Abstract The use of recycled plastic in asphalt pavements represents a sustainable and economic choice which, if correctly designed, could significantly improve the resistance against typical distresses flexible pavements. For this reason, paper aims at evaluating mechanical properties two mixtures modified with plastomeric compounds through dry method, by comparing their results those obtained...

Road transportation has always been inherent in developing societies, impacting between 10–20% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). It is responsible for personal mobility (access to services, goods, and leisure), that why world economies rely upon the efficient safe functioning facilities. maintenance vital since need increases as road infrastructure ages based on sustainability, meaning spending ...

The traditional manual approach of pavement condition evaluation is being replaced by more sophisticated automated vehicle systems. Although these systems have eased and hastened management processes, research ongoing to further improve their performances. An average state road agency handles thousands kilometers the network, most which multiple lanes. Yet, for practical reasons, are designed e...

The present research investigates the influence of pavement distresses on traffic operational performance in terms speed and capacity. are expressed by condition index (PCI). Three roads multi-lane highways located road network Kafrelsheikh governorate, Egypt, were chosen as a case study. Road geometry, characteristics, volume collected manually from 23 sections for field data surveys. For meas...

'Stresses' that impact upon seeds can affect plant reproduction and productivity, and, hence, agriculture and biodiversity. In the absence of a clear definition of plant stress, we relate concepts from physics, medicine and psychology to stresses that are specific to seeds. Potential 'eustresses' that enhance function and 'distresses' that have harmful effects are considered in relation to the ...

Menopause is a critical stage of women's life associated with various complaints and distresses. Vasomotor symptoms (VMS), such as hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, and fatigue, are the most common menopause symptoms affecting about 50% to 80% of middle-aged women. Obviously, these symptoms, resulting from estrogen deficiency during menopause, can exert negative effects on women's ...

Rutting is one of the most important distresses in asphalt pavements due to its frequency. Rutting or channeling, could be classified in three types: 1) mechanical deformation (rutting in subgrade or base), 2) plastic flow (unstable asphalt layer), and 3) wheel path consolidation. The plastic flow of bituminous mixture depends on many factors; one of this is the type of asphalt used in the mixt...

Three main, interrelated reasons for widespread digestive disorders in the modern world might be chronic metabolic acidosis, low exocrine pancreatic function, and intestinal dysbiosis. Chronic metabolic acidosis mainly distresses two alkaline digestive glands: the liver and pancreas, which secrete alkaline bile and pancreatic juice with a great amount of bicarbonate. The acidic shift in the bil...

This study measures the level of cultural competency with respect to African American clients that exists among a national sample of outpatient substance abuse treatment (OSAT) units and determines the relationship of cultural competency to various characteristics of these units and their clients. The study utilizes cross-sectional data from the 1995 National Drug Abuse Treatment System Survey ...
