The objective of this review is to point out that the global dialog on reducing greenhouse gas emissions in animal agriculture has, thus far, not adequately considered animal welfare in proposed climate change mitigation strategies.Many suggested approaches for reducing emissions, most of which could generally be described as calls for the intensif

In this paper, C50 high-performance concrete (HPC) containing manufactured sand was prepared.First, three different gradations of aggregates and three different types of admixtures with significant differences in specific surface area, porosity, and water ratios were used to prepare nine groups of concrete mixtures.Second, the effect of the aggrega

An Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR) based fiber optic sensor scheme “embedded„ in concrete for the purpose of structural health monitoring (SHM) of carbon concrete composites (C3) is presented.The design, while strengthening the concrete structure, also aims to monitor common SHM parameters such as strain and cracks.This wa
