Kestävä, kestävämpi, betoni

Roomalaiset betonit ovat säilyneet vuosituhansia. Nykyisellä betonilla taas on hankaluuksia kestää edes vuosisataa.

Science Advances tutkimusartikkeli käsittelee mekanistisia näkemyksiä muinaisen roomalaisen betonin kestävyydestä.

Jos betonirakenteet korjaisivat itse itsensä, ei olisi tarvetta korjausrakentamiselle ja vältyttäsiin sen aiheuttamilta päästöiltä.

The seasonal #fluvaccine is less effective in some years than others. In a new study published in #ScienceAdvances, #StJude #scientists found mutations that can improve or impair #flu vaccines and may give clues to assess the #pandemic potential of flu viruses in nature. The group’s work suggests technically feasible and relatively cost-effective ways to improve the seasonal vaccine and pandemic flu prediction. #StJudeResearch http://bit.ly/3G14yky

This is a frankensteinian mishmash of results from older, recent, and upcoming papers, which I have somehow managed to cobble together.

Covers lessons learned about urban heat across scales and differences when using #heatstress metrics.

#Environnement : « En l'absence de #voitures, les #routes émettent tout de même des composés #polluants. Et dans des quantités significatives, selon une étude parue dans #ScienceAdvances. Celle-ci stipule que les routes revêtues d'#asphalte produisent des « #aérosols organiques secondaires », qui participent à la #pollution de l'air via des particules fines, dont le diamètre inférieur à 2,5 micromètres les rend particulièrement dangereuses. »
