Backfilling Shaft Surround Using Recycled Concrete Waste Material حسب Brown, John

"…Additionally, mock-up tests are scheduled to confirm the field attributes before implementation on site for shafts in non-traffic areas. Using RCA as shaft backfill is more beneficial from a sustainability perspective as it will decrease the carbon footprint by 70% when compared with using traditional backfill materials. …"

Acute and chronic toxicity assessments of 17β-estradiol (E2) and 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) on the calanoid copepod Acartia clausi: Effects on survival, development, sex-ratio and... حسب Emna, Djebbi

"…In contrast, embryonic stage revealed high vulnerability to E2 and EE2 acute effects. Embryos showed non-monotonic dose-response and hatching success was significantly reduced at low realistic concentrations of E2 (0.005, 0.5, and 5 μg L-1) and EE2 (0.05 and 5 μg L-1).Survival, development and sex ratio of A. clausi to EE2 exposure at 1 and 100 μg L-1 were also determined during a life cycle experiment. …"

Nanoclay compatibilization of phase separated polysulfone/polyimide films for oxygen barrier حسب Ammar, Ali

"…Thermal decomposition (TGA) measurements of PSF/PI films showed a decrease in thermal stability upon adding C30B due to its surfactant modification, while film mechanical tensile modulus properties improved slightly by adding low concentration of C30B (~ 1 mass%), but higher nanoclay loading decreased tensile strength and elongation at break. …"

Low electro-synthesis potentials improve permselectivity of polymerized natural phenols in biosensor applications حسب Monti, Patrizia

"…The natural phenol-coated electrodes were stable and responsive throughout 14 days. A biosensor prototype based on acetylcholine esterase and choline oxidase was electro-coated with poly-magnolol in order to evaluate the interference-rejecting properties of the electrosynthesized film in an amperometric biosensor; a moderate decrease in ascorbic acid rejection was observed during in vitro calibration of biosensors.…"
