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.

Policy Networks and Policy Entrepreneurship in the EU: Explaining Structural Policy Change in Pharmaceutical Innovation Incentives and Health Technology Assessment

European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Policy process research has excelled in explaining structural policy change within national settings, but extensions and applications to the EU level have long proven challenging for scholars. Given that the EU is currently experiencing its longest period of Treaty stability since the 1980s—having evolved into a sui generis political system ...
