Sealers are used to enhance concrete durability through their ability to prevent moisture penetration and chloride intrusion, consequently improving the freeze-thaw performance of the concrete and preventing corrosion of the steel reinforcement, respectively. This paper summarizes three years of comprehensive field and laboratory investigations which were undertaken at the University of Manitob...

Benecke1) was the first to report the isolation of Bacillus chitinovorus, a bacillus which decomposes chitin, from the sea water of Kiel Bay in 1905. Later, the bacillus was collected and studied mainly in Germany and in the United States, taking as sources various materials such as sea mud, sea water, fresh lake water, soil, compost, crustacea etc. However, the study of this bacillus has never...

In the fertile Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) delta, which spans boundary from West Bengal in India and Bangladesh, availability of freshwater is crucial to subsistence livelihoods protected ecosystems. Controlled by large tides widely variable river discharge, delta experiences rising salinity salt intrusion, as well seasonal flooding during monsoon. Future climate change projected increase r...

Marine bacteria have been arbitrarily defined as bacteria from the sea which on initial isolation require for growth a medium containing sea water as the diluent (ZoBell and Upham, 1944). The function of sea water in media for the growth of these organisms has never been clearly established. It has been stated, however, that neither isotonic salt solution nor artificial sea water is as good as ...

An assessment is made on the current groundwater use and further development potential in the hard to reach (HtR) areas of Bangladesh following a combination of secondary literature review and synthesis of primary information gathered from the fields. Also, primary analyses of groundwater quality, levels, recharge and use were done using secondary data. The findings reveal that the hydrogeology...

Abstract The first and second branches of the Tsushima Warm Current flow on continental shelf along break/slope in southwestern Japan Sea, respectively. branch corresponds to offshore side bottom temperature front between cold nearshore warm waters. Across edge, five bottom‐mounted ADCPs with sensors were deployed middle June late July 2014. At varied diurnal tidal cycle. cold‐water intruded in...
