Submitted: Jul 2, 2013; Accepted: Aug 12, 2013; Published: Aug 29, 2013 Abstract: Concrete mix design involves determination of relative proportions of powder contained in the binder system, granular aggregates and water. The theory of particle packing (TPP) concepts can be used for rational proportioning of concrete mixtures analytically based on the measured properties of individual ingredien...

We thank Ryan Sullivan for his comment. We are aware to the need to precise the possibility to mixing between dust and organic compounds. The knowledge of this mixing is presented in the introduction of our previous paper Paris et al. (Atmos. Envir., 2011). We know of course his publications and the proposed papers, and some of them are cited in Paris et al. (2011). We had thought to save this ...

The process of mixing mineral components with organic binders in the technology preparation hot asphalt concrete mixtures is considered. As a working hypothesis, assumption functional relationship between power consumption electric motor agitator and resistance accepted. It necessary to establish dependence drive on various technological parameters. Experiments were carried out: laboratory prod...

We discuss the constraints of lepton mixing angles from lepton number violating processes such as neutrinoless double beta decay, μ-e conversion and K decay, K− → πμμ which are allowed only if neutrinos are Majorana particles. The rates of these processes are proportional to the averaged neutrino mass defined by 〈mν〉ab ≡ | ∑3 j=1 UajUbjmj | in the absence of right-handed weak coupling. Here a, ...
