CERAMIC WASTES AS RAW MATERIALS IN PORTLAND CEMENT CLINKER FABRICATION: CHARACTERIZATION AND ALKALINE ACTIVATION

Ceramic wastes as raw materials in portland cement clinker fabrication: characterization and alkaline activation

The world-wide cement industry is seeking experimental avenues that will lead to cement production that is less energy-intensive, less damaging to the surrounding environment and less prolific in GHG emissions.In Spain and Europe in general, this approach is wholly consistent with the concept of sustainability and compliance with the Kyoto Protocol

Explosive Vomiting Associated with Proximal Colonic Distention during a Difficult Propofol-Assisted Colonoscopy

We present a case of explosive vomiting associated with the extensive manipulation of the proximal colon during a difficult colonoscopy procedure.The cause of vomiting in this case may have been multifactorial; however, proximal colonic distention was the most likely factor because the onset of vomiting coincided with proximal colonic manipulation
