ECO2 framework assessment of limestone powder concrete slabs and columns

Hisham Tarek Mohamed Hafez

Producing limestone powder requires comparably far less energy than the production of ordinary Portland cement (OPC), making it a promising sustainable solution for partial replacement of OPC in concrete. Lower production energy could be translated into lo ...

Does powder averaging remove dispersion bias in diffusion MRI diameter estimates within real 3D axonal architectures?

Marco Pizzolato, Tim Bjørn Dyrby

Noninvasive estimation of axon diameter with diffusion MRI holds the potential to investigate the dynamic properties of the brain network and pathology of neurodegenerative diseases. Recent studies use powder averaging to account for complex white matter a ...

Ultrafast carbothermal reduction of silica to silicon using a CO2 laser beam

Jaeki Jeong

We report the extraction of silicon via a carbothermal reduction process using a CO2 laser beam as a heat source. The surface of a mixture of silica and carbon black powder became brown after laser beam irradiation for a few tens of seconds, and clear peak ...

A simple model-based approach to variable selection in classification and clustering

Anthony Christopher Davison, Vahid Partovi Nia

Clustering and classification of replicated data is often performed using classical techniques that inappropriately treat the data as unreplicated, or by complex modern ones that are computationally demanding. In this paper, we introduce a simple approach ...

Transparent Polycrystalline Alumina

Michael Stuer

Over the last century, the constant quest to improve the mechanical properties of ceramics has ultimately led to the appearance and production of transparent ceramics. Indeed, microstructural refinement and reduction of the residual porosity after sinterin ...

Microstructural evolution of a commercial ultrafine alumina powder densified by different methods

Mehdi Mazaheri, Masoud Aminzare

The densification and grain growth of bodies made from a commercial ultrafine alumina powder was investigated. The primary powder was initially subjected to dry (uniaxial cold pressing) and wet shaping (slip casting), followed by conventional (CS)-, two st ...

Planar micro-direct methanol fuel cell prototyped by rapid powder blasting

Martinus Gijs, Meng Shen, Ludovic Dovat

We present a planar micro-direct methanol fuel cell (μ−DMFC) fabricated by rapid prototyping powder blasting technology. Using an elastomeric mask, we pattern two parallel microfluidic channels in glass. The anode and cathode of the fuel cell are formed by ...

Structuration of the low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) using novel sacrificial graphite paste with PVA–propylene glycol–glycerol–water vehicle

Peter Ryser, Thomas Maeder, Caroline Jacq

A novel formulation for thick-film graphite sacrificial pastes is studied in this paper. It is composed of coarse graphite powder (grain size: 25 μm), dispersed in a vehicle consisting of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) dissolved in a propylene glycol (PG)–glycero ...
