Authors: Rynio Dorota
Published: June 2017

Given the current conditions of the worldwide economy, strategic city management is a complex activity, the essence of which is quick reaction to changing situations where the main processes of the world economy intersect. Cities face numerous challenges across many branches, but the most essential of them concern investment, innovation, creativity and competitiveness. Balanced development remains a general goal, but the structure and grading of detailed goals is changing for cities. The inhabitants of a city are involved in developing its strategy and the effect of its activity is city building fitted to inhabitants’ needs and boosting their quality of life. The goal of the article is to indicate determinants of the world economy which ultimately determine changes in the strategic planning of cities’ socio-economic development and their priorities. The research methods used include analysis of the literature, deduction, cognitive research and cause-and-effect analysis.
Wave-, wind-, and tide-driven circulation at a well-mixed ocean inlet
Authors:   ,   Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Wargula Anna E. ,   Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Published: June 2017

The effects of waves, wind, and bathymetry on tidal and subtidal hydrodynamics at unstratified, shallow New River Inlet, NC, are evaluated using field observations and numerical simulations. Tidal flows are ebb-dominated (-1.5 to 0.6 m/s, positive is inland) inside the main (2 to 5 m deep) channel on the (1 to 2 m deep) ebb shoal, owing to inflow and outflow asymmetry at the inlet mouth. Ebb-dominance of the flows is reduced during large waves (> 1 m) owing to breaking-induced onshore momentum flux. Shoaling and breaking of large waves cause depression (setdown, offshore of the ebb shoal) and super-elevation (setup, on the shoal and in the inlet) of the mean water levels, resulting in changes to the cross-shoal pressure gradient, which can weaken onshore flows. At a 90-degree bend 800-m inland of the inlet mouth, centrifugal acceleration owing to curvature drives two-layered cross-channel flows (0.1 to 0.2 m/s) with surface flows going away from and bottom flows going toward the bend. The depthaveraged dynamics are tidally asymmetric. Subtidal cross-channel flows are correlated (r2 > 0.5) with cross-channel wind speed, suggesting that winds are enhancing and degrading the localcurvature- induced two-layer flow, and driving three-layer flow.

Published: June 2017

Resumo Métodos de aprendizagem de máquina podem ser usados para auxiliar o projeto de edifícios energeticamente eficientes, reduzindo cargas de energia enquanto se mantém a temperatura interna desejada. Eles operam estimando uma resposta a partir de um conjunto de entradas tais como a geometria do edifício, propriedades do material, custos do projeto, condições do tempo no local e impacto ambiental. Esses métodos requerem uma fase de treinamento que considera uma base de dados construída a partir de variáveis selecionadas no domínio do problema. Este trabalho avalia o desempenho de quatro métodos de aprendizado de máquina na predição de cargas de resfriamento e aquecimento de edifícios residenciais. A base de dados do treinamento consiste de oito variáveis de entrada e duas variáveis de saída, todas derivadas de projetos de edifícios. Os métodos foram selecionados de acordo com uma pesquisa exaustiva e ajustados por uma estratégia com validação cruzada. Para a avaliação foram usadas quatro medidas estatísticas de desempenho e um índice de sintetização e resultados. Essa estratégia resultou em algoritmos com parâmetros otimizados e permitiu obter resultados competitivos com os apresentados na literatura.
The identification and analysis of making-do waste: insights from two Brazilian construction sites
Authors: Formoso Carlos Torres , Sommer Lucila , Koskela Lauri , Isatto Eduardo Luís
Published: June 2017

Abstract Making-do has been pointed out as an important category of waste in the construction industry. It refers to a situation in which a task starts or continues without having available all the inputs required for its completion, such as materials, machinery, tools, personnel, external conditions, and information. By contrast, the literature points out that improvisation is a ubiquitous human practice even in highly structured business organizations, and plays an important role when rules and methods fail. The aim of this paper is to provide some insights on the nature of making-do as a type of waste, based on two exploratory case studies carried out on construction sites. The main contributions of this research work are concerned with the identification of different categories of making-do and its main causes. This paper also discusses some strategies for reducing making-do on construction sites.
Mechanical properties of silica fume concrete designed as per construction practice
Authors: Sahoo Kirti Kanta , Sarkar Pradip , Davis Robin
Published: June 2017

