Rheological properties of alkaline activated fly ash used in jet grouting appli...

The application of alkaline activated fly ash to soil stabilisation has been recently studied, and although the structural behaviour was adequate, some concerns were raised regarding its apparent viscosity, which proved to be an important issue in jet grouting applications. Therefore, this paper deals with the experimental study of rheology of alkaline activated fly ash-based grouts, namely with: setting time o...

Soil stabilisation using alkaline activation of fly ash for self-compacting ram...

This paper studies the effectiveness of alkaline activation of low-calcium fly ash on the improvement of residual granitic soils to be used on rammed-earth construction. Different liquid:solid ratios, alkali concentrations and Na2O : ash ratios were tested. Effect of calcium hidroxide, sodium chloride and concrete superplasticiser is also reported. Compressive strength up to 7 days at 60ºC was determined. Resul...

Residual granitic soil improvement for rammed earth construction

This paper describes the research developed to evaluate the performance of stabilised residual granitic soil from the north region of Portugal. It is part of a research project designed to investigate the possibility of using this soil for rammed earth construction. Since its reduced plasticity makes the use of lime less effective, and the increasing environmental concerns with cement production can no longer b...

5-HT1A autoreceptor modulation of locomotor activity induced by nitric oxide in...

The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) is the origin of ascending serotonergic projections and is considered to be an important component of the brain circuit that mediates anxiety- and depression-related behaviors. A large fraction of DRN serotonin-positive neurons contain nitric oxide (NO). Disruption of NO-mediated neurotransmission in the DRN by NO synthase inhibitors produces anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like ef...

Levantamento fitossociológico de plantas daninhas na cultura do girassol

O levantamento fitossociológico da comunidade de plantas daninhas na cultura do girassol foi realizado em duas épocas distintas: no desenvolvimento inicial da cultura (entre 20 e 40 dias após a semeadura) e na pré-colheita do girassol. As espécies de plantas daninhas foram identificadas e quantificadas pelo método do quadrado inventário (1,0 x 1,0 m), com amostragem de 12 m² por área. Os levantamentos foram rea...

Influence of corn sowing density and gliricidia intercropping on weed control

There is interest in the identification of the best seeding density for new corn hybrids and on reduced use of herbicides for weed control. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of seeding density (30, 50, 70, and 90 thousand plants ha-1) and weed control on green ear yield and grain yield in corn cultivar AG 1051. A completely randomized block design was adopted with split-plots (seeding dens...

Effect of hormone replacement on exercise cardiopulmonary reserve and recovery ...

Subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) patients present cardiopulmonary, vascular and muscle dysfunction, but there is no consensus about the benefits of levothyroxine (L-T4) intervention on cardiopulmonary performance during exercise. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of L-T4 on cardiopulmonary exercise reserve and recovery in SH patients. Twenty-three SH women, 44 (40-50) years old, were su...

Espumas vítreas do sistema Li2O-ZrO2-SiO2-Al2O 3 produzidas pelo processo gelca...

Espumas vítreas do sistema Li2O-ZrO2-SiO2-Al2O 3 (LZSA) foram produzidas pelo processo gelcasting, associado à aeração de suspensões cerâmicas, sem controle atmosférico. Por meio da adição de diferentes concentrações de agente espumante (Fongraminox) foi possível obter espumas vítreas com densidade relativa variando entre uma estreita faixa (0,10-0,15). As espumas vítreas apresentaram resistência à compressão d...
