THE EFFECTS OF MAXIMUM ATTAPULGITE AGGREGATE SIZE AND STEEL FIBERS CONTENT ON FRESH AND SOME MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF LIGHTWEIGHT SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE

The main Equipment Knobs objectives of this study were investigating the effects of the maximum size of coarse Attapulgite aggregate and micro steel fiber content on fresh and some mechanical properties of steel fibers reinforced lightweight self-compacting concrete (SFLWSCC).Two series of mixes were used depending on maximum aggregate size (12.5 a

Cluster analysis is an analysis that is useful in summarizing data by grouping objects based on certain similarity characteristics.One of the group analysis is Fuzzy Gustafson-Kessel (FGK) which is the development of the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) method.The FGK method has a good way in adjusting the form of cluster membership function correctly for a dat

Abstract Background Mycoheterotrophic plants are one of the most difficult plant groups to conserve because they are entirely dependent on symbiotic fungi.Establishment of viable culture systems would greatly aid their conservation.We describe a simple culture system for the mycoheterotrophic orchid, Gastrodia pubilabiata, Trainer Socks that does n

Abstract Coccidiosis, an intestinal disease caused by Eimeria parasites, is responsible for major losses in the poultry industry by impacting chicken health.The gut microbiota is associated with health factors, such as nutrient exchange and immune system modulation, requiring understanding on the effects of Eimeria infection on the gut microbiota.T

Recent research has suggested that increasing neighbourhood tree species diversity may mitigate the impact of pests or pathogens by supporting the activities of their natural enemies and/or reducing the density Womens sweatshorts of available hosts.In this study, we attempted to assess these mechanisms in a multitrophic study system of young oak (Q
