The design of repair mortars started from the characterization of the original mortar samples preserved in small areas in the floors of the Dungeon Tower, Bač Fortress. Two materials (waste brick and clay material) were investigated in order to select the pozzolanic material which later was a component of the repair mortar. Based on the compatibility test of the examined old mortars and of the ...

We consider the thermodynamics of minimally coupled massive scalar field in 3+1 dimensional Reissner-Nordstrom de Sitter black hole background. The brick wall model of ’t Hooft is used. When Schwarzschild like coordinates are used it is found that two radial brick wall cut-off parameters are required to regularize the solution. Free energy of the scalar field is obtained through counting of sta...

The recently introduced family of fourth generation eGaN® FET power devices provides significant improvements in electrical performance figures of merit, reductions in device onresistance, and larger die, enabling improved performance in high frequency, high current applications. These new devices provide a path to approximately double the power density of brick-type standard converters. This p...

A nontrivial connected graph is matching covered if each of its edges lies in a perfect matching. Two types of decompositions of matching covered graphs, namely ear decompositions and tight cut decompositions, have played key roles in the theory of these graphs. Any tight cut decomposition of a matching covered graph results in an essentially unique list of special matching covered graphs, call...

Sao Paulo Med J/Rev Paul Med 2002; 120(2):35. The history of lung cancer spans many years, and over recent decades excision of tumors has been considered as the only effective treatment. In 1933 Graham performed the first successful pneumonectomy due to lung cancer. In 1937 Ochsner and DeBakey first concluded that smoking is a cause of lung cancer. This important observation was confirmed by Do...

We generalize the brick polytope of V. Pilaud and F. Santos to spherical subword complexes for finite Coxeter groups. This construction provides polytopal realizations for a certain class of subword complexes containing all cluster complexes of finite types. For the latter, the brick polytopes turn out to coincide with the known realizations of generalized associahedra, thus opening new perspec...

We consider the thermodynamics of minimally coupled massive scalar field in 3+1 dimensional constant curvature black hole background. The brick wall model of ’t Hooft is used. When Scharzschild like coordinates are used it is found that apart from the usual radial brick wall cut-off parammeter an angular cut-off parameter is required to regularize the solution. Free energy of the scalar field i...

Time-dependent natural weathering processes suffered by historic bricks in Toledo (Spain) improve their physicomechanical properties by porous infill with gypsum, ettringite and mainly calcite. Both, these bricks and their experimental replica bricks, made from the original calcareous clays fired at the probable historical temperatures (700o 900oC), have been analyzed by X-ray diffraction, opti...

(2) a. These blockages can grow instance by instance, cycle by cycle, stone after stone, lifetime after lifetime, until the body starts to manifest these issues as disease b. Brick upon brick, stone upon stone they grow. c. She laid book upon book and built a staircase long enough to climb up and look over the wall. d. This mystery offers puzzle within puzzle. e. The Wall of Tears is a very big...
