The greatness of Roman architecture is built‚ quite literally‚ upon the foundation of two important items: the discovery of concrete and the adoption of the arch from the Greeks. Concrete was an exceptional development within the Roman world and catapulted Roman construction into new heights of efficiency and stability. According to Kamm (1995)‚ the origin of Roman concrete can be found in a volcanic earth known as pozzolana‚ initially found near the Greek settlement of Puteoli. It would later be

it. For centuries we have believed in vast amounts of different healing techniques. One of the more prominent—and less acknowledged—techniques is crystal healing. Crystal healing is a brand of alternative medicine that involves specific crystals being placed on specific parts of the body. These specific placements are because the crystals correspond to chakras that allow the body of the treated person to have accelerated healing. There are a large amount of healers who currently use this technique

BRE Concrete mix design method A popular simplified mix design method is that from BRE. Compressive strength is‚ in general‚ related to durability. The greater the strength the more durable the concrete. To satisfy the required compressive strength‚ a value for water/cement (w/c) ratio is estimated for an appropriate test age (generally 28 days) and cement type. Tables in the BRE mix design handbook are consulted relating aggregate:cement (a/c) ratio‚ workability and water:cement (w/c) ratio for

It’s all about a Break and the Power of Healing What is a Wound? A wound may be described in many ways; by its aetiology‚ anatomical location‚ by whether it is acute or chronic1‚ by the method of closure‚ by its presenting symptoms or indeed by the appearance of the predominant tissue types in the wound bed. All definitions serve a critical purpose in the assessment and appropriate management of the wound through to symptom resolution or‚ if viable‚ healing. A wound by true definition is a breakdown

paper is to take a look at the delicate balance of all the aspects of healing in relationship to one another. Much of the focus of modern medicine has shifted from the emotional‚ spiritual‚ aspect of the patient to just mere medicine and the advancement of procedures‚ equipment and technology. The author of this paper aims to show an important and much overlooked relationship between the spiritual aspect of the patient and healing. All too often‚ the patient as a whole does not get treated. Hospitals

Due to such a low tensile capacity‚ flexural cracks develop at early stages of loading. In order to reduce or prevent such cracks from developing‚ a concentric or eccentric force is imposed in the longitudinal direction of the structural element. This force prevents the cracks
