Thermal and mechanical performance of concrete pavement dosed with calcined water treatment plant sludge by Thuany Cristine Rieck, Adriana Goulart dos Santos

“…Regarding the analysis of the thermal properties of concrete mixtures, it was found that the percentage of 10% WTP improved the thermal conductivity, contributing to the lowest temperature variation of the material. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis demonstrated that adding the sludge (up to 10%) did not change the material's pore structure. …”

Population dynamics of non-native Yellow Bass in Iowa’s natural lakes region by Jonathan R. Meerbeek, Seth M. Renner

“…We also evaluated the effect of Yellow Bass relative abundance and lake size on Yellow Bass size structure, growth, and condition. Our results indicate substantial variation in Yellow Bass population parameters among and within natural lakes of different sizes and infestation periods; however, some general trends were observed. …”
