Waste Tire Particles and Gamma Radiation as Modifiers of the Mechanical Properties of Concrete by Eduardo Sadot Herrera-Sosa, Gonzalo Martínez-Barrera, Carlos Barrera-Díaz, Epifanio Cruz-Zaragoza

“…A novel methodology for solving such problems is based on use of ionizing radiation, which has proven to be a good tool for improvement on physical and chemical properties of several materials including polymers, ceramics, and composites. In this work, particles of 0.85 mm and 2.80 mm obtained from waste tire were submitted at 250 kGy of gamma radiation in order to modify their physicochemical properties and then used as reinforcement in Portland cement concrete for improving mechanical properties. …”

Revisiting Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus capucinus) and the Ancient Maya by Mary Baker

“…Michael Coe (1978, 1989) suggested that the Classic Maya (A.D. 300-900) associated these monkeys, especially howlers, with the arts exemplified in the Quiche Maya creation myth, the Popol Vuh, and in depictions of monkey‑men scribes on Late Classic (A.D. 550‑900) ceramics. Originally refuted by Baker (1992), this paper reevaluates the evidence from both papers, taking an ethnoprimatological, four‑field approach and integrating content from cultural, biological, linguistic and archaeological anthropology to discuss evidence that capuchin monkeys (Cebus capucinus) were also found within the Maya region in ancient times. …”
