EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF NEW INSULATION LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE BLOCK FLOOR BASED ON PERLITE AGGREGATE, NATURAL SAND, AND SAND OBTAINED FROM MARBLE WASTE

Experimental Study of New Insulation Lightweight Concrete Block Floor Based on Perlite Aggregate, Natural Sand, and Sand Obtained from Marble Waste

The purpose read more of the present study is to recover marble waste and expanded perlite aggregate (EPA) for use as an additive to cementitious matrix building materials.The main goal is to produce a new insulation block floor from lightweight concrete (LC) by mixing sand from the waste marble crushing process (SWM), natural sand, and EPA.First,

Mobile air quality studies (MAQS) in inner cities: particulate matter PM10 levels related to different vehicle driving modes and integration of data into a geographical information program

Abstract Background Particulate matter (PM) is assumed to exert a major burden on public health.Most studies that address levels of PM use stationary measure systems.By contrast, only few studies measure PM concentrations under mobile conditions to analyze individual exposure situations. Methods By combining spatial-temporal analysis with a novel v

A single nucleotide polymorphism in exon 3 of the myostatin gene in different breeds of domestic pigeon (Columba livia var. domestica) 32

Myostatin is considered to be one of the most powerful negative regulators of muscle growth.The lack of a functional myostatin or its mutation can result in uncommon musculature like "double-muscling" in Belgian Blue cattle.Recent studies on MSTN variability indicate its relationship with racing performance in dogs and 3m speedglas 9002nc racehorse
