Aerated concrete blocks (AC) are widely used as masonry in building construction because of their light weight and low density. Try to determine the strength, bonding, cracking thermal behavior aerated at different temperatures, mortar ratios thickness. The results show that temperatures above 100°C, strength will decrease cracks appear, bonding vary with thickness proportion mortar. Compared s...

releases are also needed to evaluate odor effects through science-based setback models (Lim et al., 2000). Odor Odor and gas release from anaerobic lagoons for treating swine is evaluated by determining odor concentration (OC), waste affect air quality in neighboring communities but rates of release are not well documented. A buoyant convective flux chamber (BCFC) intensity, and hedonic tone (H...

In most cases authors are permitted to post their version of the article (e.g. in Word or Tex form) to their personal website or institutional repository. Authors requiring further information regarding Elsevier's archiving and manuscript policies are encouraged to visit: a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f o Animal movements, residence times, and subsequently foraging strategies, should vary w...

Increased numbers of swine producers will be removing sludge from their anaerobic waste treatment lagoons in the next few years, due to sludge exceeding designed storage capacity. Information on availability of nitrogen (N) in the sludge is needed to improve application recommendations for crops. The objective of this study was to investigate possible effects of different companies and types of...

Detailed seasonal analyses of phytoplankton assemblages’ composition were performed on long-term datasets (20 years) two oligotrophic Mediterranean lagoons (Diana and Urbino), in order to test if community bloom events patterns rely a basis. Our results highlight similar between the lagoons, but different terms abundances, timing, magnitude occurrence Taxonomic Units, occurrence. Dominant diato...

Clay soil results in higher crop yield and quality than sandy soil. However, irrigation causes clay to slump easily, increasing compactness decreasing oxygen content. This study investigated the effects of dry seeding wet emergence on microenvironment cotton growth promotion Xinjiang silt loam fields. The experimental design included three aerated non-aerated treatments. showed that decreased d...

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic currently involves millions of people worldwide. Radiology plays an important role in the diagnosis and management patients, chest computed tomography (CT) is most widely used imaging modality. An automatic method to characterize lungs patients based on individually optimized Hounsfield unit (HU) thresholds was developed implemented. Lungs were considered as compos...
