In order to better use the old cement concrete pavement materials in the cement stabilized base of the reconstruction or new road. In this paper, metakaolin was used to replace recycled fine aggregate with different proportions to prepare cement stabilized recycled aggregate base mixture, and the physical and mechanical properties and dry shrinkage...

The way movement-based exercises affect targeted muscles is not always obvious. Side stepping with an elastic band around the forefeet is aimed at strengthening hip abductors and lateral rotator muscles, with the premise that it creates an external torque of adduction and medial rotation of the femur around the pelvis that needs to be counteracted ...

As a typical hard soil and soft/weak rock, the Xigeda formation is a set of Cenozoic lacustrine semi-rock discontinuously distributed in south-western China. Engineering practice shows that water exerts a significant influence on the mechanical properties of the Xigeda formation. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a...
Published in Comparative Migration Studies
Migration is the basis for development—economic, social, and psychological. In this paper I will examine borders on migration that entail the ambivalent relating by the societal context of migration to the act of movement of the people who become migrants, and their counterparts (“counter-migrants”) who do not. My focus on the issue stems from my t...

BackgroundStalk lodging (mechanical failure of plant stems during windstorms) leads to global yield losses in cereal crops estimated to range from 5% to 25% annually. The cross-sectional morphology of plant stalks is a key determinant of stalk lodging resistance. However, previously developed techniques for quantifying cross-sectional morphology of...
The fear of falling is pointed out as a psychological consequence resulting from the loss of functionality and balance inherent to aging. Maintaining good levels of physical fitness may be the key to preserve the quality of life and independence of the older adult. This study aims to verify the relationship of fear of falling with the physical fitn...

Endometrial cancer is strongly linked to obesity and inactivity; however, increased physical activity has important benefits even in the absence of weight loss. Resistance (strength) training can deliver these benefits; yet few women participate in resistance exercise. The purpose of this study was to describe both physiological and functional chan...

The comprehensive utilization of red mud had become a common problem in alumina industry. This paper presented a method for preparing red mud non burning cementitious material without frost return. The red mud from an aluminum oxide plant in Guizhou was used as the research object, and the effects of excitation time on compressive and flexural stre...
Introduction: Strength training is one most practiced modality by people and athletes in Brazil and around the world. The workouts combined with the practice and habits of bodybuilders, for example the intake of supplements is becoming more frequent in the gyms. With a lot of variety of supplements already known, creatine is one of the most scien...

Background: The World Health Organization has recently updated exercise guidelines for people aged >65 years, emphasizing the inclusion of multiple fitness components. However, without adequate recognition of individual differences, these guidelines may be applied using an approach that “one-size-fits-all.” Within the shifting paradigm toward an in...
