The swelling behaviour of expansive clays is strongly related to the interaction between clay particles. In this paper, a series constant-volume pressure and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) tests were carried out on MX80 bentonite/Callovo-Oxfordian (COx) claystone mixtures with different bentonite fractions dry densities. Results show that increased linearly increase in density. Additionall...

The maintenance of furnaces is one the most important problems for by-product coke production. Swelling pressure least studied factors affecting lining furnace walls. results studies swelling PJSC “Koks” feedstock coal are presented in this paper. Research has been carried out to identify dependence on quality indicators, estimated during incoming control central plant laboratory “Koks”. plasti...

In this article, detailed trials were undertaken to study the variation in genetic parameters order formulate more robust predictive models using gene expression programming (GEP) and multigene (MEP) for computing swelling pressure of expansive soils (Ps-ES). A total 200 datasets with ten input (i.e., clay fraction CF, liquid limit <msub...

A 2½year-old boy had the onset of pain and swelling of his penis during the past 3 days. The swelling and pain increased significantly within the past 24 hours. The child's penis is shown in the Figure. DENOUEMENT AND DISCUSSION PARAPHIMOSIS Paraphimosis is an urologic emergency that results when the foreskin is retracted away from the glans penis and cannot be reduced to its former position. ...

In this study the effect of high pressure CO(2) on the synthesis and characteristics of elastin-based hybrid hydrogels was investigated. Tropoelastin/alpha-elastin hybrid hydrogels were fabricated by chemically cross-linking tropoelastin/alpha-elastin solutions with glutaraldehyde at high pressure CO(2). Dense gas CO(2) had a significant impact on the characteristics of the fabricated hydrogels...

For a two-phase swelling porous medium, two pressures have been previously defined thermodynamically in terms of intensive variables for each phase: one relating the change in energy with respect to specific volume, and the other relating the change in energy with respect to volume fraction. Within the framework of Hybrid Mixture Theory and hence the Coleman and Noll technique of exploiting the...
