Abundance of Rice Root Aphid Among Selected Plant Species and on Plants Grown With Different Soil-Surface Media [PDF]
, 2018 The rice root aphid, Rhopalosiphum rufiabdominalis (Sasaki), is distributed worldwide and colonizes a wide range of plants. However, relatively little is known about the suitability of different host plants, optimal rearing techniques, and the aphid’s ...

Mechanical Glass‐Backsheet Photovoltaic Modules Delamination: Toward Materials Recycling
Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.A new technology based on sanding has been developed to collect most of the materials contained in a photovoltaic (PV) module in the form of powders. A pilot line is now operational. This technology is specifically suited for Glass//Backsheet PV panels, which represent today the vast majority of the end of life PV panels.

EFFECT OF GRADING OF SANDY SOIL ON STRENGTH OF CEMENT TREATED SANDY SOIL
Doboku Gakkai Ronbunshu, 1992 セメントを安定材に用いた事前混合処理土の強度は, セメントの種類とその添加率のみならず, 処理対象土の種類, 細粒分含有率によっても変化する. 本文は, それらの原因を明らかにするため, 粒度を調整した山砂事前混合処理土の強度とその粒子間隙におけるセメント水和物の架橋状況, さらに水セメント比が変化した場合の粒度の影響を検討した. その結果, 処理対象土の粒度が, 事前混合処理土の強度に影響を及ぼすのは, 貧配合の場合に限られること, そして粒子間隙の小さいものほど, セメント水和物の架橋が密であり, 事前混合処理土の強度が増大することなどを明らかにした.

Strength properties of sandy soil-cement admixtures [PDF]
Geotechnical and Geological Engineering, 2009 Soil stabilization with cement is a good solution for the construction of subgrades for roadway and railway lines, especially in “noble” foundations layers, under the platforms, and mostly in transition zones between embankments and rigid structures, where the mechanical properties of supporting soils are very much demand full ...
