A rejuvenating agent was employed to improve the pavement properties of CRMB. To avoid the rejuvenating agent having an adverse effect on the new bitumen, reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) was firstly treated by the rejuvenating agent, and the effect of rejuvenating time on the pavement properties of CRMB was investigated. Results indicate that the addition of a rejuvenating agent can greatly improve the ductility and moisture susceptibility of CRMB. Meanwhile, although the rejuvenating agent can soften aged bitumen, the addition of a rejuvenating agent can still increase the indirect tensile strength of CRMB and does not greatly reduce the rutting resistance of CRMB. This phenomenon exists because the rejuvenating agent can be both beneficial to the membrane Citation: Li, C.; Ouyang, J.; Cao, P.; structure of the bitumen emulsion mastic and aged bitumen.

Introduction Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in Environmental sustainability and cost-effectiveness are promoting the worldwide published maps and institutional affil- diffusion of low-energy and low-emission technologies for pavement construction and iations. rehabilitation. In this context, the recycling of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) based on a cold recycled mixture with bitumen emulsion (CRMB) is one of the most effective and low environmental impact technologies. CRMB consists of bitumen emulsion, additional water, filler, unheated virgin aggregates, and RAP. Compared to conventional hot-recycled bitumen mixture, the maximum amount of RAP, generally between 70% and 100% of Copyright: © 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. the total aggregate blend, can be recycled in CRMB [1]. The effective utilization of RAP This article is an open access article can greatly preserve natural resources and reduce the disposal costs. No extra heating is distributed under the terms and required in the production of CRMB, so it can minimize energy consumption, dust, and conditions of the Creative Commons gaseous emissions [2]. As a result of these advantages, CRMB is becoming more preferred Attribution (CC BY) license (https:// in pavement construction and rehabilitation. creativecommons.org/licenses/by/ Although CRMB has been widely applied in the pavement construction and rehabili- 4.0/). tation, its application is mainly restricted to the base and subbase layers of motorways [3]. Coatings 2021, 11, 520. https://doi.org/10.3390/coatings11050520 https://www.mdpi.com/journal/coatings Coatings 2021, 11, 520 2 of 16 Therefore, the surplus value of RAP cannot be maximized by this technology. To better reuse RAP, road engineers in China have been trying to use CRMB as a surface layer material (mainly intermediate and bottom courses of asphalt layer) in recent years. How- ever, there are many challenges to achieve this ambitious goal. The primary challenge is the mechanical properties of CRMB. CRMB has a high modulus and good rutting resis- tance [4–6] because cement hydrates can greatly increase the stiffness of bitumen binder [7]. However, because of the high void content and the addition of cement, CRMB features low tensile strength and low ductility [8,9], so that its cracking resistance is weak compared to conventional hot mix asphalt and hot recycling asphalt [10]. CRMB also has a high moisture susceptibility [11,12]. As a result, CRMB has high risks of cracking and moisture damage when it is employed in the surface layer. To reduce these risks, the pavement properties of CRMB should be greatly improved, especially for tensile strength, ductility, and moisture susceptibility. To reduce the risks of cracking and moisture damage, an indirect tensile test is sug- gested to be better than the Marshall test in the mix design of CRMB [3,9]. Meanwhile, fac- tors influencing the indirect tensile strength (ITS) and pavement properties of CRMB were intensively studied by scholars recently, such as cement content and cement types [13–15], other cementitious fillers and content [11,16], water content [9], bitumen content [15], ag- gregate gradation [17,18], curing condition [19–21], and compaction method [22]. These studies are all very meaningful to understand the effect of raw components and fabrication conditions on the ITS and pavement performances of CRMB and obtain the optimal mix design of CRMB. Comparing the results, the most efficient way to improve the tensile strength and moisture damage of CRMB is adding more cement into mixture. However, the deformability of CRMB can be greatly degraded if more cement is added [9], thus increasing the risk of cracking. The cement content of CRMB should be between 1% and 2% to prevent cracking in the application. Overall, the pavement properties of CRMB under the optimal mix proportion should be further improved to promote the use of RAP. To further improve the pavement properties of CRMB under the optimal mix pro- portion, the deficiencies of CRMB in the mechanical properties should be firstly analyzed. There are significant differences between CRMB and hot recycling asphalt in the materials composition and RAP treatment method. Firstly, the hot bitumen with a very low viscosity can easily wet and coat aggregate well. However, bitumen droplets are difficult to penetrate to the surface texture of aggregates. Its coating ability on aggregate is highly related to the wetting ability of bitumen emulsion. In this context, the addition of surfactants (i.e., superplasticizer and wetting agent), which can greatly reduce the viscosity of fresh cement bitumen emulsion mastic and the contact angle between asphalt emulsion and aggregate, can greatly increase the ITS of CRMB and have no adverse effects on its ductility [8,23]. Secondly, although the RAP content is small in the hot recycling asphalt, a rejuvenating agent is employed to restore the technical properties of the aged bitumen of RAP in the technology [24,25]. However, no treatment method is employed for RAP, and no extra heating is used to melt the aged bitumen in the application of CRMB; thus, the RAP is normally as black aggregates in the traditional CRMB. The high amount of RAP is only adhered by a small amount of cement bitumen emulsion mastic. As a result of the poor ductility and adhesive ability of aged bitumen, CRMB has relative low pavement properties. To further improve the pavement properties of CRMB, adding a rejuvenating agent to restore the technical properties of aged bitumen may be a good choice according to the experience of hot recycling asphalt [26]. With the above regards, a rejuvenating agent is tried to improve the mechanical properties of CRMB in this study. Since the reactivity between the rejuvenating agent and aged bitumen at ambient temperature is much gentler than that at high temperature, more concerns should be focused on the treatment process of RAP by rejuvenating agent in CRMB. To efficiently restore the aged bitumen in RAP and avoid softening the new bitumen in cement bitumen emulsion mastic, a better treatment method may be to firstly Coatings 2021, 11, 520 3 of 16 blend RAP and the rejuvenating agent and then cure this blending for several days. In consideration of this, the objectives of this paper are as follows: • To study the effect of a rejuvenating agent on the pavement properties of CRBM; • To find a suitable treatment process of RAP by rejuvenating agent; • To discuss the possible mechanisms of the effect of the rejuvenating agent on the pavement properties of CRBM. 2. Materials and Specimens Preparation 2.1. Materials Slow setting cationic bitumen emulsion, Portland ordinary cement P.O42.5, recycled asphalt pavement (RAP), crushed sand, and limestone powder were employed to fabricate CRMB. The Portland ordinary cement P.O42.5 is from Dalian Xiaoyetian Cement Co., Ltd. in Dalian, China. The properties of cationic bitumen emulsion are listed in Table1. The employed RAP was obtained from the surface layer of one motorway in Liaoning Province, China, whose gradation is shown in Figure1. The bitumen content in RAP was determined as 4.8% by combustion method. According to the gradation of RAP, virgin crushed sand, limestone powder, and cement were introduced to get a suitable aggregate gradation of CRMB, which is shown in Figure1.

