The tests conducted on specimens and the numbers and dimensions of each kind of specimens produced in this study are different with each other.
Obviously, the size and shape of IOT grains are smaller and more irregular respectively than those of NS ones.
Comparing to mortars with NS as fine aggregate, those with IOT as fine aggregate, the size and shape of IOT grains are both finer and more irregular respectively. 2.
In summary, comparing to reference sand, as fine aggregate, iron ore tailings can enhance compressive strength related to its finer and more irregular grain shape and the ability on complicating porous structure in mortars.

Therefore, recently improved efficiency of TiO2 based photocatalysts is associated with the synthesis of the anatase crystalline particles containing a greater number of unstable faces (001) [5-6], or thermodynamically less stable TiO2 modifications, such as brookite [6-7].
Thus, having been heated to 300°С in vacuum and in air, TiO2 film structure can be represented as an amorphous matrix with separate anatase crystal grains.
Temperature increase to 400°С leads to increase of existing anatase crystal grains and formation of new rutile crystal grains in TiO2 films, but does not transform it into crystalline state.

However, samples subjected to bacterially induced mineralization showed much less damage, and the newly formed carbonate grains were not removed in detectable amounts.
However, samples subjected to bacterially induced mineralization showed much less damage, and the deposit grains were not removed in detectable amounts(Fig. 5, Fig. 6).
SEM observations and weight loss measurements of sonicated samples demonstrate the strong adhesion between the samples and the deposit grains, as well as the positive consolidating and/or protecting effect of the biodeposition. 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8 1.9 2.0 a △Wt / % Time / min culture sonicated control sonicated uninoculation sonicated fresh sonicated culture non-sonicated control non-sonicated fresh non-sonicated 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 0.00 0.05 0.10 0.15 0.20 0.25 0.30 0.35 0.40 0.45 0.50 0.55 0.60 b △Wt / % Time / min culture sonicated control sonicated uninoculation sonicated fresh sonicated culture non-sonicated control non-sonicated fresh non-sonicated (a) Concrete (Urea-CaCl2) (b) Marble (Urea-CaCl2) Figure 8: Mass loss (△W) vs ultrasonication time of samples Conclusionss Bacterially induced mineralization

Introduction The prolonged life-expectancy leads to an increasing number of people that require the replacements of degenerated or damaged tissues by artificial materials.
In all studied cold swaged (with minimal section reduction 75%) and solution treated specimens the microstructure consists of equiaxed β-grains (see Fig. 6).
During aging treatment (450°C/8h/water quenched) of cold swaged (section reduction 90%) specimen with the lowest oxygen content fine needle-like α-particles precipitated in grain interiors.
There can be also observed coarser precipitates on grain boundaries, which can be also distinguished in light micrographs (Fig. 7a,b).

N is the total number of slip systems.
The hardening is contributed by dislocations at both global and local slip systems levels within a grain.

After compaction and thermomechanical processing, the alloy is recrystallised to generate a coarse microstructure showing high grain aspect ratio to avoid as much as possible that the creep resistance be impaired by grain boundary sliding or the formation of grain boundary creep pores.
Therefore, an estimate of εc can be obtained directly from only the measurement of height h of a larger number of trajectories.

Mainly because the sand ratio increases to a certain extent, proppant grain distribution is dense, the reunion phenomenon occurred in a fracturing fluid,and fracturing fluid viscosity makes the dense sand particles group act like a big particles, equivalent to greatly increase the particle diameter, causing particle settling velocity increase.This phenomenon is also referred to as "particle reunion" effect. 3.4 correlations for critical sedimentation velocity and particle settling velocity Through the analysis of the above experimental results, considering the influences of sand ratio, temperature and foam quality on proppant settling velocity and critical settling velocity of fracturing fluid, the type(1) and (2) are fitting results to show correlations form calculated the particle settling velocity ut and critical settling velocity Vcr of fracturing fluid, the average error are 12.32% and 13.5% respectively:
The proppant grain density is about 1700 kg·m-3. the type scope of application is: 0≤CS≤10%, 10%≤Г≤85%, 40℃≤T≤80℃, P=10MPa
Conclusion 1)The proppant transport experimental results show that with increase of the temperature, the proppant grain in GRF-CO2 foam fracturing fluid sedimentation rate increases,at the same time, the fracturing fluid critical settling velocity increase, showing the proppant transport performance degradation. 2)Under the condition of foaming, with increase of the foam quality, proppant particle settling velocity reduces, fracturing fluid critical settling velocity reduces, proppant transport performance increases;The change law under not foaming condition is just the opposite.

Over the past decades, a large number of plasticizing additives have been marketed, which have been fundamentally different in chemical composition and have different plasticizing effects.
It can be new (only crushed to the desired grain size) or recycled (reuse of originally new SiC or use of SiC from waste processes such as filter dust or debris from sample crushing) [10, 11].
It is a suspension made from crystalline grains containing nanoparticles, the so-called “seeding technology”.

Matsuda et al. [6] have shown that grain boundary diffusion of oxygen dominates the initial oxide growth process for Zirconium alloys.
Many large grains that is larger than 10 um in diameter and obvious cracks on surface can be seen by Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope (LSCM).
The transition area is able to tolerate a large number of sub-stoichiometry oxide phase and disorders through a second-order mechanism.
Furthermore, the crystal grains gradually grow larger because of the high temperature.
