The goal of producing concrete that provides long-term durability with regard to characteristics like strength and reduced susceptibility to alkali–silica has led to the development of several high-performance materials. While the use of Bambara nut shell ash in concrete is gaining acceptance in various applications, the mineralogical composition o...

Composite materials based on natural fibers are increasing in demand in various sectors of industry because of their interesting specific properties. This work is a contribution to the valorization, of plant fibers from agricultural plantations in Cameroon, in fiber cement mortar (FCM). This paper studies the influence of the addition of oil palm m...

This paper discusses the effects of composition on the unit cell parameter (a), unit cell volume (V), specific volume (v), and density (ρ) of various sodalites including M8+AlSiO46Cl2\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackag...
Rapid measurements are valuable in food authentication. As a first step towards application of sound for fast food authentication, the influence of fat content and dilution of liquid milk/cream products on their ultrasound characteristics was examined. A total of 18 liquid dairy products, ranging in fat content from 0 to 60 g/100 g product, includi...

The assessment of pediatric bone mineral content and density is an evolving field. In this manuscript we provide a practical review and update on the interpretation of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in pediatrics including historical perspectives as well as a discussion of the recently published 2019 Official Position Statements of the Inte...

W360 is a hot work tool steel produced by voestalpine BÖHLER Edelstahl GmbH & Co KG, a special steel producer located in Styria, Austria. Surface tension and density of liquid W360 were studied as a function of temperature in a non-contact, containerless fashion using the oscillating drop method inside an electromagnetic levitation setup. For both,...

Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is a non-enveloped virus and it can be released from host cells through a traditional cytolytic manner. Now, we showed EV71 could be spread non-lytically between cells during early viral infection. In order to explain this phenomenon, we separated supernatant fluids of rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cells cultures infected with EV71 by...

The utilization of ceramic waste powder (CWP) is increasing in construction industry and influences significantly fresh and mechanical properties of concrete. However, these properties of concrete significantly changed if subjected to higher temperature. Thus, this paper presents the effect of partial replacement of cement to CWP with different wei...
Using Stratford as a case study, this research aims to address the lack of consideration for creating affordances of coexistence between local and global communities within areas subject to large scale regeneration projects. This process of chance in favour of attracting more affluent residents can lead to the complete displacement of local communi...
Density and viscosity results that can otherwise be found in the more concise form in the manuscript. The density sheet comprises experimental values, that have been collected from the TRC Thermodynamic tables, API 44, as well as the molecular dynamics predictions obtained through LAMMPS, and their uncertainties. The viscosity column sheet comprise...
