Sedimentary Mercury Enrichments as a Tracer of Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Assessment techniques for the evaluation of concrete structures after fire [PDF]
As concrete structures exposed to fire behave in most cases very well, it could be of economic interest to repair the fire damaged structure. For this purpose a damage assessment based on scientific research is required as first step.

A new technique for non-destructive field measurement of rock-surface strength: an application of the Equotip hardness tester to weathering studies [PDF]
Tafone-like depressions have developed on the Aoshima sandstone blocks used for a masonry bridge pier in the coastal spray zone. A thin layer of partial granular disintegration was found on the surface in depressions.

Compressive Strength Prediction Model of High Strength Concrete by Destructive and Nondestructive Technique [PDF]
Concrete’s compressive strength can be tested in a laboratory before construction begins. Since concrete is a natural material and cannot be destroyed, it is not possible to determine its compressive strength through destructive testing.
