Freeze–Thaw Performance Trends of Short-Term Cured Cement-Stabilized Aggregate Quarry By-Product Materials

Recent research studies conducted at the Illinois Center for Transportation focused on sustainable applications of quarry-by-products (QB) as pavement foundation materials and demonstrated the superior durability performance of dolomitic aggregate materials exposed to long-term cementitious reaction and repeated freezing and thawing. This study investigated the influence of QB chemical composition on the strength of cement-stabilized samples exposed to freeze–thaw cycles. Dolomitic QB materials from different quarries in Illinois and with different magnesium oxide (MgO) content, and a control limestone sample were chemically characterized by X-ray fluorescence and X-ray diffraction techniques. The QB materials were then stabilized with 3% cement and subjected to a 7-day curing period, followed by freeze–thaw conditioning. Unconfined compressive strength and resonant frequency tests were conducted to examine how the percentage of MgO and dolomitic minerals could alter the strength/stiffness with freeze–thaw cycles. Optical microscopy analysis was also performed to observe the extent of microstructure damage with freezing and thawing. Over the course of the applied freeze–thaw cycles, no notable minerology effect on strength or stiffness characteristics was observed for the short-term curing. Instead, performance was predominantly governed by physical properties, such as the particle size distribution, which played a more significant role after short-term curing. Well-graded QB materials with optimum packing, following Talbot’s equation with a 0.45 exponent, consistently exhibited the highest strength after any freeze–thaw cycle. The next phase of research, focusing on long-term curing, is expected to provide more insights into the chemical and mineralogical effects of QB materials on durability performance.

Errors in average strength estimates of sedimentary rock masses in South Yakutia based on geometric induction sounding data

The probabilistic model developed to describe the engineering and geological conditions for the operation of buildings and infrastructure in the city of Neryungri has been verified. The model is a power-function equation which correlates, by regression relationships, laboratory-determined compressive strength of saturated frozen sandstone samples with attenuation of the high-frequency harmonic field of a vertical magnetic dipole in warm permafrost composed of sandstone. The attenuation values were obtained by geometric electromagnetic induction sounding at a frequency of 1.125 MHz. The model verification was conducted at a fixed frequency on a section of the Amur-Yakutsk Railway located at a significant distance from Neryungri. The railway here is underlain by low-temperature dolomite masses. The statistical analysis indicates that the relative errors of the dolomite saturated strength estimates from the geometric EM induction data with a 73.0% probability do not exceed 20%. With this level of accuracy close to that of laboratory tests according to GOST 25100–2020, it is reasonable to suggest that the probabilistic model can be used region-wide in southern Yakutia to predict saturated strength of foundation materials composed of sandstone and dolomite. It can provide an effective solution for market-based construction and mining industries, as increasing anthropogenic and climatic impacts are anticipated to cause thawing and saturation of sedimentary rock masses.

Particle gradation effects on creep characteristics and the underlying mechanism in calcareous sand

Calcareous sand, a foundation material of marine origin, is an indispensable component in marine construction and has found extensive applications in building foundations and airport runways. The complex nature of the marine environment and the unique characteristics of calcareous sand present significant challenges for ensuring the stability and durability of engineering structures. To address these challenges, multistage loading triaxial creep tests were conducted on calcareous sands with different particle gradations to analyze their creep characteristics and underlying mechanisms. The result shows that the amount of ultimate axial creep strain is positively correlated with deviatoric stress but negatively correlated with the coefficient of uniformity (Cu). The creep process demonstrates a significant creep structure effect, characterized by creep rate lag and creep failure lag. The volumetric creep strain-time relationship at different creep stress ratios can be classified into three types. When the creep stress ratio is less than the stress ratio at the dilative point, the sample is first compacted followed by dilatancy; when the creep stress ratio is equal to the stress ratio at the dilative point, only compaction is obtained; as the creep stress ratio becomes larger than the stress ratio at the dilative point, pure dilatancy is found. The particle crushing modes and creep mechanisms of calcareous sand are also examined through meso-observations. It is found that the particle crushing modes can be categorized into three distinct types: grinding, angular breakage, and whole particle breakage. The particle gradation not only impacts the primary particle crushing mode but also governs the movement of particles and fragments, thereby influencing the occurrence of creep deformation. Specifically, a smaller Cu value corresponds to a higher fragmentation rate of the specimen, an increased number of overall crushing and angular fractures, a larger space for fragment migration after crushing, and eventually a greater creep deformation. Finally, a modified Burgers model is proposed based on the test results, which can effectively capture the creep deformation in the presence of creep structure effects and creep failure stages.

