THE INFLUENCE OF SILICA-COATED NANOSCALE TITANIUM DIOXIDE ON THE MICROSTRUCTURE, MECHANICAL PROPERTIES, AND CARBONATION RESISTANCE OF CEMENTITIOUS MATERIALS

Nanomaterials possess great application prospects in improving the performance of cementitious materials.However, their high agglomeration hinders their efficient utilization in cementitious matrices.Consequently, surface modification has recently attracted attention as a method to enhance dispersibility.In this study, silica was employed to modify

Megatrends affect all individuals and organizations in our society.Mobility and flexibility are examples of megatrends that influence our everyday lives and also intensely alter the ways we work.The deployment of virtual teams meets the new chances emerging with these trends.Employees aspire to work virtually due to benefits, such as flexibility re

Proper surgical technique is crucial for optimizing wound healing and reducing scar tissue formation.There are numerous measures a surgeon can take to improve wound healing; however, the angle of the incision made at the surgical site has been suggested to potentially play a role in wound healing, particularly between beveled and perpendicular inci

This study examines business cycle fluctuations collegiate graduate saddle in selected Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries.The study measures the impact of selected real shocks, namely: terms of trade shocks, commodity price shocks, and government spending shocks, on macroeconomic fluctuations in SSA.The impact of the selected shocks was measured b

We study the computational complexity of the FO model checking problem on interval graphs, i.e., intersection graphs of intervals on the real line.The main positive result is that FO model checking and successor-invariant FO model checking salamander chameleon can be solved in time O(n log n) for n-vertex interval graphs with representations contai
