Technology and determination of the applicability of stone blowing at the current track maintenance

open access: yesВестник Научно-исследовательского института железнодорожного транспорта, 2020
Grain composition of track ballast is in a narrow size range, which provides maximum volume of ballast voids of 30–60 mm for category 1 crushed stone, 25–60 mm for category 2 crushed stone with round sieves and 22.4–63.0 mm for category B crushed stone ...

Timelines of the “free-particle” and “fixed-particle” models of stone-formation: theoretical and experimental investigations [PDF]

open access: yesUrolithiasis, 2016
Two major theories on renal stone formation will be reviewed, the "free-particle" and "fixed-particle" mechanisms. These theories combine data on intrinsic factors (inborn metabolic errors), extrinsic factors (diet), renal cell responses and the physico-chemistry and biochemistry of urine into mechanisms of stone formation.

The importance of mineralogical composition for the cytotoxic and pro-inflammatory effects of mineral dust

open access: yesParticle and Fibre Toxicology, 2022
Background Respirable mineral particles represent a potential health hazard in occupational settings and ambient air. Previous studies show that mineral particles may induce cytotoxicity and inflammatory reactions in vitro and in vivo and that the ...

Surface Charge Properties of Marble Powder and its Effect on the Formation of Hydrates in Cement Paste

open access: yesCrystals, 2020
Replacing part of cement with waste stone powder can reduce the use of cement, thus reducing energy consumption and CO2 emission. Different stone powders affect the properties of cement-based materials differently.

Analitic Investigation of the Regularities of Changing Dust Concentration During the Abrasive Decrease of Stone Structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In the process of repair or restoration of building structures, it is often necessary to strengthen building structures from limestone-shell rock, concrete, reinforced concrete, hard materials-granite, basalt, etc.

Variable fractionation of solar energetic particles according to first ionization potential [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The average composition of solar energetic particles (SEPs), like the solar corona, is known to be depleted in elements with first ionization potential (FIP) more than ~10 eV by a factor of approximately four.

An alternative origin for nanobacteria in kidney stones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Small (50e200 nm), calcium phosphate (apatite)-covered organic particles called nanobacteria or calcifying nanoparticles (CNP) seem to be ubiquitous in kidney stones and are thought to be involved in stone formation.

True grit: ingestion of small stone particles by hummingbirds in West Mexico [PDF]

open access: yesAvian Research, 2021
AbstractBackgroundGrit is used by birds mainly for grinding hard food items but can also serve a nutritional role as a source of minerals. Ingestion of grit by birds has been documented primarily in species that feed on seeds and invertebrates. Although feeding mainly on nectar and small arthropods, hummingbirds also ingest grit, but why they do so is ...

The pro-inflammatory effects of combined exposure to diesel exhaust particles and mineral particles in human bronchial epithelial cells

open access: yesParticle and Fibre Toxicology, 2022
Background People are exposed to ambient particulate matter (PM) from multiple sources simultaneously in both environmental and occupational settings.

Investigation of the Formation Process of Hazardous and Harmful Production Factors When Cutting a Stone for Construction Works [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Stone cutting for construction work is carried out by disk diamond wheels the rotation speed of which, and, consequently, the cutting speed is 35-50 m/s.