The effect of silica fume (SF) on the compressive, flexural and tensile splitting strengths of hardened concrete is studied. Seven concrete mixes are prepared using Portland slag cement (PSC) partially replaced with SF ranging from 0 to 30%. The mix proportions were obtained as per the construction practice at the site with 10% excess cement when SF is used. The optimum doses of SF for the maximal values of compressive, tensile splitting and flexural strengths at 28 d are determined. The results of this study are compared with similar results associated with the Portland cement available in the literature. A correlation, in the form of simplified equations, between the compressive, tensile splitting and flexural strengths of SF concrete and PSC is obtained. Ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) tests are carried out on all concrete specimens at 28 d before conducting the compression test. A relationship between UPV values and compressive strengths is proposed for SF concrete with PSC based on the experimental data.
Quantified sustainability of recycled concrete aggregates
Authors: McGinnis Michael J. , Davis Mark , de la Rosa Andres , Weldon Brad D. , Kurama Yahya C.
Published: June 2017

The conservation of coarse aggregates has been largely ignored in the USA even though they account for about half of a concrete mix by volume. The production of natural crushed stone, sand and gravel in the USA accounts for over half of all mining, and associated processing and transport operations use energy and adversely affect ecology. Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) as a replacement for natural aggregate (NA) in concrete structures can improve the sustainability of construction, but many remain unconvinced of the economic viability of RCA use in structural concrete. These two aspects have slowed research into and the practical adoption of RCA in structures. This paper addresses both aspects, presenting an environmental impact index that includes key aggregate production variables (production facility land use, water use, energy demand and carbon dioxide emissions) and detailing economic calculations showing the viability of RCA use in structures. The two biggest findings of this study were that, for the region studied, the environmental impact of RCA use is approximately half that of NA, according to the newly derived index, and RCA is predicted to be able to be sold for approximately the same cost as NA, even if process modifications to meet concrete aggregate standards are emplaced.
Lipschutz: Indigenismo y marxismo. Chile: pueblo mapuche
Authors: Samaniego Mesias Augusto , Ruiz Rodriguez Carlos
Published: June 2017

Este artículo aborda la elaboración intelectual de Alejandro Lipschutz Friedman sobre el indigenismo en relación con su propia concepción del marxismo. El contexto histórico arranca en 1940 (Congreso de Pátzcuaro, México) y culmina en 1973 (golpe militar en Chile). El tema central es la construcción de autonomías étnico-políticas en debate con la idea del progreso y de la integración del pueblo indígena sostenido por la visión de la modernidad liberal. La significación de la obra de Lipschutz, en la historia reciente de las relaciones entre el movimiento étnico-social mapuche y el Estado de Chile, se hizo evidente a partir del proceso de transición desde la dictadura y régimen militar-civil, hasta la restauración de la democracia política. Desde inicios de los ’90, la re-elaboración de identidades mapuche y las movilizaciones por derechos indígenas colectivos, se han vinculado explícitamente a conceptos del ‘reconocimiento político constitucional’, a proyectos mapuche de ‘autonomías’ e, incluso actualmente (2014-2016), al concepto de Estado plurinacional.

Published: June 2017

En el presente avance de investigación se indaga por el rol que han desempeñado las Instituciones Financieras Internacionales (IFIS) en la promoción de reformas institucionales en la región y las características de sus programas, que dejan entrever una particular forma de concebir las relaciones entre democracia y mercado a partir del concepto articulador de gobernabilidad. La indagación involucra a las IFIS más importantes: Banco Mundial, Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo y Fondo Monetario Internacional. En últimas, los autores abordan esta temática para elaborar hipótesis sobre la configuración del Derecho Internacional, de las interrelaciones entre lo local y lo transnacional, para identificar la posición de las instituciones encargadas de la protección de los derechos humanos.
La construcción de confianza Estado-policías-comunidad, un problema de diseño institucional/ Constructing Trust on State-Police-Community relationships, a problem of Institutional Design
Authors: Verduzco Chávez Basilio
Published: June 2017

