Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Influence of the Climatic Factors on the Decay of Marbles: an Experimental StudyPaola Marini, Rossana BellopedeStone decay is affected by the influence of climatic factors. In particular marble degradation, that could be expressed by decohesion and /or bowing, is mainly due to the action of temperature and water (rains and relative humidity). In this work non destructive and destructive tests have been performed to evaluate the decay of marble slabs subjected both to natural exposition … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,128 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFull Scale Tests of Short-Term Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Bottom Ash Weathering Before Landfill DisposalFranco Marchese, Giuseppe GenonProblem statement: Natural weathering is the most economic method of treatment in order to reduce the release of heavy metals present in the residue. Approach: The aim of the study was to optimize the minimum weathering times that were useful to reduce the lead release to within the Italian limits for landfill disposal. The mechanism of short-term weathering of MSWI … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,157 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAging Study and Lifetime Estimation of Transformer Mineral OilMohammad R. MeshkatoddiniProblem statement: Power transformer is the most expensive equipment in electrical network; and the mineral oil has the main roles of insulating and cooling in it. Oil is subjected to the degradation because of the ageing, high temperature and chemical reactions such as the oxidation. Then the oil condition has to be checked regularly and reclaimed or replaced when necessary, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Mar 2008 · 11,104 accessesView PDF Cite