Assessing Genetic Relationships, Trait Associations and Diversity Patterns in Sorghum Germplasm Through Correlation, Cluster and Principal Component Analysis

Background: The loss of biodiversity has a significant impact on the fundamental services provided by ecosystems to humanity, including plant development and genetic improvement. Germplasm serves as the foundational material for identifying genetic variations. In this context, the examination of sorghum germplasm diversity has been conducted. Methods: The study involved 86 different sorghum germplasm samples that were assessed alongside three control groups, each replicated three times, during the Rabi season of 2021. This evaluation was conducted using augmented block design I (ABD I) at the Department of Millets, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University in Coimbatore. Result: The results of the Pearson correlation analysis revealed significant relationships notably, traits such as plant height, number of leaves, panicle length, panicle width, panicle weight, hundred seed weight and dry fodder yield exhibited positive and significant correlations with grain yield per plant. Cluster analysis identified four distinct groupings among the 86 accessions, with clusters 1 and 4 displaying the greatest diversity. Principal component analysis indicated that PC1 accounted for the largest variability. The genotypes were identified through PCA analysis is having greater variation and better performance. The findings of this study suggest that the identified sorghum genotypes could serve as valuable genetic resources for enhancing sorghum productivity in dry and semi-arid regions, particularly in the face of unpredictable climate change.

Three-dimensional printing of wood.

Natural wood has served as a foundational material for buildings, furniture, and architectural structures for millennia, typically shaped through subtractive manufacturing techniques. However, this process often generates substantial wood waste, leading to material inefficiency and increased production costs. A potential opportunity arises if complex wood structures can be created through additive processes. Here, we demonstrate an additive-free, water-based ink made of lignin and cellulose, the primary building blocks of natural wood, that can be used to three-dimensional (3D) print architecturally designed wood structures via direct ink writing. The resulting printed structures, after heat treatment, closely resemble the visual, textural, olfactory, and macro-anisotropic properties, including mechanical properties, of natural wood. Our results pave the way for 3D-printed wooden construction with a sustainable pathway to upcycle/recycle natural wood.

From Chingford to Carsington: impact of soil mechanics on dam construction, 1937–1987

In 1937 the investigation of the failure during construction of Chingford number 2 embankment dam brought the concepts of modern soil mechanics to bear on the construction of British embankment dams. Effective stress theory highlighted the crucial significance of pore-water pressure in understanding embankment stability and it became standard practice to monitor pore pressures during embankment construction using twin-tube hydraulic piezometers. By the 1980s, embankment stability might have seemed assured, with embankment design utilising limit equilibrium stability analyses that incorporated strength parameters of fill and foundation materials determined by laboratory testing. However, in 1984 the upstream slope of Carsington dam suffered a major slip in the final stage of construction. Recently developed advanced finite-element analyses were able to demonstrate that progressive failure was a major factor in the slope instability, but the failure was also a reminder of the continuing need for experience-based judgement in design.

Bicontinuous vitrimer heterogels with wide-span switchable stiffness-gated iontronic coordination.

