Abstract Mine tailings (MT) waste valorization in construction materials can be one possible solution because they may allow an alternative for some applications as important contribution a more circular economy. The aim of this work was to study the feasibility using sulfidic mine tailing production building such ceramic roof tiles. introduction 5, 10 and 20% MT tiles promoted improvement on f...

To comprehend the principles underlying sensory information processing, it is important to understand how the nervous system deals with various sources of perturbation. Here, we analyze how the representation of motion information in the fly's nervous system changes with temperature and luminance. Although these two environmental variables have a considerable impact on the fly's nervous system,...

Firing temperature Ancient Potteries are among the oldest and most significant technological innovations in the history of human achievement, and were the first truly synthetic material. Spectroscopic techniques are very useful tools to achieve a detailed knowledge of the art works. In the present study thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis was carried out for pottery samples ...

The results of measuring shrinkage deformations samples made from dry mixtures the CALDE brand before and after firing at a temperature 800 °C are presented

Force and pressure sensing technology applied to smart surgical instruments as well as implants allow to give a direct feedback of loads to the surgeon lead to better reliability and success of surgical operations. A common technology used for sensors is low-cost piezoresistive thick-film technology. However, the standard thick-film firing conditions degrade the properties of medical alloys. In...

We recently reported that the terahertz (THz)-wave characteristics of pottery bodies varied significantly with firing temperature. This suggested feasibility conducting nondestructive inspec...

Abstract The thermal properties and evolution of mineralogy colour kaolinitic clay from the Terra Alta region were studied. these materials consists mainly kaolinite (13–27 mass%) quartz (48–86 mass%). Minor illite, hematite, K -feldspar calcite also occur. linear expansion absorption curves used to predict optimal firing temperature raw clays. During firing, 1100 °C water decreases steeply, du...

The effects of millimeter waves (mm-waves, 75 GHz) and temperature elevation on the firing rate of the BP-4 pacemaker neuron of the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis were studied by using microelectrode techniques. The open end to a rectangular waveguide covered with a thin Teflon film served as a radiator. Specific absorption rates (SARs), measured in physiological solution at the radiator outlet, ...