Cox, and Jian Zuo Department of Developmental Neurobiology, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee 38105 Hearing in mammals relies upon the transduction of sound by hair cells (HCs) in the organ of Corti within the cochlea of the inner ear. Sensorineural hearing loss is a widespread and permanent disability due largely to a lack of HC regeneration in mammals. Recent studies suggest that targeting the retinoblastoma (Rb)/E2F pathway can elicit proliferation of auditory HCs. However, previous attempts to induce HC proliferation in this manner have resulted in abnormal cochlear morphology, HC death, and hearing loss. Here we show that cochlear HCs readily proliferate and survive following neonatal, HC-specific, conditional knock-out of p27 Kip1 (p27CKO), a tumor suppressor upstream of Rb. Indeed, HC-specific p27CKO results in proliferation of these cells without the upregulation of the supporting cell or progenitor cell proteins, Prox1 or Sox2, suggesting that they remain HCs. Furthermore, p27CKO leads to a significant addition of postnatallyderivedHCsthatexpresscharacteristicsynapticandstereociliarymarkersandsurvivetoadulthood,althoughaportionofthe newly derived inner HCs exhibit cytocauds and lack VGlut3 expression. Despite this, p27CKO mice exhibit normal hearing as measured by evoked auditory brainstem responses, which suggests that the newly generated HCs may contribute to, or at least do not greatly detract from, function. These results show that p27 Kip1 actively maintains HC quiescence in postnatal mice, and suggest that inhibition of p27 Kip1 in residual HCs represents a potential strategy for cell-autonomous auditory HC regeneration.