Este artículo presenta una lectura de la situación de inseguridad en la que se destaca la incapacidad del Estado para integrar soluciones organizacionales e institucionales que proporcionen seguridad a los agentes de los cuerpos policiales, ayuden a construir relaciones de confianza entre policías y sociedad, incrementen la legitimidad de las actuaciones policiales y, en consecuencia, reduzcan los índices de criminalidad observados. Se analiza la experiencia mexicana para estudiar la falta de confianza y el pobre desempeño de la policía como resultados de fallas de diseño institucional. Los problemas de diseño institucional persisten debido a errores de interpretación de la racionalidad de los actores y de los procesos de cambio social registrados en el país, malos diagnósticos de los problemas de seguridad, problemas al distinguir entre estructuras de implementación y poblaciones objetivo, al diseñar políticas públicas que forman parte de una estrategia de soberanía graduada que ofrece protección desigual a los ciudadanos.ABSTRACTThis article presents an interpretation of insecurity, highlighting the lack of capacity of the State to integrate organizational and institutional solutions aimed at providing protection to police officers, building trust on police-society relationships, increasing police legitimacy and, therefore, reducing crime rates. Based on the analysis of the Mexican experience, this article looks at the lack of trust and the poor performance of police corps, consequences of institutional design failures. Such failures persist due to erroneous readings of actors´ rationalities and social change processes observed in the country, poor diagnostics of security problems, and confusion of implementation structures and target populations in public policies that integrate a graduated sovereignty strategy through which the state offers different levels of police protection to its citizens.

Parental Teaching-to-Read Practices and Children’s Reading Literacy in Russia according to PIRLS2011
Authors: Zakharov Andrey , Kapuza Anastasia
Published: June 2017

It is well known that reading literacy of a child is related to the family cultural capital. Parents involvement in their children education is what explains this relationship to a large extent. In this paper, we analyze what teaching practices parents of different cultural capital choose to teach their children to read before school and in the fourth grade. For this purpose, we use PIRLS2011 data. Formal (ABC games, word games, writing) and informal (reading together, discussing a book, storytelling) practices are explored. We find that parents with different level of education choose different teaching-to-read strategies. College-educated parents engage in their children preschool education more often and prefer informal practices. They are also more likely to use a compensation strategy if their children do not attend a kindergarten. Lower-educated parents support their child’s reading more actively in the fourth grade. Their preschool support is largely restricted to the reinforcement strategy of involvement in learning — they are more involved if their child attends a kindergarten. This paper also investigates the relationship between various teaching-toread practices and children’s reading literacy before school and at the fourth grade.

Introduction to the Issue “Sport for Social Inclusion: Questioning Policy, Practice and Research”
Authors: Haudenhuyse Reinhard
Published: June 2017

An aspect of sport which is often highlighted is its capacity to alleviate processes of social exclusion that are experienced in different areas of life. Despite its acclaimed inclusionary nature, sport remains a site of multiple and diverse exclusionary processes (Spaaij, Magee, & Jeanes, 2014). To better understand sport's wider inclusionary outcomes, Ekholm (2013) argued that we should problematize and critically expose the underlying assumptions, distinctions, ideologies, and research positions that constitute the conceptions surrounding sport as a means for social inclusion. If such problematizing and exposing is not empirically done, sport-based social inclusion policies and programs are likely to become inadequate in the face of the exclusionary forces which such schemes seek to combat (Collins & Haudenhuyse, 2015). It is precisely the aim of this thematic issue to scrutinize such issues in relation to sport and its acclaimed potential to facilitate social inclusion and combat processes of social exclusion. The issue brings together a unique collection of international articles, written by both rising and leading scholars in the field of social sport sciences. The articles cover a wide variety of themes, theoretical perspectives, and research methods in relation to social in-/exclusion and sport.
Sport and Social Inclusion: Evidence-Based Policy and Practice
Authors: Coalter Fred
Published: June 2017

This commentary reflects on my experience of compiling the Value of Sport Monitor—an on-line resource of policy-relevant, research on the social impacts of sport—for eight years. The commentary critically evaluates the assumption of the Value of Sport Monitor that social science research in sport is cumulative and it explores sports interest groups’ varying attitudes to the nature of evidence. It illustrates that widespread conceptual and methodological inconsistencies and weaknesses in research greatly reduce the ability to identify best practice and ‘best buys’ as a basis for policy. The commentary concludes by proposing that a way forward for research to contribute to policy and practice is via theory-based evaluation.
Conditions for Successfully Increasing Disadvantaged Adolescents’ Engagement in and Development through Volunteering in Community Sport
Authors: Buelens Evi , Theeboom Marc , Vertonghen Jikkemien , De Martelaer Kristine
Published: June 2017

