Lime soil treatment is a chemical process in which lime (quicklime, hydrated or slurry) mixed with the place subgrade and reaction takes place. The reacts clay particles to create cementitious matrix. design of landfill base liners including layer as fluid barrier (i.e. water-resistant impervious layer) requires neat engineering approach considering, particular, consolidation behavior well hydr...

Although disturbed sleep is a prominent feature of schizophrenia, its relation to the pathophysiology, signs, and symptoms of schizophrenia remains poorly understood. Sleep disturbances are well known to impair cognition in healthy individuals. Yet, in spite of its ubiquity in schizophrenia, abnormal sleep has generally been overlooked as a potential contributor to cognitive deficits. Ameliorat...

Sleep is known to elicit off-line improvements of newly learned procedural skills, a phenomenon attributed to enhancement consolidation of an internal skill representation. In the motor domain, enhancement consolidation has been reported almost exclusively for sequential-finger-tapping skills. The aim of the present study was to extend the notion of sleep-related enhancement consolidation to ta...

Increasing settlement and post-settlement survival during the critical transition from planktonic larvae to benthic juveniles will increase efficiency for sea urchin aquaculture. This study investigated the effects of temperature and settlement cues on the settlement and post-settlement survival of the sea urchin Tripneustes gratilla during this phase. The current commercial methodology, which ...

Laterite soil is an embankment that often used because it easy to find and widely found in South Kalimantan. However, this land has many shortcomings be as soil. This the lateritic a clay content high Plasticity Index (PI) value. So quality still questionable landfill. To overcome this, necessary improve or stabilize In study, was stabilized by addition of slag nickel study aims determine physi...

The soil engineering geological characteristics and hidden fault creep activity are the main factors affecting stability of Beijing–Zhangjiakou high-speed railway foundation. In order to reveal deep formation structure physical mechanical properties under foundation explore influence settlement static load dynamic railways, according deep-hole drilling test, this paper reveals within a 500 m bu...

Postshaking settlements observed during centrifuge tests of model levees resting atop soft compressible peat are compared with numerical settlement solutions. Two large-scale (9 m) and one small-scale (1 test analyzed. The models included extensive instrumentation consisting pore pressure sensors, accelerometers, bender elements, displacement transducers to measure levee response after the appl...

Accelerated long-term forgetting (ALF) is a form of memory impairment in which learning and initial retention of information appear normal but subsequent forgetting is excessively rapid. ALF is most commonly associated with epilepsy and, in particular, a form of late-onset epilepsy called transient epileptic amnesia (TEA). ALF provides a novel opportunity to investigate post-encoding memory pro...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the chest radiographic and CT findings of novel influenza A (H1N1) virus infection in children, the population that is more vulnerable to respiratory infection than adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study population comprised 410 children who were diagnosed with an H1N1 infection from August 24, 2009 to November 11, 2009 and underwent chest ...
