Comparison of the mineralogy and microstructure of EAF stainless steel slags with reference to the cooling treatment by Loncnar M., Mladenovič A., Zupančič M., Bukovec P.

“…The conditions during water cooling were not sufficient to prevent the crystallization of primary mineral phases, which occurs predominantly in air-cooled EAF S slags, probably due to the high basicity of the investigated slags. However, the water cooling of hot slag leads to the absence of γ-CaSiO4 and the formation of secondary mineral phases predominantly calcite, portlandite, ettringite, calcium aluminate hydrate and calcium silicate hydrate. …”

Controlled Release of Ropivacaine from Single-Armed (1-PCL) and Four-Armed PCL (4-PCL) Microspheres by Wei Xiong, Yue-kun Shen, Peng Dong, Ying Xiao, Xiong-qing Huang, Wen-qi Huang, Lu Yang, Xia Feng

“…In vitro release assay revealed that small crystalline grains interfered with ropivacaine release in 4-PCL microspheres during the initial release period, but then two kinds of microspheres showed a similar ropivacaine release rate. We basically proved that the architecture of PCL has a negligible effect on ropivacaine release. …”

Language and Sustainability, Linguistic Sustainability: Between Economization and Simulative Democracy? by Goranka Rocco

“…It then explores the question of how sustainability, hegemonic aspirations and monolingual or multilingual language habitus relate to each other, especially in an age of increasing economization of knowledge and growing ranking pressure on educational and research institutions: Is the goal of linguistic sustainability and the preservation of linguistic-cultural diversity seriously pursued and perceived as achievable, or are the corresponding key terms (multilingualism, diversity) primarily part of a basically inconsequential “post-materialist” discourses? …”
