Effects were evaluated of high dietary levels of magnesium oxide (MgO) or limestone on DM, OM and CP digestibility, N balance and intestinal absorption of amino acids by lambs fed a high concentrate diet. Twelve wether lambs equipped with abomasal and ileal cannulas were blocked by weight and breeding and allotted to treatments in a randomized block design in two consecutive trials. Diets were ...

We study the effect of particle cohesion on the steady state shear strength of a granular material. For cohesive powders, the steady state shear loci (termination loci) from DEM simulations are nonlinear with a peculiar pressure dependence due to the non-linear increase of contact adhesion with pressure in the contact model. Physical experiments are carried out on fine limestone powder in the d...

15 Biodiversity conservation is now about prioritisation, especially in a world with limited 16 resources and so many habitats and species in need of protection. However, we cannot 17 prioritise effectively if historical and current information on a particular habitat or species 18 remains scattered. Several good platforms have been created to help users to find, use and 19 create biodiversity ...

This research work investigates the durability-based properties of a ternary calcined clay and limestone powder blended Self Compacting Concrete by measuring short- long-term permeation using water absorption sorptivity testing. Also, variation compressive strength with age was evaluated at 7, 14, 28 56 days, while split tensile determined 7 days curing. The Mineralogy morphology SCC FT IR Spec...

This laboratory study was conducted to comparatively assess the effects of different fillers and moisture on mechanical properties performance asphalt mixtures. In study, a typical Pen70 base modified with four filler materials, namely limestone powder, cement, slaked (hydrated) lime, brake pad produce mortars that were subsequently used prepare Thereafter, various tests, dynamic uniaxial repea...
