Growth hormone was shown in histological sections of 25 pituitary adenomas from acromegalic patients by means of the unlabelled peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) technique. On the basis of the numbers of cytoplasmic granules, the cells of the adenomas were of two types: densely granulated and sparsely granulated. The densely granulated cells had abundant cytoplasm containing numerous granules, wh...

This paper reports the results of reproducibility experiments on the interlaboratory characterization of the acoustical properties of three types of consolidated porous media: granulated porous rubber, reticulated foam, and fiberglass. The measurements are conducted in several independent laboratories in Europe and North America. The studied acoustical characteristics are the surface complex ac...

Abstract Preserving natural resources and implementing the concepts of sustainable engineering to approach zero waste concept helped in reducing detrimental environmental effects last two-decade. Proposed re-using Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) as an alternate solution is get rid them profit from concurrently. In this process, GGBS used cement substitute material enhance mortar cha...

End-of-life tires (ELTs) represent a great source of readily available, low-cost and sustainable construction materials having excellent engineering properties. Their reuse (in the form granulated rubber mixed with soils) in large-volume recycling civil (geotechnical) applications would be beneficial should encouraged. It is estimated that at present worldwide only less than 10% ELTs are reused...

This paper focuses on research concerning the ecotoxicological properties of granulated slag from the pilot production of gray iron with red mud addition and concrete composites with the application of this slag. Red mud is a hazardous waste generated in the production of aluminium oxide. Negative ecotoxicological tests are, therefore, one of the basic prerequisites for the ability to use granu...

End-of-life tires (ELTs) are tires, unusable in their original form, which go into a waste management scheme (for recycling and energy recovery purposes), or otherwise disposed. In New Zealand, the annual disposal of 3.5 million ELTs is posing critical environmental socio-economic issues, reuse through large-volume engineering projects necessity. this study, gravel recycled granulated rubber we...

We investigated a method for producing granulated boehmite (BE) by using an organic binder and measured its phosphate-ion-adsorption capacity. BE was granulated using polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and its structure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses. The properties of granulated BE such as specific surface area, mean pore diameter, pore volume, ...

Because of their low unit weight, strong linear elastic deformation ability, good durability and high energy dissipation, mixtures waste tire rubber sand have been increasingly used as a new type subgrade filler in railway engineering. To investigate static dynamic characteristics granulated rubber-sand filler, consolidated undrained monotonic cyclic triaxial tests were carried out. The reveal ...
