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

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

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