Swelling soil leads to many types of constructional damages, deformations, and failures in the constructions’ roads, shoulders, foundations. Depending on amount swell, they can be insignificant, moderate, or massive. This paper presents a method for swelling stabilization by adding rice husk powder (RHP) variable percentages 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 weight dry soil. The properties were investigated...

The clay and non-clay minerals have been identified by XRD analysis. The non-clay minerals include quartz, crystobalite, orthoclase, microcline, plagioclase, calcite, siderite and dolomite, and the clay minerals include kaolinite (52.39%), illite (36.39%) and illite-smectite mixed layer minerals (11.21%). Kaolinite is the most dominant component in the clay mineral assemblages. The clay mineral...

Plasticity of voice quality is defined here as the degree of improvement in deviant voice quality that can be achieved immediately or quasi-immediately by changing basic voicing conditions, posture, articulation or resonance, breathing mechanics, laryngeal position, or auditory feedback. Thirty-two adult patients with various benign organic voice pathologies, and who had a (preoperative) functi...

objective brain abscesses represent organized foci of suppuration within the parenchyma. here we report a 3 month-old girl with a very huge complicated cerebral abscess, and the course of treatment given. the patient's recovery was excellent. the follow up mri showed only subtle porencephalic changes as the only parenchymal sequelae, which may be due to cns plasticity in infants.

migraine is a primary headache which is very common in the society. although it is usually starts in a salient point in life span of an individual diagnostically, the repetition of acute stress response such as sleep abnormalities, anxiety, and depression are not new in this population. therefore, they have had almost a long diary of these abnormalities. in order to understand the role/s of str...

Global climate change may increase biological invasions in part because invasive species may have greater phenotypic plasticity than native species. This may be especially important for abiotic stresses such as salt inundation related to increased hurricane activity or sea level rise. If invasive species indeed have greater plasticity, this may reflect genetic differences between populations in...

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...

landmark based geometric morphometrics and comparison of meristic characters was used to understand potential differences between populations of waspi in mashkil and mokran basins. 97 specimens of waspies were caught (64 from mashkil river and 33 from sarbaz river). 14 landmarks were digitized on pictures taken from left side of specimens and meristic characters were counted. data were analyzed...

reelin is an extracellular matrix neuroprotein which plays important roles during development and maturation of cerebellum. in the postnatal cerebellum, reelin is synthesized by cerebellar granule cells and secreted to extracellular matrix. this secreted protein modulates adult synaptic function, neurotransmitter release and regulates plasticity. exercise has beneficial effects on central nervo...
