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

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 ...

Universities as the Next Counterintelligence Battleground in Geopolitical Contests

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Globally, universities are increasingly becoming the target of foreign national security actors, engaging in espionage, sabotage, foreign interference and intellectual property theft. Despite that, there has been no examination of the utilisation of counterintelligence approaches by universities to the threats they face from the subordination ...

Junctional sensitivity and atrophy progression rate of geographic atrophy secondary to age‐related macular degeneration

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To determine the relationship between the baseline junctional retinal sensitivity measured with microperimetry and the atrophy progression rate in eyes with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age‐related macular degeneration. Methods In this prospective cohort study, patients with GA were examined with fundus autofluorescence (FAF ...

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

Bio-deterioration of stone and concrete by Melanopsis praemorsa in Gan-HaShlosha national park—A case study

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2020
Gan HaShlosha national park contain two ponds of running brackish water. Dams were built on the ponds in the 80 s. Some masonary from the dams, as well as other underwater structure, have deteriorated.

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.
