Effect of Cooling Rates on Mineralization in Portland Cement Clinker
(2015-08-12)
The rate at which cement clinker is cooled as it exits the kiln has long been
known to be an important factor in cement quality. Cooling rate is one of the
variables that has a significant impact on the minerals produced ...
Assessing the Impact of Changing Climate on Agriculture in Missouri and the use of Crop Insurance as Adaptation Strategy (1980-2010)
(2015)
Climate change and climate variability affect all sectors of the environment, but agriculture is the most impacted because food production is highly sensitive to weather. The impact of changing climate is evident in the ...
Structure and Mechanical Properties of Cement and Intermetallic Compounds via ab-initio Simulations
(2015)
Calcium silicate hydrates comprise a class of minerals formed synthetically during Portland cement hydration or naturally through various geological processes. The importance of these minerals is immense since they are the ...
