Kombination und Rekombination in der Renaissance by Immanuel Ott

“…Such works can be distinguished by two fundamentally different compositional approaches, each of which entails its own problems: On the one hand there are compositions based on additive processes and contrapuntally sophisticated structures such as canons, on the other hand there are those in which a usually polyphonic model is fragmented and its components are recombined into a new composition. …”

Investigation on Dynamic Propagation Characteristics of In-Plane Cracks in PVB Laminated Glass Plates by Xiaoqing Xu, Bohan Liu, Yibing Li

“…Results show that the interaction between crack tip and stress waves as well as the propagations of stress waves corresponds to the fluctuations of DSIFs at crack tip. Both the structure and material variables are proven to play a very important role in glass cracking DSIFs and thus govern the crack propagation behavior. …”

Mechanical and Microstructural Properties of Bamboo Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Containing a Blend of Waste Marble Powder and Waste Glass Powder by Dejene Mengesha Gelanew, Belachew Asteray Demiss

“…Moreover, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed a denser microstructure, whereas X-ray diffraction (XRD) illustrated portlandite, calcium aluminum silicate, quartz, and calcium silicate hydrate as common phases of the concrete structure. Eventually, the experimental finding implied that using a 10% blend of WMP and WGP as a partial replacement for cement and 0.75% bamboo fiber improves fresh and hardened concrete properties.…”
