The Application of Equivalent Age Concept to Sand Concrete Compared to Ordinary Concrete by Nabil Bella, Ilham Aguida Bella, Aissa Asroun

“…The error was due to large superplasticizer dosage, which modified the hardening of sand concrete; the most influent parameter in Arrhenius law is apparent energy activation, to search for the value of the activation energy which gives the best simulation; a superposition is used of two curves of different temperature and with superplasticizer dosage 4% and several values of activation energy, 15, 20, 25, and 30 × 10 kcal. …”

Activated Carbon Fiber Monoliths as Supercapacitor Electrodes by Gelines Moreno-Fernandez, Joaquin Ibañez, Jose M. Rojo, Mirko Kunowsky

“…In the present work, monoliths were synthesized from two different ACFs, reaching 3 times higher densities than the original ACFs’ apparent densities. The porosity of the monoliths was only slightly decreased with respect to the pristine ACFs, the employed PVDC binder developing additional porosity upon carbonization. …”

Case Report: Testicular Pseudoaneurysm Rupture by Caroline Baber, Eshaan Daas, Michelle Mouri

“…Conclusion: While endovascular access is relatively safe, patients can develop severe complications such as pseudoaneurysm development and subsequent rupture that may not be obviously apparent on physical exam. Because of this, clinicians must have a high index of suspicion for arterial injury, and risk stratification should be used when selecting appropriate candidates for prophylactic procedures.…”

Paths to Polarization: How Extreme Views, Miscommunication, and Random Chance Drive Opinion Dynamics by Matthew A. Turner, Paul E. Smaldino

“…Third, noisy communication can drive a population toward more extreme opinions and even cause acute polarization. Finally, the apparent reduction in polarization under increased “cultural complexity” arises via a particular property of the polarization measurement, under which a population containing a wider diversity of extreme views is deemed less polarized. …”

THE NIGERIAN OIL RESOURCEAND SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUND: AN INTERROGATION by Joshua DANJUMA

“…Findings reveal poor political institutions, corruption and lack of accountability, weak executive control of oil resource governance with apparent inadequate checks and balances, and the resultant conflicts and clashes of interests, manipulations, and inflation of oil contracts with favouritism in allocating oil blocs to cronies.Therefore, this articleshades in a newlight by interrogating the Nigerian Sovereign Wealth Fund to ensure optimal benefits of oil wealth to all citizenry; it submits that measures must be adopted in building political institutions, reforming the Niger Delta Development Commission; diversification, building a welfare state, equitable distribution of oil wealth and the imposition of direct tax. …”
