RAP agglomeration and partial blending of recycled hot mix asphalt: A literature review by Xinman Ai, Zhongshi Pei, Ke Xu, Wenyi Zhou, Ying Wang, Decheng Feng, Junyan Yi

“…Current mix design practices typically assume total blending and use the white curve of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) to determine the gradation and optimum asphalt content (OAC) of recycled hot mix asphalt (HMA), often overlooking the effects of RAP agglomeration and partial blending. This oversight can result in unsatisfactory performance, particularly when higher RAP content is used. …”

Characterization of agglomerated incremental lines of tooth cementum subjected to various temperatures by Faraz Mohammed, Rabiah Al-Adawiyah Rahmat, Wan NurHazirah Wan Ahmad Kamil, Bhaskar Dixit Chitradurga Subrahmanya, Sowriraajan Appathurai Venugopalan, Mohd Yusmiaidil Putera Mohd Yusof

“…Samples directly exposed to 600 °C exhibited significant structural damage and became extremely fragile, whereas the protected samples demonstrated partial preservation with agglomerated TCA. At 1200 °C, severe fragmentation and micro-fractures were observed, particularly in the directly exposed samples, rendering the TCA counting impractical. …”

Fertility and Family Formation in the Moscow Agglomeration during the COVID-19 Pandemic by V. N. Arkhangelskiy, E. S. Zayko

“…The article analyzes changes in fertility and marriage rates in the Moscow agglomeration in 2020–2022. The choice of the Moscow agglomeration as an object is due to the significant influence of the share of nonresident births in Moscow on birth rates in Moscow and the Moscow region, which should be, to some extent, eliminated in order to correctly assess the impact of other factors. …”

Spatiotemporal evolution and driving factors of eco-environmental quality in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration in China by Lemeng Liu, Jinghua Long, Wei Zhang, Jintian Yang

“…Abstract This study utilized Google Earth Engine (GEE) to compute the Remote Sensing Ecological Index (RSEI) and assess the spatiotemporal evolution of eco-environmental quality in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) urban agglomeration from 2000 to 2020. Additionally, Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to examine how climatic, topographical, urbanization, soil, and biological factors influenced eco-environmental quality dynamics. …”

Competition between fragmentation and defragmentation of сarbon black nanoparticle agglomerates under a degenerate optical microcavitation mode by Alexandra Shamova, Galina Shandybina, Dmitry Polyakov, Evgeny Kuzmin, Valeria Domazhirova, Andrey Belikov

“…A mechanism for defragmentation of carbon black nanoparticle agglomerates has been proposed based on the creation of prerequisites for water transition into the state of a supercritical fluid accompanied by partial agglomerate dissolution in laser-induced long-lived microbubbles at the cooling stage and on the decrease of agglomerate maximum heating temperature because of increased light scattering by long-lived microbubbles. …”
