mixture

Key Engineering Materials, 2004
Steel slag is a residue produced by refining iron to steel in open-hearth, basic oxygen and electric arc furnaces. It is liquid cooled from its molten state and has high density. The possibilities for the recycling of steel slag differ from country to country, depending on the chemical composition of the slags, steel making process, the national and ...

Effects of complex soundscapes on the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula in isolated green spaces in Tokyo

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban green spaces experience a mix of natural and anthropogenic noises, which could disrupt the vocal communication of several species. This study investigated how such complex soundscapes affect the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula, which communicates through calls, focusing on both sound level and quality.

TMSA‐Net: Transformer‐Based Multi‐Scale Attention U‐Net for Flood Image Segmentation

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flood detection is essential for real‐time applications, including disaster management, emergency response, and alerting people in flood zones. For successful flood detection, accurate flood region segmentation is essential. However, the flood region segmentation is challenging due to the complex background and occlusions with debris and the ...

Influence of Petroleum-Based and Bio-Derived Recycling Agents on High-RAP Asphalt Mixtures Performance

Buildings
Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) has been utilized as a potential partial substitute for virgin asphalt binder in asphalt mixtures. However, a primary concern with increasing RAP content in asphalt mixtures is the cracking potential, attributed to the ...

Adhesion forces in asphalt mixtures at nanoscale

CT&F - Ciencia, Tecnología y Futuro, 2017
ABSTRACT The adhesion forces between bitumen and minerals were measured, using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The AFM enables the study of the interactions between two molecules in a same surface or at interfaces and their behavior. In this case, bitumen samples with different properties were placed in contact with AFM modified tips.

ALL POSSIBLE PASTS: Heritage, Simulacra, and Gentrification in Seoul

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban heritage scholars have often criticized simulacra as ‘bad’ copies that degrade the ‘good’ model of the past through commercialization and gentrification. This article challenges such Platonic dichotomies of good/bad and model/copy, arguing that the binary of good heritage and bad simulacra is flawed because heritage is itself actualized ...

ESTABLISHMENT OF NATIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADING OF ASPHALT MIXTURES ACCORDING TO DSTU EN 13108-1

Дороги і мости
ntroduction. DSTU EN 13108-1 establishes requirements for asphalt mixtures used for the arrangement of pavement layers of roads, airfields, etc. These asphalt mixtures are used for arranging the base layer, binding layer, and a surface layer.
