Bee Products – Chemical and Biological Properties

In 1944, Hyde and Williams coined the term palynology to name the science responsible for the study of pollen grains and fungal spores. It was from the middle of the twentieth century onwards that the study of these particles progressed considerably, thanks to the appearance of electron microscope (Knoll and Ruska 1932) which improved the resolution and magnifcation reached with the optical microscope at the beginning of the seventeenth century. Size or type, number or position of apertures or even sporoderm ornamentation of pollen grains and fungal spores can be used as taxonomic characters for the identifcation, differentiation and classifcation of plant species or fungi they are coming from. For that reason, the study of pollen grains and fungal spores has its application in disciplines apparently as disparate as vegetal taxonomy, paleopalynology (study of palynomorphs present in different sediments for paleoclimatic and paleoecological reconstructions), aeropalynology (airborne pollen and fungal spores content), medicine (related to allergies) or even in forensic palynology, agronomy (control of crop pollination or phytopathogen detection, among others), biodeterioration, etc. and of course, the subject that concerns us in this book, melissopalynology (study of pollen content and fungal spores in honeys and other hive products). In honey, pollen grains come mainly from the plant species foraged by honey bees (Ohe et al. 2004), so that palynological studies provide a good fngerprint of the plant species where the honeys come from (botanical origin) .

Management and recycling of waste glass in concrete products: Current situations in Hong Kong

Disposal of more than 300 tonnes waste glass daily derived from post-consumer beverage bottles is one of the major environmental challenges for Hong Kong, and this challenge continues to escalate as limited recycling channels can be identified and the capacity of valuable landfill space is going to be saturated at an alarming rate. For this reason, in the past ten years, a major research effort has been carried out at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University to find practical ways to recycle waste glass for the production of different concrete products such as concrete blocks, self-compacting concrete and architectural mortar. Some of these specialty glass-concrete products have been successfully commercialized and are gaining wider acceptance. This paper gives an overview of the current management and recycling situation of waste glass and the experience of using recycled waste glass in concrete products in Hong Kong.
Mechanical Properties of Polymer Concrete[taliem.ir]

Mechanical Properties of Polymer Concrete

Polymer concrete was introduced in the late 1950s and became well known in the 1970s for its use in repair, thin overlays and floors, and precast components. Because of its properties like high compressive strength, fast curing, high specific strength, and resistance to chemical attacks polymer concrete has found application in very specialized domains. Simultaneously these materials have been used in machine construction also where the vibration damping property of polymer concrete has been exploited. This review deals with the efforts of various researchers in selection of ingredients, processing parameters, curing conditions, and their effects on the mechanical properties of the resulting material