Currently, it remains challenging to balance intrinsic stiffness with programmability in most vitrimers. Simultaneously, coordinating materials with gel-like iontronic properties for intrinsic ion transmission while maintaining vitrimer programmable features remains underexplored. Here, we introduce a phase-engineering strategy to fabricate bicontinuous vitrimer heterogel (VHG) materials. Such VHGs exhibited high mechanical strength, with an elastic modulus of up to 116 MPa, a high strain performance exceeding 1000%, and a switchable stiffness ratio surpassing 5 × 103. Moreover, highly programmable reprocessing and shape memory morphing were realized owing to the ion liquid-enhanced VHG network reconfiguration. Derived from the ion transmission pathway in the ILgel, which responded to the wide-span switchable mechanics, the VHG iontronics had a unique bidirectional stiffness-gated piezoresistivity, coordinating both positive and negative piezoresistive properties. Our findings indicate that the VHG system can act as a foundational material in various promising applications, including smart sensors, soft machines, and bioelectronics.

Effect of Pile Thread Spacing on the Friction Resistance of Minipile

This study aims to determine the most effective type of pile foundation between threaded sleeve piles with a 10 cm spacing and threaded pile piles with a 20 cm spacing, focusing on their frictional bearing capacity. Test specimens were prepared using reinforced concrete with a compressive strength of K-350 kg/cm2, reinforced with 4D10 mm longitudinal bars and Ø8-150 mm stirrups. Measurements of pile settlements were taken over several days to assess their behavior under load. Results indicated that piles with a 10 cm thread spacing exhibited a settlement of 3.7 mm on the first day, while those with a 20 cm spacing settled by 4.2 mm, with a percentage difference of 29.6%. The study concludes that rougher surfaces (tighter threads) yield greater frictional forces, thereby enhancing pile bearing capacity. Additionally, settlements tended to stabilize over time, with piles at 20 cm spacing experiencing a quicker cessation of settlement compared to those at 10 cm spacing. This research provides valuable insights for foundation engineering, material technology, and concrete construction practices. It also offers practical implications for the pile manufacturing industry.

Biogas from wastewater’s sludge as potential resource for transportation. Experimental approach.

Considering growing energy requirements and the quest for self-sufficiency in energy sources, the utilization of waste-derived materials has surged in various fields of research in recent years. Within this framework, waste waters, sludge, or slurries, biodegradable substances, second-generation effluents, and the resulting by-products have emerged as crucial substrates of interest to produce biogas through anaerobic digestion (AD). The objective is to employ these materials as the foundation for generating renewable energy, ultimately establishing them as the primary energy source for households or industries. This paper endeavours to assess, both physically and chemically, the waste industrial and urban wastewaters sourced from west Banat region as a foundational substrate material for co-fermentation alongside residual biomass from cereals. The results obtained are presented.

드라마를 활용한 한⋅일 피동표현 연구

Objectives The purpose of this study is to contrast passive expressions in Korean and Japanese utilizing drama. Since human language use serves as a tool for communication, passive expressions, frequently used in real-life situations, carry significant meaning. Although Korean and Japanese share similarities in vocabulary and syntactic structures, differences arise based on the concept and conditions of passivity. Moreover, Korean passive expressions exhibit a greater variety and lower productivity compared to Japanese, necessitating a systematic comparative study.
 Methods First, analyzing the drama ‘Misaeng,’ consisting of 20 episodes aired on tvN, transcripts of Korean dialogue and Japanese subtitles were compiled. The expressions and frequencies of suffix passive, syntactic passive, and lexical passive were extracted from the Korean dialogue. Second, the expressions and frequencies of passivity were extracted from the Japanese subtitles. Third, corresponding patterns and frequencies of passivity in both languages were determined, compared, and analyzed. Fourth, examples of passive expressions in Korean and Japanese were presented.
 Results Upon analyzing Korean and Japanese passive expressions, results revealed a total of 121 instances of suffix passive, with the ‘-이’ suffix being the most frequently used (56 instances), followed by ‘-리,’ ‘-히-,’ and ‘-기-’ in descending order. Syntactic passive amounted to 25 instances, with ‘-어지다’ occurring 19 times and ‘-게되다’ appearing 6 times. Lexical passive totaled 123 instances, with ‘-되다’ accounting for 83 occurrences, ‘-받다’ for 27, and ‘-당하다’ for 13. When Korean was in the passive form, and Japanese was not, a total of 176 instances were identified. This included 67 cases of suffix passive, 13 of syntactic passive, and 96 of lexical passive. Conversely, when Japanese was in the passive form, and Korean was not, a total of 226 instances were observed. This encompassed 27 instances of suffix passive, 57 of syntactic passive, and 76 of lexical passive. Additionally, there were 66 instances of Japanese passive that did not correspond to Korean passive expressions.
 Conclusions This study systematically examined and compared passive expressions in Korean and Japanese by analyzing subtitles in dramas, specifically focusing on the patterns of corresponding and non-corresponding passivity. The analysis revealed distinct differences rather than commonalities in passive expressions between the two languages, and through various examples, linguistic and cultural disparities were highlighted. The practical investigation of passive expressions in Korean and Japanese serves as foundational material for Japanese learners studying Korean, offering valuable insights into language and cultural differences.

