Another wrinkle in patchwork of US environmental release

the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...

Graphene patchwork.

Graphene oxide (GO) holds tremendous potential for large-area electronics, high strength and conducting fillers in composites, and high-surface-area electrodes for energy storage. Graphene oxide for such applications will require manufacturing methods that are industrially compatible but also preserve its unique properties. Recent work by Korkut et al. describes a promising new scheme for conti...

Science fraud: from patchwork mouse to patchwork data.

Patchwork Terrains

We present a radically new method for the management, multi-resolution representation and rendering of large terrain databases. Our method has two main benefits: it provides a Ck representation of terrain, with k depending on the type of base patches; and it supports efficient updates of the database as new data come in. We assume terrain data to come as a collection of regularly sampled overla...

Wrinkle motifs in thin films

On length scales from nanometres to metres, partial adhesion of thin films with substrates generates a fascinating variety of patterns, such as 'telephone cord' buckles, wrinkles, and labyrinth domains. Although these patterns are part of everyday experience and are important in industry, they are not completely understood. Here, we report simulation studies of a previously-overlooked phenomeno...
