Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVegetative Propagation by Root Segments Cuttings of Sclerocarya Birrea (A. Rich.) Hochst: Effects of Substrate and Mycorrhizal Inocula on the Ability to Root CuttingsAbdoulaye Herbert, Tsobou Roger et al.Sclerocarya birrea (A. Rich.) Hochst is one of the woody plants of the soudano-Sahelian zones, with great socioeconomic importance. The local populations over-exploit this species for their daily socio-economic needs and this endangered its durability. The objective of this study was to contribute to the domestication of this species by the low-cost technique of Root Segments Cuttings (RSC). The substrates … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 23 Aug 2022 · 6,522 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSocio-Economic Status and Health Issues of Older Adults in District Pabna, BangladeshSharmin Islam, Razibul Islam, Farhad Hossain, Provash Kumar KarmokarSince the healthcare facilities for older adults are limited we were intended to examine the health status and concerning issues with the consequences in the ground of the socio-economic condition of the Pabna district of Bangladesh. A total of 316 older adults were selected from the five villages from five Upazilas of Pabna Zilla from February 26, 2019, to May … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 14 Jun 2022 · 6,440 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSustainable Study of Self-Healing Concrete in Hot Desert ClimateBatoul Chamali, Moayyad Al-Nasra, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThe hot and dry desert climate is characterized by high temperature and high humidity. This affects the strength of concrete negatively by the difficulty of providing proper curing and by generating early micro-cracks due to the high temperature. These two issues have been addressed in this study by adding calcite precipitating bacteria to deal with the micro-cracks and by adding … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 16 May 2019 · 8,041 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNanoplastics in the Environment and the Effects on the ZebrafishJimmy De León, María del C. Cotto, Francisco MárquezPlastic is one of the most used materials in the world, adopted in almost all activities of human life, but due to the high persistence and durability in the environment, it is causing pollution problems. Through different processes, small particles of polymers are emerging and the effects on the health are still unknown. The Danio rerio (zebrafish) is a model … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 8 Oct 2019 · 7,695 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKey Structural Aspects for Adaptive Facades - Activity Progress from the EU-COST Action TU1403 ‘Structural’ Task GroupChiara Bedon, Dániel Honfi, Marcin Kozłowski et al.Adaptive facades are getting more and more widespread in modern buildings. These facade systems, among many others, need to fulfil the requirements of several structural considerations, such as structural safety, serviceability, durability, robustness and fire safety, being typically defined for standard facades and building enclosures in general. The current paper discusses special structural characteristics which need to be taken into … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 25 Jun 2018 · 13,375 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGilsonite Modified Asphalt for Use in Pavement ConstructionAliasghar Akbari Nasrekani, Mostafa Nakhaei, Koorosh Naderi et al.Properties such as durability and moisture resistance of asphalt concrete significantly improve pavement service life. When siliceous aggregate is used, then preventing moisture damage and stripping become distinctly required. Typically, stripping could be prevented by either using antistripping agents or by modifying the binders. The anti-stripping agent achieve its purpose by changing the aggregates' affinity for water through changing the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 3 Apr 2018 · 9,380 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Different Environments on Reinforcement Concrete CorrosionMohammed Thalji Awwad, Omar Asad AhmadThis research focuses on various forms of steel bar corrosion located in different environments and the factors affecting the corrosion process, both the external (surrounding environment around concrete elements) and the internal environment (concrete itself), as well as on the investigations and tests for this type of damage, in order to develop measurements and recommendations that will reduce harmful investment … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 15 Sep 2017 · 7,805 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractInternational Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research: A New Open Platform for Materials ScienceChiara Bedon, Mario D’Aniello, Andreas Luible, Flavio StochinoEditorial The International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research (IJSGAMR) is a new peer-reviewed, open access journal, which covers all aspects of theoretical and practical research of materials science. The journal aims to promote international exchange of knowledge and broad discussion on advancements, outcomes and recent developments in materials research for engineering applications.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Sulfonated Acetone Formaldehyde (SAF) on the Firing Resistance and Aggressive Attach of SRC-SF Composite Cement PastesRanda M. Osman, S. Al-MasryThis work aimed to study the effect of the dosage of laboratory synthesized Sulfonated Acetone Formaldehyde (SAF) on the physic-mechanical characteristics and durability of SF-SRC cement pastes immersed in 4% MgCl2 or 4% MgSO4 solutions or at elevated temperatures up to 800°C. The compressive strength of thermally treatment cement pastes with 1.5% SAF increases up to 600°C, then decreases up … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2015 · 7,137 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFractal Dimension for the Characterization of Asphalt Mixture PropertiesGiovanni LeonardiIn the design of asphalt mixtures for paved roads, the shape of solid elements has a great importance. In asphalt concrete, the shape of aggregate particles influences the resistance, durability, stiffness, fatigue response and the required binder content of the mixture. Fractal geometry is more suitable to describe the irregularity of the shape of aggregate particles. This paper describes the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 7 · 13 Jul 2016 · 7,181 accessesView PDFCite