Compaction and strength characteristics of lead contaminated lateritic soil treated with eco-friendly biopolymer for use as road foundation material

Reuse of unwanted soil material due to contamination is one of the available alternative to mitigate the depletion of natural construction material like lateritic soil. Lateritic soil can become contaminated as a result of mining activities. However, assessment of such soil for adequate compaction and strength development is a critical requirement for establishing foundation for road pavement failure of which can result in rapid deterioration of structural integrity of pavement. The research paper investigated the efficacy of Gum Arabic biopolymer (GAB) as eco-friendly additive, in enhancing strength development of lead-contaminated lateritic soil (LCLS) for use as foundation material for road pavement. Varying contents of GAB up to 25% of the dry weight of soil in 5% succession was used in treating LCLS. Compaction characteristics, Maximum Dry Density (MDD) and Optimal Moisture Content (OMC), and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) with microstructural analysis of the treated soil were assessed using three distinct compactive efforts: British Standard Light (BSL), West African Standard (WAS), and British Standard Heavy (BSH). With increase in GAB content, there is a corresponding rise in MDD, while OMC decreased across all three compaction efforts. Optimal CBR values were obtained at 10% GAB content across the three compactive efforts. The Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM) analysis revealed modifications in the surface morphology occurring at the peripheries of clay particles. The R-squared (R2) values of the regression models derived from statistical analysis of all dependent variables revealed that GAB, MDD, OMC and CE (compactive effort) collectively exert considerable significant effect over CBR values. However, the ultimate strength values fall short of the recommended thresholds for sub-base stabilization. This suggests that a GAB content of 10% enhances the characteristics of contaminated lateritic soil. However, it should not be employed as a sole stabilizer; instead, it could be considered as a potential admixture in cement stabilization.

A Case Study of Pavement Foundation Support and Drainage Evaluations of Damaged Urban Cement Concrete Roads

Surface cracks and joint deteriorations are typical premature failures of urban cement concrete pavement. However, traffic loads on the urban pavement are much lower than those on highways. Limited research has been conducted to investigate the causes of accelerated damage in urban cement concrete roads. To investigate the foundation issues that may cause the accelerated damage of urban cement concrete pavements, in this study, field evaluations were conducted to assess pavement foundation support and drainage conditions. Field visual inspections, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey, Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) test, and the Core-Hole Permeameter (CHP) test were performed. In urban residential areas with inadequate subgrade bearing capacity, cement concrete pavements are prone to early damage. Foundations with a higher content of coarse particles exhibit a higher CBR value, which can extend the service life of the pavement. The compaction of foundation materials near sewer pipelines and manholes is insufficient, leading to non-uniform support conditions. Moreover, the permeability of the foundation material can influence the service life of pavement surface structures. Foundation materials with fewer fine particles enhance drainage performance, contributing to a longer service life for PCC pavements. In areas with inadequate drainage, water accumulation reduces the bearing capacity of the foundation, thereby accelerating pavement deterioration. The poor bearing capacity and drainage conditions of the foundation lead to cavities between the surface layer and foundation material thus yielding stress concentrations on the pavement surface, which cause the formation of pavement surface cracks.