A considerable number of adolescents in Western societies live in socially vulnerable situations. Approaches to improve this situation ultimately aim to make institutional changes through a focus on individual development. With regard to the latter, there have been high expectations regarding sport volunteering’s contribution to human capital development. Nevertheless, little understanding of the underlying conditions for, and possible outcomes of sport volunteering exists. This study’s aim was twofold: (1) to assess the conditions necessary to develop the human capital of disadvantaged adolescents through volunteering in community sport, and (2) to assess to what extent human capital can be developed. A qualitative research design was used to attain deeper insight into these conditions within eight community sport programs in Flanders (Northern Dutch-speaking region of Belgium), a setting that is not often used for youth developmental practices. Data were collected on repeated occasions over the course of each program through qualitative methods with local sport services and social partner organizations (N = 26) and participating adolescents (N = 26). Inductive analysis identified two categories of necessary conditions, (1) valuing and recognizing adolescents, and (2) informal and experiential learning. Results further showed the achievement of two types of perceived human capital developmental outcome (i.e., personal and interpersonal competences) through the fulfilment of these conditions. Findings also showed that although two of these programs made use of a more critical pedagogical approach to youth development by encouraging participants, not only to reflect on, but also to critically take part in the transformation of their own position within society; critical youth empowerment was not reached in the majority of the programs.

Published: June 2017

The article represents problems of secondary comprehensive forensic psychological and psychiatric examination after initial assessment of the accused being in the state of affect during the act of offence. Features of expert work in conducting these examinations, the difficulties faced by psychiatrists and psychologists, reasons for possible disagreement with the conclusions of the previous experts, the need to take into account their conclusions in the argumentation of their decision were noted.
To illustrate the problems mentioned, a case study of secondary examination, which does not confirms the conclusions of the primary examination in regard to the qualification of the accused's emotional state as cumulative affect, is provided.
On the basis of the analysis some additions were suggested to the standard scheme of psychological research with an assessment of the picture of the emotional state according to the materials of the criminal case and the clinical interview, accounting additional information in materials of criminal case and specifities of accused's self-description presentation.
RESPONDING TO THE STREET: GOVERNMENT RESPONSES TO MASS PROTESTS IN DEMOCRACIES*
Authors: Peña Alejandro Milcíades , Davies Thomas Richard
Published: June 2017

This article proposes two models that address the neglected relationship between protests, government countermovement strategies, and democratic politics. By contrasting centrifugal and centripetal dynamics triggered by government responses to mass protest, the models theorize the link between government counterframes and opposition politics in democracies. The strategies deployed by the Argentine and Brazilian governments during the cycle of mass protests that erupted in these countries in 2012–13 are used in illustration. The counterframing models developed in this article shed new light on the role of government responses in the dynamics of contentious politics, with potential for application to other contentious episodes and political contexts.

Published: June 2017

Dermatological diseases with underlying immunological pathosis exhibiting similar clinical manifestations have challenged even the veteran dermatologists in rendering diagnosis clinically, necessitating study of the skin lesions with immunofluroscence. The technique is similar to immunochemistry where instead of enzymes antibodies are labelled with a fluorescent dye4. It probes the study of the cell and molecular biology. Immunofluorescence permit early diagnosis, treatment and subsequent monitoring of disease activity in patient with potentially life threatening disease. It is widely used in the field of vesiculo-bullous lesions and other related oral dermatological disorders by demonstrating antibodies either in biopsy tissue or in the serum separated from blood collected from the patients.

Authors: Eswar Kandaswamy , Ismail Rubin Mohamed , Rosaline Hannah , Venkateshbabu Nagendrababu , Kandaswamy Deivanayagam
Published: June 2017

Aim:

To identify TIMP – 1 and TIMP – 2 in human radicular dentine using confocal laser scanning microscopy.

Materials and Methods:

Thirty freshly extracted non carious human single rooted pre molars were obtained and stored in isotonic saline at -70°C prior to use. All the teeth were decoronated at the CEJ using a diamond. Teeth were divided into 2 groups (Group 1: TIMP-1 analysis n = 15; Group 2: TIMP-2 analysis n = 15). Teeth were sectioned using a hard tissue microtome, mounted and viewed under confocal laser scanning microscopy.

