Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Fly ash foam composite concrete (FFC) is a sustainable, lightweight alternative to traditional concrete. However, accurately predicting its compressive strength (CS) through conventional laboratory methods is challenging due to its non‐linear behavior induced by the addition of foam content and fly ash. Also, the laboratory determination of CS

Foam Concrete Performance Study Based on Experimental Analysis
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2015 In this paper, it studies the effect of the water-cement ratio, fly ash, PP fiber and high-performance expansion agent on the mechanical property and contractility of the foam concrete through experiments.

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract The Beqaa Valley in Lebanon has become increasingly polluted, and residents are attributing illness to improper waste disposal and dumping. This article explores local epistemologies of pollution’s causes and effects in three films, which were researched and produced by local residents of Bar Elias, a small town in the Beqaa, which has rapidly

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this article, I propose and define the concept of medical domination by combining insights from political sociology, Bourdieu's theory of domination, and intersectional perspectives. Drawing on a multi‐sited ethnographic study of abortion services in France, I analyse how a set of legitimised and institutionalised power practices shape ...

Photon-propagation model with random background field: Length scales and Cherenkov limits
, 2005 We present improved experimental bounds on typical length scales of a photon-propagation model with a frozen (time-independent) random background field, which could result from anomalous effects of a static, multiply connected spacetime foam.Comment: 6 ...

Macau as Method: Recombinant Urbanism in Post‐Socialist China
Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In ‘Asia as Method’, Chen Kuan‐Hsing argues for the value of an indigenous inter‐Asian approach to analysing the effects of European imperialism on the countries and citizens of Asia. This article mobilises both Chen's inter‐Asian referencing strategy and the city‐state of Macau to explore Macau's role in China's engagements with global ...

“I Can Do It, We Can Change It”: Protest as a Catalyst for Political Efficacy
Sociological Forum, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how protest episodes foster political efficacy among ordinary citizens. Based on 44 in‐depth interviews with participants in two major 2018 mobilizations in Spain—the feminist strike of International Women's Day and the pensioners' protests—the analysis identifies discursive expressions that reflect attitudinal change ...

Dynamics of loop quantum gravity and spin foam models in three dimensions
, 2004 We present a rigorous regularization of Rovellis's generalized projection operator in canonical 2+1 gravity. This work establishes a clear-cut connection between loop quantum gravity and the spin foam approach in this simplified setting.