Objectives This study aimed to validate AI and English Integrated Teaching Materials for High School Students to Improve Machine Translation Literacy.
 Methods To accomplish this, we organized a group of experts in the field of English education and artificial in-telligence integrated education and conducted a Delphi survey. We collected opinions on the necessity of strengthening translator utilization skills, that is, machine translation literacy, as well as the goal, structure, and content of the classes, in order to validate foundational materials for lessons that enhance the utilization skills of artificial intelligence translation systems. After revising the contents, the second Delphi survey was conducted.
 Results The validity of each sub-question was analyzed based on .49 which is the standard value for securing content validity when the number of participants in the expert group was 15. As a result of the 1st Delpi survey, it was found that it was not valid in the content structure(.33), the content of the third class(.33), and the content of the third class worksheet(.46). After revising the contents, the second Delphi survey was conducted. Statistically significant figures were secured in all items such as class necessity, design, structure, and content of each class. The validity of the artificial intelligence convergence English education contents was secured, and the Delphi survey was completed in the second round.
 Conclusions AI-English integrated education is essential to improve Machine Translation Literacy. This study is of great significance in that it has validated AI integrated education contents that can strengthen Machine Translation Literacy by understanding the principles and differences of translators, identifying the causes of trans-lation differences, and judging translation errors. However, since Machine Translation Literacy and students' English skills are inseparable concepts, continuous research will be needed on integrated education methods that can improve them together.

Engaging with neuroanatomy through creative projects

ABSTRACT Students often struggle to learn material that requires extensive memorization (e.g., neuroanatomy) in courses like Sensation & Perception and Cognitive Neuroscience, though such foundational material is integral to understanding more complex concepts in the course. The “Creative Project” (CP) assignment is designed to engage students in learning this material. Alone or in small teams, students generate creative work on neuroanatomy content. Capitalizing on principles learning theories as well as universal design and inclusive pedagogy, the CP addresses the primary barriers to learning this content. Across two semesters, 70 students submitted a variety of projects: animations, songs, videos, children's books, activity books (e.g., crossword, word search & mazes), 3D models, poems, board games, online games, poetry, and visual artwork. Alumni/ae co-authors of this manuscript provide our feedback and reflection on this assignment from when we completed it. We found the project fun and engaging. We enjoyed the freedom and control, though some of us also found the open-endedness of the assignment to be daunting. We all recommended it be assigned in more courses, even outside of Neuroscience. Here, we describe how the CP can be used in a variety of courses, and what issues to consider when assigning it.

Fabrication of cellulose nanocrystals/carboxymethyl cellulose/zeolite membranes for methylene blue dye removal: understanding factors, adsorption kinetics, and thermodynamic isotherms.

This study introduces environmentally-friendly nanocellulose-based membranes for AZO dye (methylene blue, MB) removal from wastewater. These membranes, made of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), zeolite, and citric acid, aim to offer eco-friendly water treatment solutions. CNCs, obtained from sugarcane bagasse, act as the foundational material for the membranes. The study aims to investigate both the composition of the membranes (CMC/CNC/zeolite/citric acid) and the critical adsorption factors (initial MB concentration, contact time, temperature, and pH) that impact the removal of the dye. After systematic experimentation, the optimal membrane composition is identified as 60% CNC, 15% CMC, 20% zeolites, and 5% citric acid. This composition achieved a 79.9% dye removal efficiency and a 38.3mg/g adsorption capacity at pH 7. The optimized membrane exhibited enhanced MB dye removal under specific conditions, including a 50mg adsorbent mass, 50ppm dye concentration, 50mL solution volume, 120-min contact time, and a temperature of 25°C. Increasing pH from neutral to alkaline enhances MB dye removal efficiency from 79.9% to 94.5%, with the adsorption capacity rising from 38.3mg/g to 76.5mg/g. The study extended to study the MB adsorption mechanisms, revealing the chemisorption of MB dye with pseudo-second-order kinetics. Chemical thermodynamic experiments determine the Freundlich isotherm as the apt model for MB dye adsorption on the membrane surface. In conclusion, this study successfully develops nanocellulose-based membranes for efficient AZO dye removal, contributing to sustainable water treatment technologies and environmental preservation efforts.

