among the most common types of problematic soils, are probably the expansive ones. one of the modern methods of strengthening and improving the soil in place is the use of electro-osmotic improving treatment. this paper presents the design of an apparatus suitable for electro-osmotic treatment. a soil sample of a high expansive potential was compacted and the effect of electro-osmotic treatment...

Cell walls are part of the apoplasm pathway that transports water, solutes, and nutrients to cells within plant tissue. Pressures within the apoplasm (cell walls and xylem) are often different from atmospheric pressure during expansive growth of plant cells in tissue. The previously established Augmented Growth Equations are modified to evaluate the turgor pressure, water uptake, and expansive ...

The paper summarizes the background of Expansive Nondecelerative Universe model and its potential to offer answers to some open cosmological questions related to entropy. Three problems are faced in more detail, namely that of Hawking's phenomenon of black holes evaporation, maximum entropy of the Universe during its evolution, and time evolution of specific entropy. 1. Background of Expansive ...

BACKGROUND Inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity after balloon angioplasty by intraperitoneal injection of batimastat reduces late lumen loss by inhibition of constrictive remodeling. In the present study, we investigated whether the oral MMP inhibitor marimastat inhibits constrictive remodeling in favor of neutral or expansive remodeling. METHODS AND RESULTS In 26 pigs, ballo...
