Introduction.Noise as a common physical hazard may lead to noise-induced hearing loss, an irreversible but preventable disorder.Annual audiometric evaluations help detect changes in hearing status before clinically significant hearing loss develops.This study was designed to track hearing threshold changes during 2-year follow-up among tile and cer
In this paper, we consider the mechanical effect of the sulfate attack on concrete.The durability analysis of concrete structures in dsp-7lp contact to external sulfate solutions requires the definition of a proper diffusion-reaction model, for the computation of the varying sulfate concentration and of the consequent ettringite formation, coupled
