Mechanical properties of double-solid waste cement stabilized Macadam by Rui Tao, Xuejiao Cheng, Yong Jin, Jiangang Qiao, Xue Zhang, Daehyeon Kim, Jinjie Liu

“…While the mechanical properties such as unconfined compressive strength and splitting strength will be reduced. (2) The mechanical properties of double-solid waste cement stabilized macadam mixture can be improved by partially replacing coarse aggregate with appropriate amount of recycled concrete aggregate with porous and rough surface, but it will adversely affect its shrinkage resistance. (3) The recommended particle size and replacement ratio of waste crumb rubber in double-solid waste cement stabilized macadam mixture are 40 mesh and 0.5%, respectively, and the recommended replacement ratio of recycled concrete aggregate is 75%. …”

Similar Conditions With Opposite Effects: Predation‐Risk Effects on Prey Abundance Are Highly Contingent by Scott D. Peacor, Clayton E. Cressler, Kevin L. Pangle, Alexandra V. Rafalski, Chao Song, Earl E. Werner

“…Any differences in the experiments would typically be deemed incidental, that is, they would not be given attention in methodology, nor be presented as factors affecting results or inferences. Therefore, any differences in the magnitude and direction of risk effects among experiments would indicate that risk effects on prey population abundance are strongly influenced by context in natural communities. …”
