Automatic program specialization has numerous application areas ranging from specialization of scientific computation to automatic compiler generation. During the last decade, several automatic partial evaluators have been developed and demonstrated their usefulness. However, none of these have both been for a typed imperative language and self-applicable. The main content of this thesis is the...

The nucleation of the C-S-H gel is a complex process, key to controlling hydration kinetics and microstructure development cement. In this paper, mechanism for crystallization step during non-classical proposed explored by atomistic simulation methods. portlandite precursor monolayers undergo chemically induced transformation condensation silicate dimmers, forming monolayers. We studied DFT nud...

The adsorption capacity of cement hydrates considerably affects the ionic ingress into cementitious materials. In this study, surface electrostatic properties calcium silicate hydrate (C–S–H) and aluminosilicate (C-A-S-H) were determined to understand effects on chloride adsorption. density functional groups was by analysing structure C–S–H C-A-S-H through 27Al 29Si MAS NMR. sites ?SiOH ?AlOH a...
