This paper evaluates the self-compactibility of flowing sand-concretes (FSC) mixtures, incorporated various dune sand and marble powder contents, by testing flowability (determined by slump flow and v-funnel tests), passing ability (determined by L-box test) and segregation (determined by the visual stability index).The compressive strength at 28 d
IntroductionSuicide pacts are lethal acts of violence involving multiple decedents.No study has ever compared suicide pact types using a large sample, limiting our understanding of this rare but serious phenomenon.The objective of the current study was to describe suicide pacts in the United States and empirically compare suicide pacts wherein all
Pisum sativum L.ssp.arvense, is colloquially called tirabeque or mangetout because it is eaten Safety Trainers whole; its pods are recognized as a delicatessen in cooking due to its crunch on the palate and high sweetness.Furthermore, this legume is an important source of protein and antioxidant compounds.Quality control in this species requires th
We study an information-based mechanism of self-propulsion in noisy environment.An information swimmer maintains directional motion by periodically measuring its velocity and accordingly adjusting its friction coefficient.Assuming that the measurement and adjustment are reversible and hence cause no energy dissipation, an information swimmer may mo
