Abstract: Cold in-place recycling (CIR) is a pavement rehabilitation technique that can eliminate significant structural distresses while providing a sound, semibound base layer. Although various research groups have investigated ...

Abstract: he downward trend in Arctic sea ice extent is one of the most dramatic signals of climate change during recent decades. Comprehensive climate models have struggled to reproduce this trend, typically simulating a slower ...

Abstract: In this study, the density of powder metallurgy compacts was measured by means of small indentation. Zinc (Zn) and aluminum (Al) tablets were fabricated by cold compaction of powders: different ...
