QUANTIFICATION OF GEOMETRICAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF DESICCATION CRACK AND SHRINKAGE BEHAVIOR OF COMPOSITE CLAY LINER

Quantification of Geometrical and Morphological Characteristics of Desiccation Crack and Shrinkage Behavior of Composite Clay Liner

Clay soil and their related irregular behavior such as shrinkage, swelling, desiccation cracks etc.are the main concern for the construction of composite clay liner (CCL) in waste landfill site.In this study, an investigation was conducted on a scaled model of prototype landfill liner to quantify both the geometrical and morphological characteristi

Comparison of the diagnostic performance of 64-slice computed tomography coronary angiography in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with suspected coronary artery disease

Abstract Background Diabetics have high prevalence of subclinical coronary artery disease (CAD) with typical characteristics (diffuse disease, large calcifications).Although 64-slice multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) coronary angiography has high diagnostic accuracy to detect CAD, its diagnostic performance in diabetics with suspected CAD is