An integrated physical-chemical system for concurrent carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus removal in municipal wastewater treatment plants

A substantial quantity of suspended solids (SS) present in municipal wastewater leads to the swift depletion of the ion exchange (IE) capacity of natural zeolites like Clinoptilolite (CIO). This limitation has become the primary factor contributing to the limited adoption of the IE technique within municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). However, an extensive lab-scale and pilot-scale study conducted over approximately one year has made it possible to efficiently apply the IE system using CIO (main grain size of 0.5–1.0 mm) upstream of the primary sedimentation tank (PST). The primary treated wastewater (PTWW) was introduced to the IE system either by pre-straining or without any pre-treatment. The IE system's capabilities for removing total suspended solids (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and phosphorus (P) while primarily focusing on ammonium (NH4+) recovery were undergone for a detailed investigation. Frequent backwashing, involving intermittent water and air injection, was used to mitigate clogging as the main problem of the IE system for treating PTWW. The results revealed a mean removal efficiency of 85 %, 60 %, 50 %, and 30 % for NH4+, TSS, TCOD, and total phosphorus (TP), respectively, per cycle exclusively for the IE system. As the system scaled up, a substantial reduction was observed in the adsorption capacity, shifting from approximately 12 to 1 g NH4+ (kgCIO)−1. Despite this drawback, the study's finding showed that prolonged treatment of PTWW for NH4+ removal and recovery in municipal WWTPs, besides substantially reducing carbonaceous pollutants, is applicable. Implementing this application will not only decrease the biological treatment costs for municipal wastewater but also yield valuable by-products, such as NH4Cl, which can serve as a foundational material for the production of ammonium chloride fertilizer. Therefore, transitioning to IE systems in municipal WWTPs will diminish the reliance on resource-intensive methods like the Harber-Bosch procedure for producing nitrogen fertilizer.

New 3D Printed Scaffolds Based on Walstromite Synthesized by Sol-Gel Method.

This study explores the potential utilization of walstromite (BaCa2Si3O9) as a foundational material for creating new bioceramics in the form of scaffolds through 3D printing technology. To achieve this objective, this study investigates the chemical-mineralogical, morphological, and structural characteristics, as well as the biological properties, of walstromite-based bioceramics. The precursor mixture for walstromite synthesis is prepared through the sol-gel method, utilizing pure reagents. The resulting dried gelatinous precipitate is analyzed through complex thermal analysis, leading to the determination of the optimal calcination temperature. Subsequently, the calcined powder is characterized via X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, indicating the presence of calcium and barium silicates, as well as monocalcium silicate. This powder is then employed in additive 3D printing, resulting in ceramic scaffolds. The specific ceramic properties of the scaffold, such as apparent density, absorption, open porosity, and compressive strength, are assessed and fall within practical use limits. X-ray diffraction analysis confirms the formation of walstromite as a single phase in the ceramic scaffold. In vitro studies involving immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 7 and 14 days, as well as contact with osteoblast-like cells, reveal the scaffold's ability to form a phosphate layer on its surface and its biocompatibility. This study concludes that the walstromite-based ceramic scaffold exhibits promising characteristics for potential applications in bone regeneration and tissue engineering.
