The use of small granite slabs as a substitute for fine aggregate in heavy concrete

Urban construction and architecture
The influence of the content of granite granite slab (KGP) as a fine aggregate in a concrete mixture with proportions to the standard fine aggregate (Volga river sand) from its absence (control sample) is considered through the values 1:3, 1:1, 3:1 up to 100 %.

Substitution elasticities between capital, labour, material, electricity and fossil fuels in German producing and service sectors [PDF]

In this paper, substitutional relationships between capital, labour, material, electricity, and fossil fuels in German producing and service sectors are estimated using a translog cost function. Estimates are based on a pooled time-series cross-sectional

Clinical, histological, and serological predictors of renal function loss in lupus nephritis.

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Kidney survival is the ultimate goal in lupus nephritis (LN) management, but long‐term predictors remain inadequately studied, requiring long‐term follow‐up. This study aimed to identify baseline and early longitudinal predictors of kidney survival in the Accelerating Medicines Partnership LN longitudinal cohort.

Application of Rice Husk Ash as a Partial Substitute for Fine Aggregate in Concrete

Archives of Current Research International
Throughout the building era, concrete—a composite material made by humans—was mostly utilized as a binding element for structures. One of the industries in India that is growing the fastest is the building sector. Traditional building resources like bricks, cement, sand, and wood are becoming more and more limited as a result of the rapid rate of ...

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting
