Autogenous and drying shrinkage properties of precast recycled aggregate concrete

Case Studies in Construction Materials
Crushing prefabricated rejects into recycled aggregates (PRAs) and recasting them forms precast recycled aggregate concrete (PRAC), which offers superior mechanical properties, durability, and cost and environmental benefits compared to conventional RAC.

Globally Anisotropic High Porosity Silica Aerogels

, 2007
We discuss two methods by which high porosity silica aerogels can be engineered to exhibit global anisotropy. First, anisotropy can be introduced with axial strain.

Yeast strains as potential aroma enhancers in dry fermented sausages [PDF]

International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2015
Actual healthy trends produce changes in the sensory characteristics of dry fermented sausages therefore, new strategies are needed to enhance their aroma. In particular, a reduction in the aroma characteristics was observed in reduced fat and salt dry sausages.

Effect of Surface Modification of Polypropylene Fiber on Desiccation Crack Performance of Soil-Cement

Taiyuan Ligong Daxue xuebao, 2022
In this paper, digital image correlation (DIC) technology was used to evaluate the properties of fiber surface modification (alkali treatment, acid treatment, and silane coupling agent treatment) and fiber content (0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, and 1%) to alleviate ...

Influence of Mechanical Yielding on Predictions of Saturation: The Saturation Line [PDF]

, 2017
It is now well accepted that the mechanical and the water retention behaviour of a soil under unsaturated conditions are coupled and, that such coupling, should be incorporated into a constitutive model for a realistic representation of soil’s response ...

Improving mechanical properties of novel flax/tannin composites through different chemical treatments [PDF]

, 2015
Due to the inherent environmental benefits of using renewable materials, mimosa tannin resin (a natural phenolic resin) reinforced by flax fibres could offer desirable characteristics (lightweight, economic and low environmental impact) aiming at ...

dUTPase is essential in zebrafish development and possesses several single‐nucleotide variants with pronounced structural and functional consequences

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
dUTPases are involved in balancing the appropriate nucleotide pools. We showed that dUTPase is essential for normal development in zebrafish. The different zebrafish genomes contain several single‐nucleotide variations (SNPs) of the dut gene. One of the dUTPase variants displayed drastically lower protein stability and catalytic efficiency as compared ...
