PERFORMANCE ESTIMATION FOR CONCRETES MADE WITH RECYCLED AGGREGATES OF CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE OF SOME BRAZILIAN CITIES

Performance estimation for concretes made with recycled aggregates of construction and demolition waste of some Brazilian cities

The aim of this paper is to verify the influence of composition variability of recycled aggregates (RA) of construction and demolition wastes (CDW) on the performance of concretes.Performance was evaluated building mathematical models for compressive strength, modulus of elasticity and drying shrinkage.To obtain such models, an Sulphate-Free shampo

How do eubacterial organisms manage aggregation-prone proteome? [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/3k3]

Eubacterial genomes vary considerably in their nucleotide composition.The percentage of genetic material constituted by guanosine and cytosine (GC) nucleotides ranges from 20% to 70%.It has been posited that GC-poor organisms are more dependent on protein folding machinery.Previous studies have ascribed this to the accumulation of mildly deleteriou

Biomechanical properties of a buzz-pollinated flower

Approximately half of all bee species use vibrations to remove pollen from plants with diverse floral morphologies.In many buzz-pollinated flowers, these mechanical vibrations generated by bees are transmitted through floral tissues, principally pollen-containing anthers, causing pollen to be ejected from small openings (pores or slits) at the tip
