Damage modelling in concrete subject to sulfate attack

In this paper, we consider the mechanical effect of the sulfate attack on concrete.The durability analysis of concrete structures in contact to external sulfate solutions requires the definition of a proper diffusion-reaction model, for the computation of the varying sulfate concentration and of the vive night splint consequent ettringite formation

A meta-analysis of the impacts of genetically modified crops.

Despite the rapid adoption of genetically modified (GM) crops by farmers in many countries, controversies about this technology continue.Uncertainty about GM crop impacts is one reason for widespread public suspicion.We carry out a meta-analysis of the agronomic and economic impacts of GM crops to consolidate the evidence.Original studies for inclu
