Effects of Admixes on the Compressive Strength of Permeable Concrete
Compression tests were performed on three samples of permeable concrete to evaluate the effects of admixes on a conventional permeable concrete. The first mix served as the control, representing a standard permeable concrete sample. The second mix replicated the control but added a small amount of fiberglass, accounting for 0.5% of the cement\u27s weight. The third mix again mirrored the control and incorporated the manufacturer\u27s recommended amount of a water reducing admix known as Reducer 555 . The objective of testing the two new mixes against the control mix was to evaluate the potential increase in ultimate compressive strength. Four 6” x 12” test cylinders were produced for each of the three mixes to allow destructive compression strength testing at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days from the date of initial pouring. The results of the tests revealed that there was a 168.1 psi increase in the ultimate compressive strength over the control mix with the addition of fiberglass, and that the addition of fiberglass did not greatly affect the permeability of the concrete. It also revealed that further testing would be necessary to accurately evaluate the effects of the water reducing agent, due to excess slump and the mix stratifying

A Study of the Ancient Edomites: An Examination of the Civilization of the Nation of Edom and Its Relationship to Israel
This study attempts to analyze the history of the nation and kingdom of Edom. The author relates Edomite history through the lens of biblical criticism and available historical, geographical, sociological, and archaeological analyses. The Edomite relationship to ancient Israel is examined in an attempt to bring into focus much of the long forgotten and ignored history of Edom

Onsager's Wien Effect on a Lattice
The Second Wien Effect describes the non-linear, non-equilibrium response of
a weak electrolyte in moderate to high electric fields. Onsager's 1934
electrodiffusion theory along with various extensions has been invoked for
systems and phenomena as diverse as solar cells, surfactant solutions, water
splitting reactions, dielectric liquids, electrohydrodynamic flow, water and
ice physics, electrical double layers, non-Ohmic conduction in semiconductors
and oxide glasses, biochemical nerve response and magnetic monopoles in spin
ice. In view of this technological importance and the experimental ubiquity of
such phenomena, it is surprising that Onsager's Wien effect has never been
studied by numerical simulation. Here we present simulations of a lattice
Coulomb gas, treating the widely applicable case of a double equilibrium for
free charge generation. We obtain detailed characterisation of the Wien effect
and confirm the accuracy of the analytical theories as regards the field
evolution of the free charge density and correlations. We also demonstrate that
simulations can uncover further corrections, such as how the field-dependent
conductivity may be influenced by details of microscopic dynamics. We conclude
that lattice simulation offers a powerful means by which to investigate
system-specific corrections to the Onsager theory, and thus constitutes a
valuable tool for detailed theoretical studies of the numerous practical
applications of the Second Wien Effect.Comment: Main: 12 pages, 4 figures. Supplementary Information: 7 page
