When the rock involved in the alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR) is volcanic, the matter present in the interstices of the grains, called mesostasis is considered responsible for the expansions. Mesostasis is a residue which consists of mineral phases rich in silica and alkalis (K and Na) and in optical microscopy looks like amorphous matter. By means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and with the aid of energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), the presence of well-crystallized mineral phases in mesostasis can be observed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the amount, the chemical composition and the degree of crystallinity of mesostasis on the reactive potentiality of volcanic rocks.
Este ensaio defende a centralidade da categoria de tempo em Caetés (1933), primeiro romance de Graciliano Ramos. O foco do texto é investigar as relações entre a monotonia de Palmeira dos índios, a subjetividade de João Valério e sua forma de narrar, articulando as esferas da forma e do conteúdo em torno de uma temporalidade supostamente dinâmica, mas efetivamente estática. Dessa investigação surge a hipótese de que Caetés se desenvolve enquanto romance de uma “não-história”, ou melhor, figuração estética de uma conjuntura com formas sociais híbridas, a um só tempo arcaica e moderna.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
