This research investigates the static and cyclic characteristics of recycled glass (RG) as a supplementary material with concrete aggregate (RCA) in rail track capping layer. RG was blended by-weight RCA 10% increments up to 50% content. A performance-based laboratory testing scheme designed according field loading conditions layers tracks. Basic geotechnical properties + blends were evaluated ...

The outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic not only has created a health crisis across world but is also expected to impact negatively global economy and societies at scale that maybe larger than 2008 financial crisis. Simultaneously, it inevitably exerted many negative consequences on geoenvironment which human beings depend. current paper articulates role environmental g...

In maize growing technologies, tillage technological operations are the most time-consuming and require the greatest fuel input. Substitution of conventional tillage, involving deep ploughing, by other reduced tillage methods can reduce technological production costs, diminish soil degradation and environmental pollution from greenhouse gas emissions, as well as improve economic competitiveness...

In a pilot investigation, aiming to develop new methodological insights into the study of perceptual modelling of the macro-prosodic organization of spoken Swedish, different aspects of the listeners’ variation were studied. Two listener groups, students at the beginner’s level and trained phoneticians, had to mark the most prominent words and the chunks they could hear in speech samples of spo...

In this paper, we propose languagespecific methods of sentiment analysis in morphologically rich languages. In contrast of previous works confined to statistical methods, we make use of various linguistic features effectively. In particular, we make chunk structures by using the dependence relations of morpheme sequences to restrain semantic scope of influence of opinionated terms. In conclusio...

It is common for a wayfinding task to involve travel across a familiar and an unfamiliar region that encompass different parts of the same route. Routes of this kind would entail schematized descriptions and the schematization would directly depend on the familiarity of the region being described. This paper presents a new formalization that identifies key conceptual elements of such routes and...

a stratigraphic section from the tirgan formation was selected in arkan village nearby bojnourd city in order to study echinoderm fauna systematically. many specimens of echinoderms, especially toxasteridae which is associated with brachiopods were collected and studied systematically in this paper. microscopie slides were also prepared and studied. all slides contain benthic foraminifers and c...

Twenty-seven species of hydroids were collected from the peaks (35-42 meters depth) of the Gorringe Bank (NE Atlantic) during the oceanographic campaign 'LusoExpedição Olympus 2008'. Twenty-one of these species are new for the Gorringe Bank that now has published records for a total of 37 hydroid species. Lafoeina tenuis, Sertularella ellisii and Clytia hemisphaerica were the most abundant hydr...
