Experimental determination of the initial compressive strength of concrete using a rebound test hammer

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2018
This paper deals with rebound hammer testing of concrete in the early stage of ageing. Six types of concrete were produced for the purpose of the presented experiment and differed in the water/cement ratio and were otherwise identical as to the input components.

The Global Epilepsy Needs Study (GENS): A mixed‐methods, multi‐country exploration of the unmet psychosocial and everyday needs of people with epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective While epilepsy research has largely focused on medical management and clinical outcomes, less attention has been given to the unmet psychosocial and everyday needs of people with epilepsy (PWE), particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries.

A Review of Overcurrent Protection in Smart Grids Under Cyber‐Physical Threats With a Cyber‐Physical Evaluation Framework

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
By manipulating current and voltage measurements, an assailant can induce unwanted relay action while attempting to avoid detection. Detecting advanced cyber intrusions in power protection environments requires specialised data analysis and anomaly detection methods.

Nutritional, Functional, and Anti‐Hypercholesterolemic Properties of Sourdough Breads From Unripe Plantain, Tiger Nut, and Fenugreek Flours

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Composite sourdough breads were developed from blends of unripe plantain, tiger nut, and fenugreek flours. Optimized formulations improved pasting stability and enhanced texture, producing softer more elastic crumbs. The enriched breads contained higher dietary fiber and bioactive compounds, and significantly reduced serum cholesterol markers ...

Uniaxial Compressive Strength of Antarctic Peninsula Rocks: Schmidt Hammer Rebound Test

Sains Malaysiana, 2017
The uniaxial compressive strength test is a destructive and time consuming test. A number of non-destructive methods using portable testing equipment are more applicable and easier to conduct. This paper presents the results of a systematic approach to determine the uniaxial compressive strength of rock material using the Schmidt hammer rebound test. A

Aftasten/Tantear: A sensorial, coalitional wayfinding among Muslim runners

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Muslim recreational runners in Muslim‐minority settings that take up running as their preferred form of leisure indicate that they feel they have to navigate a sense of exclusion when running outdoors. This article explores the process of exploration and sensing in public, represented by the Dutch verb aftasten, to investigate the way Muslim ...
