Investigate and Comparison Effect add Amorphous and Crystalline - Nano SiO2 on Properties of Concrete [PDF]

Engineering and Technology Journal, 2015
In this paper, the study included the comparison between amorphous silica and crystalline silica (quartz), and with nano scale size, two types of silicawere added to concrete by ratios (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) as a replacement by the weight of cement ...

Determinants of case outcomes in Rwanda's postgenocide gacaca courts

Criminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Transitional justice trials have become a central mechanism for addressing mass violence and human rights violations, yet little is known about the determinants of case outcomes within these courts—particularly in domestic contexts. This study examines Rwanda's gacaca courts, a localized transitional justice system that tried people suspected ...

The social transmission of linguistic alignment: The role of observational reinforcement learning

British Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract People align their linguistic use in conversations, and it has been proposed that such linguistic alignment facilitates mutual understanding and social rapport. However, the mechanisms through which perspective alignment is socially transmitted across individuals remain unclear.

Concrete production using marble powder and marble coarse aggregates: an analysis of mechanical properties and sustainability

Budownictwo i Architektura
The growing demand for concrete driven by infrastructure and urbanization puts pressure on natural resources and harms the ecosystem. Using recycled materials like waste marble powder (WMP) and marble coarse aggregates (MCA) in concrete can address this

Out in the cold? A review of Early Middle Palaeolithic settlements in northern Central Europe, age data and geological preconditions for site formation and preservation

Boreas, EarlyView.
The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

HIGH SELECTIVE OIL SHALE MINING; pp. 305–325 [PDF]

Oil Shale, 2013
Several extraction technologies have been used for mining oil shale in Estonia. The quality and properties of the raw material for fuel and oil depend directly on the initial geological properties of the mineral resource.

Refining the timing of Middle Pleistocene (MIS 12 to MIS 6) ice advances into northern central Europe: sedimentological analysis and single‐grain luminescence dating of glaciotectonic complexes and tunnel‐valley fills

Boreas, EarlyView.
We summarize the current state of knowledge on the age of the Middle Pleistocene ice advances into northern central Europe and provide 25 new single‐grain feldspar luminescence ages of Elsterian and Saalian glacigenic sediments to constrain the age of the ice advances and their tentative correlation with marine isotope stages/substages.

Progressive Convex Hull Simplification

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Convex hulls are useful as tight bounding proxies for a variety of tasks including collision detection, ray intersection, and distance computation. Unfortunately, the complexity of polyhedral convex hulls grows linearly with their input. We consider the problem of conservatively simplifying a convex hull to a specified number of half‐spaces ...

Schmidt Hammer Rebound' users guide: IBM-PC/AT computer calculation of uniaxial compressive strength using the Schmidt Hammer

, 1986
Le présent rapport décrit le programme "Rebond du marteau de Schmidt" (Schmidt Hammer Rebound) qui permet de calculer la résistance à la compression uniaxiale de la roche à l'aide de nombres-indices du rebond du marteau de Schmidt. Ce programme est écrit en langage BASIC A Version 3,10 pour un ordinateur IBM-PC/AT.