Results:

TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 were detected in radicular dentine and were seen to be distributed more towards the inner dentine layer closer to the pulp.

Conclusion:

Due to a shorter half life of TIMP-1 and 2 as compared to the MMP, there is a need to use MMP inhibitors prior to obturation of the root canal.

Authors: Vosmerikov A.V. , Vosmerikova L.N. , Barbashin Ya.E.
Published: June 2017

Crystalline galloalumino- and gallosilicates with pentasil structure were synthesised under hydrother-mal conditions. The influence of gallium concentration and binder amount both on physicochemical and catalytic properties of a zeolite in the process of C2-C4 light alkanes aromatization and on catalyst deacti-vation due to carbidization has been studied. Acidic properties of gallium-containing pentasils with differ-ent composition were studied using the method of thermoprogrammed ammonia desorption. The forma-tion of strong aproton acidic sites whose composition includes gallium ions was found. It has been shown that isomorphic aluminium replacement by gallium in the pentasil lattice leads to a significant increase in aromatizing activity and period of stable catalyst operation. A decrease in intensity of coking and the formation of less condensed coke deposits with a wide distribution by the structure are observed with the increase in gallium concentration. The introduction of a binder to galloaluminosilicate results in a signifi-cant increase in mechanical strength of a catalyst. It was established that the most efficient catalyst of the above process is a zeolite containing 2.2% of gallium oxide and 1.3% of aluminium oxide and mixed with 20% of the pseudobeumite. The selectivity of the formation of aromatic hydrocarbons reaches 55-60%, the period of stable operation exceeds 350 h. In accordance with the data obtained suggested are the principles of the selection of efficient catalysts of light alkanes aromatization and optimum conditions of the process.

On University Historiography in Hungary: An Overview of the Past 25 Years = Sobre la Historia de la Universidad en Hungría: un repaso a los últimos 25 años
Authors: Szögi László
Published: June 2017

Abstract: In the following paper we display the development of writings about universities history in the last 25 years. It is important to underline that we use the name of Hungary as a historical definition. In this case it means the whole territory of the Carpathian Basin, because the current boarders were created in 1920. Since the Hungarian universities were founded late the possibility of attendance at foreign universities represented great importance. Nowadays, we possess a database with more than 100.000 records about Hungarian students who attended foreign universities before 1918. Many Source editions, analyses and monographs were published in this topic. The purpose of the following article is to summarize the most notable volumes.Resumen: En el presente artículo analizamos el desarrollo de los trabajos sobre la historia las universidades en los últimos 25 años. Es importante subrayar que usamos el nombre de Hungría como una definición histórica. En este caso nos referimos a todo el territorio de la Cuenca de los Cárpatos, debido a que las fronteras actuales fueron creadas en 1920. Dado que las universidades húngaras se fundaron tarde, la posibilidad de asistir a universidades extranjeras adquirió gran importancia. Hoy en día contamos con una base de datos con más de 100.000 registros sobre los estudiantes húngaros que asistieron a universidades extranjeras antes de 1918.

Graphene/(h-BN) n/X-doped graphene as anode material in lithium ion batteries (X=Li, Be, B and N)
Authors: Monajjemi Majid
Published: June 2017

Abstract: In this study Boron nitride sheet has been localized inside two X-graphene electrodes as an option to enhance the electrochemical ratio. Additionally, we have found the structure of X-G/(h-BN)n/X-G (N = 2–5) can improve the capacity and electrical transport in C-BN sheet-based LIBs. Therefore, the modification of BN sheets and design of X-G/ (h-BN)n/X-G structure provide strategies for improving the performance of BN-G-based anodes. X-G/(h-BN)n/X-G could also be assembled into free- standing electrodes without any binder or current collector, which will lead to increased specific energy density for the overall battery design. In this work the measured reversible lithium ion capacities of X-G//(h-BN)//X-G (X = Be, B, N) based anodes are considerably improved compared to the conventional graphite-based anodes
Evidence-Based Professionalism in Small Specialist HE Course Management – Reflexive Thoughts on Ongoing Research
Authors: van Veggel Nieky
Published: June 2017

This paper outlines evidence-based practice in the context of professionalism, and highlights the contribution evidence-based practice can make to the professional practice of higher education course managers. Implications of the changing HE landscape for the status of academics as professionals are reviewed, and evidence-based practice is proposed as a solution for both enhanced course management and to remedy perceived deprofessionalisation. Finally, questions regarding researching professional practice within one’s own institution are addressed.

