Vertical distribution of heavy metals in seawater column during IBA construction in land reclamation – re-exploration of a large-scale field trial experiment by Yin, Ke, Chan, Wei-Ping, Dou, Xiaomin, Lisak, Grzegorz, Chang, Victor Wei-Chung

“…It may be ascribed to various degrees of contact with seawater of IBA, seawater movements and particle resuspension. Batch leaching tests from the laboratory under different L/S ratios were conducted as the references to “effective” leaching behaviors in the large-scale experiments, suggesting that the batch leaching test with the liquid to solid ratio = 10 provide a closer estimation of IBA leaching concentrations during land reclamation. …”

Credit card cue effect : how mere exposure to credit card cues promotes consumers’ perceived financial well-being and spending by Wong, King Yin, Lynn, Michael

“…Design/methodology/approach: An experimental study was conducted with a sample of 337 participants to test the hypothesized model. Findings: After being shown credit-card cues, spendthrift participants had more spending-related thoughts and less debt-related thoughts, perceived of themselves as having better financial well-being, and consequently spent more than tightwad participants. …”

Use of ladle furnace slag containing heavy metals as a binding material in civil engineering by Xu, Bo, Yi, Yaolin

“…The chemical-activated LS pastes and LS-GGBS pastes were cured for different ages, and then subjected to a compressive strength test. The results indicated NaOH, Na2SO4, and Na2SiO3 could not effectively activate this LS, with 28-day strength <2 MPa, whilst the LS-GGBS yielded much higher strength, up to 15.6 MPa at 28 days. …”

Improvement of uniformity of biocemented sand column using CH₃COOH-buffered one-phase-low-pH injection method by Yang, Yang, Chu, Jian, Liu, Hanlong, Cheng, Liang

“…The uniformity of MICP-treated 1-m and 2-m sand columns was evaluated by comparing the unconfined compressive strengths and the calcium carbonate contents measured at different locations along the sand columns. The test results show that the proposed method is much more effective in improving the uniformity of the MICP treatment though a significant increase in the lag duration, given the other conditions the same.…”
