Cemented materials in the LLW and MLW Spanish disposal
BWR and PWR cemented matrices to confine low and medium simulated liquid radioactive wastes have been submitted to the leaching process in de-ionized water at 20ºC and 40ºC, to obtain the medium leachability index (L) and the effective diffusion ...

ABSTRACT The infiltration of counterfeit, fraudulent, and suspect items into civil nuclear supply chains, notably within power generation and medical isotope production, poses severe safety and security threats. The ever‐increasing growth in nuclear installations (70 power plants are under construction and another 100 are in the planning stage) and the

Studies about the heat of hydration developed in mortars with natural and by-product materials
The heat of hydration developed in reactions of mortars and concretes can be sensibly reduced using pozzolanic materials. However, the decrease of the heat of hydration is not directly proportional to the amount of cement substituted, because of the heat

CMiNet: An R package and user‐friendly Shiny App for constructing consensus microbiome networks
Abstract Microbial networks offer critical insights into community structure, ecological interactions and host–microbe dynamics. However, constructing reliable microbiome networks remains challenging due to variability among existing inference methods, limited overlap between inferred networks and the absence of a gold standard (a universally accepted ...

Rendering mortars in Medina Azahara, Part I: Material characterization and alteration process
Rendering mortars, which are still exposed to the open air on some of the walls of Medina Azahara, are studied and characterized in this work. Some repairing mortars used in different previous restorations are also characterized. Those rendering mortars

Early age volume changes in concrete due to chemical shrinkage of cement paste
Unrestrained early age volume changes due to chemical shrinkage in cement pastes, mortars and concretes have been determined. The measurements were performed on sealed and unsealed samples which were stored under water.

Quantifying phenotypic plasticity: A call for consistency
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The interest of evolutionary, functional and applied ecologists in the study of phenotypic plasticity has grown considerably in recent decades. From being considered irrelevant in the mid‐20th century, phenotypic plasticity is now considered ubiquitous and essential for

Abstract The combined use of high‐performance fiber reinforced concrete (HPFRC) and prestressing systems in bridge construction offers significant advantages, including material and cost savings, as well as enhanced durability. However, the shear behavior of such elements remains still a topic of scientific debate.
