The world-wide cement industry is seeking experimental avenues that will lead to cement production that is less energy-intensive, less damaging to the surrounding environment and less prolific in GHG emissions.In Spain and Europe in general, this approach is wholly consistent with the concept of sustainability and compliance with the Kyoto Protocol
Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Tool for Pork Pie Development
The traditional Thank You Cards British pork pie consists of roughly chopped pork cooked in a hot water pastry crust.Due to shrinkage of the meat during cooking, the gap formed around the meat is usually sealed using a gelatin based jelly to exclude air and thus help to preserve the pie.The properties of the jelly are such that it will ingress into
Investigating the failure mechanisms of cascade landslide dams under overtopping conditions: an experimental approach
Abstract Under strong earthquakes and extreme rainfall conditions, landslide clusters near rivers may block incoming water flows, forming cascade landslide dams.When subjected to extreme hydrological conditions, these cascade landslide dams can experience overtopping, which erodes and entrains material from the dam surface, compromising dam stabili
A Neonicotinoid Insecticide at a Rate Found in Nectar Reduces Longevity but Not Oogenesis in Monarch Butterflies, Danaus plexippus (L.). (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)
The monarch butterfly in North America has suffered a serious population decline since the mid-1990s.The introduction and widespread use of neonicotinoid insecticides during the same time period has been Sandals suggested as a potential driver of this decline but no studies have looked at the impact of these insecticides on adult monarchs.A brief l
