Sugar cane bagasse ash (SCBA) is generated as a combustion by-product from the
boilers of sugar factories. This work deals with assessing the feasibility of using Sugar
cane bagasse ash (SCBA) as a partial replacement for cement in mortar.
Characterization of SCBA (SEM and chemical composition) demonstrated the high
pozzolanic nature of SCBA. Masonry mortar of grade MM3 was considered for trial
mix. The cement was partially replaced with 10%, 15% and 20% of the SCBA. The
fresh properties of mortar mixes were assessed by conducting flow table test. It was
observed that, flow values decrease with increase in percentage of replacement of
cement by SCBA. The impact of bagasse ash content as a partial replacement of
cement has been investigated on physical and mechanical properties of hardened
mortar including compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength. For
the compressive strength three sizes of cubes and 150x300 mm cylinder were used.
The split tensile strength was determined using the cylindrical specimen of size
150x300mm and the flexural strength of mortar was determined using the specimen of
size 40x40x160 mm. Mortar mix of MM3 grade with compressive strength between 3
and 5 MPa were produced.

El presente artículo se postula como objetivo principal, desarrollar distintos aspectos del “Sistema de Presentaciones y Notificaciones Electrónicas” (en lo sucesivo, S.N.P.E), en su aplicación a la gestión del Poder Judicial de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, por intermedio del cual, se busca contribuir a la eficiencia del servicio de justicia, agilizando los procesos judiciales en trámite ó a iniciarse, reducir los costos económicos que irroga el tradicional formato papel y proteger el medio ambiente, y maximizar los beneficios que las nuevas tecnologías otorgan, en pos de la comunidad jurídica.

—Some inconsistencies within the existing test standards for firefighter's personal protective clothing (PPE) are still remain. For that reason, and to response the need for an easier and reliable PPE standard, a new firefighter PPE standard test was developed in our laboratory. The aim of this paper is to describe some valuable lessons found in related to the men working using PPE in hot environment. Firstly, there is still more space to reduce the burden on firefighters by improving the SCBA and its harness design. Secondly, a PPE should be tested in hot environment to have a better understanding about the physiological impact of the PPE in a similar condition that it will be used. And lastly, although the tympanic temperature was more reactive, the tympanic temperature profiles were in a similar tendency to the rectal temperature profile so that the tympanic temperature measurement is acceptable in a PPE standard test.
