The role of temperature differential and subgrade quality on stress, curling, and deflection behavior of rigid pavement

open access: yesJournal of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials, 2020
To determine performance of rigid pavement, pavement engineers should not only conduct stress, curling, and deflection analysis, but also understand weather conditions and subgrade quality effects on rigid pavement performance well.

Early-Age Response of Concrete Pavements to Temperature and Moisture Variations

open access: yesThe Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2010
In this paper, the early-age response of a Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement (JPCP) to temperature and moisture variations at the time of paving and immediately following construction is discussed. A newly constructed JPCP on US-30 near Marshalltown, Iowa,

Vacuolar Na+/H+ NHX-Type Antiporters Are Required for Cellular K+ Homeostasis, Microtubule Organization and Directional Root Growth

open access: yesPlants, 2014
Na+/H+ antiporters (NHXs) are integral membrane transporters that catalyze the electroneutral exchange of K+ or Na+ for H+ and are implicated in cell expansion, development, pH and ion homeostasis and salt tolerance.
