Effect of Silica Fume on High-strength Concrete Performance
, 2020 Concrete is one of the most widely used construction and building materials. To produce high-strength concrete (compressive strength higher than 40 MPa) water/cement ratio has to be reduced up to 0.4 and more.

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) offers clear advantages for sustainable construction, including reduced density and improved thermal insulation. However, its mechanical and fracture behavior is difficult to characterize due to the heterogeneity and brittle crushing of porous lightweight aggregates.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes exhibit takeoff responses when presented to commercial permethrin headspace. This product elicits electrophysiological activity in the antennae and tarsi. However, only the chemical information acquired from the tarsi plays a major role in the observed behavioral response.
