In this study, the volumetric behaviour, hydraulic permeability and micro-fabric of clay-polymer composites fabricated by the use of polyacrylamide polymers were experimentally investigated and discussed by use of theoretical multiscale approaches.
These various behaviors of plant nutrient elements can be explained on the basis of the diverse crystalline compounds present in biochars and their location within the micro-porous fabric of biochar.
The current study examines the time-dependent changes induced in the strength, mineralogy, morphology, molecular and micro-fabric characteristics of montmorillonitic and kaolinitic clays stabilized with a non-traditional calcium-based additive, which is commercially available under the product name SH-85.
This field illuminates threats to networked relationships and opportunities to understand the fabric of micro-organisational and micro-institutional inter-relationships.
How does Africa begin to rise when Ebola threatens at a very micro level the very fabric of communal support and trust, and at a macro level what will diplomacy look like six to twelve months from now?
The study demonstrated the value of observing and quantifying the undisturbed fabric of the micro structure in the examination of mineral cap fabric, and diagenetic and pedological processes acting on it.
By use of cluster-model, hydraulic permeabilities were found to correlate to the microscopic findings on clay micro-fabric.
The findings underscore the importance of interconnectedness of hard and soft systems at the micro level, with culture providing the backdrop for the social fabric of each community.
At the macroscale, the architecture of trabecular bone can be measured using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT), allowing for the assessment of morphological indices and the fabric of the tissue [ 21].
Inhering in fabric is, well, the fabric of our lives.
Although the tower-block buildings offer amenities such as toilets, they also threaten to destroy the fabric of a community in which homes, roofs and outdoor spaces transform into places of work and social interaction – the only way many of the micro-enterprises can operate.
