Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation is a biomineralization process that has various applications in remediation and restoration of range of building materials. In the present study, calcifying bacteria, ...

Soil–cement bricks are vastly more energy efficient than fired clay bricks. Although they have adequate strength, they absorb high levels of moisture and in humid conditions they become soft and non-uniform expansion leads ...

Safety in process plants is at top in list of issues that are yet to be resolved fully. Recent accidents and their impact on economy,environment and human lives have raised this issue once again. There are many causes for ...

In glassy isopentane at 77 K, 1-phenyl-4-(4-pyridyl)-cis-1,cis-3-butadiene (cc-PPyB) and 1-phenyl-4-(4-pyridyl)-cis-1,trans-3-butadiene (ct-PPyB) can undergo simultaneous two-bond photoisomerization. Under the same conditions, ...

Here we study the effects of the Generalized Uncertainty Principle in the tunneling formalism for Hawking radiation to evaluate the quantum-corrected Hawking temperature and entropy for a Schwarzschild black hole. We compare ...

The striking similarity of the laws of black hole mechanics with thermodynamics was first established in the case of general relativity (GR). But the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian of general relativity is only the lowest ...
