THE MODES OF AGRIPPA: ON THE REFUTATION OF THE GROUND OF ALL KNOWLEDGE


Performance estimation for concretes made with recycled aggregates of construction and demolition waste of some Brazilian cities

The aim of this paper is to verify the influence of composition variability of recycled aggregates (RA) of construction and demolition wastes (CDW) on the performance of concretes.Performance was evaluated building mathematical models for compressive strength, modulus of elasticity and drying shrinkage.To obtain such models, an experimental program

Complexity: a new paradigm for fracture mechanics

The so-called Complexity Sciences are a topic of fast growing interest inside the scientific community.Actually, COLONCARE 80BILLION researchers did not come to a definition of complexity, since it manifests itself in so many different ways [1].This field itself is not a single discipline, but rather a heterogeneous amalgam of different techniques

A homogeneous biosensor for carbohydrate antigen 153 detection in human serum based on upconversion fluorescence resonance energy transfer

Quantitative determination of carbohydrate antigen 153 (CA153) in human serum plays an important role in early diagnosis of breast cancer.In this work, a highly sensitive and selective biosensor for CA153 detection was developed based on a fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET) strategy, in which near-infrared (NIR)-excitable Store and Pour C