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) remote sensing is a useful tool for mapping earthquake-induced building damage. A series of operational methodologies based on SAR data using either multi-temporal or only post-event SAR images have been developed and used to serve disaster activities. This presents a critical problem: which method is more likely to obtain reliable results and should be adopted for disaster response when both pre- and post-event SAR data are available? To explore this question, this study takes the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake as a case study. ALOS-2/PALSAR-2 SAR images were employed with a machine learning framework to quantitatively compare the performance of building damage mapping using only post-event SAR images and mapping using multi-temporal SAR images. The results show that an overall accuracy of 64.5% was achieved when only post-event SAR images were used, which is 2.3% higher than the overall accuracy when multi-temporal SAR images were used. The estimated building damage ratio for the former and the latter are 29.7% and 31.1%, respectively, which are both close to the building damage ratio obtained from an optical image.
Accountable Care Organizations and Oral Health Accountability
Authors: Mayberry Melanie E.
Published: June 2017

Accountable care organizations agree to be accountable for the cost and outcomes of an attributed population. However, in many, no provisions have been made to account for oral health. There are several social, medical, and financial implications for health care provider and payer systems and health care outcomes when oral health is not accounted for in patient management. How can an organization strive to improve population health without including the oral health system? Total systemic health for a population must include oral health.

Accountable care organizations are positioned to change the course of oral health in the United States and close the disparities that exist among vulnerable populations, including seniors. Such efforts will reduce health care costs. Opportunities abound to expand points of entry into the health care system via dental or medical care. Closing the great divide between 2 historically isolated professions will position the United States to make gains in true population health.

I provide evidence of the need to mandate access to oral health care services for all Americans—specifically adults, because legislation currently exists for pediatric dental coverage.
Rice Bodies and a Partial Flexor Tendon Rupture in a Patient with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Authors: Nabet Austin , Faruqui Safi , Hogan Christopher J.
Published: June 2017

Case:

We present a case of rice-body formation and partial flexor tendon rupture in a 3-year-old child with seronegative juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), which presented as a painless soft-tissue mass of the volar aspect of the hand. The diagnosis was not confirmed until histologic examination. The patient was managed with a tenosynovectomy and oral medication; he made a full recovery.

Conclusion:

JIA is one of the most common rheumatologic conditions of childhood. Establishing the diagnosis can be challenging in very young children, particularly when clinical presentation is atypical and serology is negative. Surgical intervention may be warranted in the appropriately selected patient with JIA.
Nanosized Magnesium Oxide With Engineered Expansive Property for Enhanced Cement-System Performance
Authors: Jafariesfad Narjes , Geiker Mette Rica , Skalle Pål
Published: June 2017

The bulk shrinkage of cement sheaths in oil wells can result in loss of long-term zonal isolation. Expansive additives are used to mitigate bulk shrinkage. To compensate effectively for bulk shrinkage during the late plastic phase and the hardening phase of the cement system, the performance of the expansive additive needs to be regulated considering the actual cement system and placement conditions.

This paper presents an introductory investigation on the potential engineering of nanosized magnesium oxide (MgO) (NM) through heat treatment for use as an expansive agent in oilwell-cement systems. In this study, the bulk shrinkage of a cement system was mitigated by introducing NM with designed reactivity to the fresh cement slurry. The reactivity of NM was controlled by heat treatment. A dilatometer with corrugated molds was used to measure the linear strain of samples cured at 40°C and atmospheric pressure. The effect of NMs differing in reactivity on tensile properties of cement systems cured for 3 days at 40°C was examined by use of the flattened Brazilian test.

The reactivity of the NM played a key role in controlling the bulk shrinkage of the cement system. Addition of only 2% NM by weight of cement (BWOC) with appropriate reactivity was sufficient to maintain expansion of the cement system. Adding NM to the cement system also resulted in improved mechanical flexibility. The NM with highest reactivity caused the largest reduction in Young's modulus at 3 days and, in general, the ratio of tensile strength to Young's modulus improved through the addition of NM to the cement system. Our work demonstrates that controlling the reactivity of the additive is a promising method to mitigate bulk shrinkage of cement systems and thereby to sustain the mechanical properties of the cement sheath in the oil well at an acceptable level.
