Comparative Investigation on the Properties and Molecular Mechanisms of Natural Phenolic Compounds and Rubber Polymers to Inhibit Oxidative Aging of Asphalt Binders by Fenghua Yang, Zhuang Hu, Hongyi Xi

“…In contrast, crumb rubber exerts its antiaging properties mainly in physical aspects, firstly by limiting the movement of asphalt molecules to reduce the contact and reaction of asphalt with O2 and secondly by counteracting the aging-induced asphalt hardening through its own degradation, thus partially restoring the mechanical properties of aged asphalt. …”

An Improved Algorithm in Porosity Characteristics Analysis for Rock and Soil Aggregate by Yanfang Wu, Xiao Li, Yu Wang, Bo Zhang

“…In this paper, we proposed an improved Ostu method to calibrate the beam hardening phenomenon which is caused by X-ray. Also, based on this Ostu method, the outline of rock blocks in RSA is extracted, and the double gray level threshold of soil and rock block is obtained to ensure the reliability of the porosity calculation. …”

Alterocupar-se: obliquação e transicionalidade na experiência literária by Alexandre Nodari

“…En segundo lugar, llevando eso al paroxismo, intentaremos argumentar, haciéndo un uso libre del concepto de objetos transicionales, que la oblicuación precede y hasta posibilita la ocupación del propio hogar, o sea, de que hay un privilegio ontológico de la ficción, de hacerese otro sobre la propia subjetividad.…”

Assessment of Meteorological Drought in Korea under Climate Change by Jaewon Kwak, Soojun Kim, Jaewon Jung, Vijay P. Singh, Dong Ryul Lee, Hung Soo Kim

“…To analyze the effect of climate change, spatial distribution of drought in the future is analyzed using the SPI time series calculated from Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) scenarios and HADGEM3-RA regional climate model. The results show that the Youngsan River and the northwest of Nakdong River basins in Korea have nearly doubled drought amount compared to the present and are most vulnerable to drought in near future (2016 to 2039 years).…”
