Performance estimation for concretes made with recycled aggregates of construction and demolition waste of some Brazilian cities

The aim of this paper is to verify the influence of composition variability of recycled aggregates (RA) of construction and demolition wastes (CDW) on the performance of concretes.Performance was evaluated building mathematical models for compressive strength, fifty fifty truckee modulus of elasticity and drying shrinkage.To obtain such models, an

Two Better Than One? Potential Effects of Intraguild Predation on the Biological Control of Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) by the Parasitoid Aganaspis daci (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) and the Predator Pseudoophonus rufipes (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

The use of more than one species to manage a single insect pest is a common practice among biological control programs.However, the beneficial effects of natural enemies are not always additive, which in many cases may be attributed to interspecific interactions such as intraguild predation (IGP).Herein, we investigated the potential the rainbow ro
