Reliable characterization of the pore structure is essentially important for transport-related durability studies cementitious materials. Mercury intrusion porosimetry has been commonly used measurement while ink-bottle effect significantly affects trustworthiness size features Pressurization-depressurization cycling mercury (PDC-MIP) an alternative approach previously reported with purpose to ...

BACKGROUND The Inuit in Greenland have a high average consumption of marine species and are highly exposed to methylmercury, which in other studies has been related to hypertension. Data on the relation between methylmercury and hypertension is limited, especially in populations subjected to a high exposure of methylmercury. We examined the relation between whole blood mercury and blood pressur...

MICP (Mercury Injection Capillary Pressure) is a standard procedure for core analysis. However, the use of mercury is forbidden in some environments and so far there are no alternative methods. NMR provides information on pore distribution but is not directly related to the capillary pressure. This paper presents a feasibility study for replacing mercury by water or brine (BICP: Brine Injection...

A reaction from various kinds of nitroquinoline with hydroxylamine in potassium hydroxide alkalinity produced a novel product, furazanoquinoline, besides the known amino derivatives. The products obtained were furazano [3,4-f] quinoline (5) from 5-nitroquinoline (1) and 6-nitroquinoline (6), and furazano [3,4-h] quinoline (10) from 7-nitroquinoline (8) and 8-nitroquinoline (11). The reaction me...

Owing to population growth and water demand, coastal aquifers all over the world are over–pumped, resulting in serious problems such as saltwater intrusion. So, in these conditions, assessing the groundwater system’s vulnerability and finding areas with saltwater intrusion potential are vital for the better management of aquifers. In this study, AHP-GALDIT was applied to saltwater intrusion vul...
