Pozzolans have been used to improve the some properties of concrete and also to reduce the cost of producing cement. Many researchers investigated pozzolanic cements, which were mostly made with kind of artificial or natural pozzolans. While the most recent investigations on pozzolan containing cements study the effect of pozzolan type, replacement amount and fineness, this study was investigat...

the presented study shows a simple way for optimization of extrusion process, which was used for deterioration of cyanogenic glycosides – antinutritive components of linseed, with minimum damage of essential alpha-linolenic acid (ala) at the same time. extrusion of the material was done on a laboratory single screw extruder. content of hydrogen cyanide (hcn) as a measurement of cyanogenic glyco...

Abstract In functionally graded heat-resisting material, the volume fraction of constituents varies and continuously, these are examined for high temperature engineering applications. By spatial distribution thermal behaviour FGMs is strongly influenced. Thus, determination becomes a critical part in FGM design given loading condition specification. present work, averaging estimation approach v...

Enzyme-mediated decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) is controlled, amongst other factors, by organic matter properties and by the microbial decomposer community present. Since microbial community composition and SOM properties are often interrelated and both change with soil depth, the drivers of enzymatic decomposition are hard to dissect. We investigated soils from three regions in the...