  • INVERSE PROBLEMS for NONLINEAR HYPERBOLIC EQUATIONS Gunther Uhlmann Jian Zhai 1. Introduction. Many Physical Phenomena Are Model
    DISCRETE AND CONTINUOUS doi:10.3934/dcds.2020380 DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS Volume 41, Number 1, January 2021 pp. 455{469 INVERSE PROBLEMS FOR NONLINEAR HYPERBOLIC EQUATIONS Gunther Uhlmann∗ Department of Mathematics, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA Institute for Advanced Study, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Kowloon, Hong Kong, China Jian Zhai Institute for Advanced Study, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Kowloon, Hong Kong, China Abstract. There has been considerable progress in recent years in solving inverse problems for nonlinear hyperbolic equations. One of the striking aspects of these developments is the use of nonlinearity to get new information, which is not possible for the corresponding linear equations. We illustrate this for several examples including Einstein equations and the equations of nonlinear elasticity among others. 1. Introduction. Many physical phenomena are modeled by nonlinear hyperbolic equations (see for example [40]). In recent years, starting with the paper [20] sev- eral inverse problems for nonlinear hyperbolic equations have been solved, ranging from semilinear wave equations to nonlinear elastic equations and Einstein equa- tions. The nonlinearity of the equation is used in an essential way. The interaction of waves, caused by the nonlinearity of the equation, produces new waves giving information that is not available for the corresponding linear equation. We will survey in this paper some recent progress on inverse problems for nonlinear hyper- bolic equations. The most exciting breakthrough is the possibility of recovering time-dependent coefficients for nonlinear evolution equations. The unique recovery of a time-dependent coefficient in a linear hyperbolic equation is in general still not known.

Ideophones are defined as a set of words that are phonologically and morphologically marked and depict some form of sensory image (Dingemanse 2011b). Middle Chinese has a large body of ideophones, whose domains range from the depiction of sound, movement, visual and other external senses to the depiction of internal senses (cf. Dingemanse 2012a). There is some work on modern variants of Sinitic languages (cf. Mok 2001; Bodomo 2006; de Sousa 2008; de Sousa 2011; Meng 2012; Wu 2014), but so far, there is no encompassing study of ideophones of a stage in the historical development of Sinitic languages. The purpose of this study is to develop a descriptive model for ideophones in Middle Chinese, which is compatible with what we know about them cross-linguistically. The main research question of this study is “what are the phonological, morphological, semantic and syntactic features of ideophones in Middle Chinese?” This question is studied in terms of three parameters, viz. the parameters of form, of meaning and of use.

The names also reflect the beliefs and religion of Singapore Chinese. More significantly, a change of identity and representation is reflected in the names of earlier settlers and Singapore Chinese today. This paper aims to show the general naming traditions of Chinese in Singapore as well as a change in ideology and trends due to globalization. Keywords Singapore, Chinese, names, identity, beliefs, globalization. 1. Introduction When parents choose a name for a child, the name necessarily reflects their thoughts and aspirations with regards to the child. These thoughts and aspirations are shaped by the historical, social, cultural or spiritual setting of the time and place they are living in whether or not they are aware of them. Thus, the study of names is an important window through which one could view how these parents prefer their children to be perceived by society at large, according to the identities, roles, values, hierarchies or expectations constructed within a social space.

Particularly after the systematization of Maurice Freedman in the 1950s and 1960s, this view, as a stereo- type concerning China, has greatly affected the West’s understanding of the Chinese past. Meanwhile, most Chinese also wear the same PDG- focused glasses, even if the background from which they arrive at this view differs from the West’s. Recently like Patricia B. Ebrey, P. Steven Sangren, and James L. Watson have tried to challenge the prevailing idea from diverse perspectives.2 Some have proven that PDG proper did not appear until the Song era (in other words, about the eleventh century). Although they have confirmed that PDG was a somewhat later institution, the actual underlying view remains the same as before. Ebrey and Watson, for example, indicate: “Many basic kinship prin- ciples and practices continued with only minor changes from the Han through the Ch’ing dynasties.”3 In other words, they assume a certain continuity of paternally linked descent before and after the Song, and insist that the Chinese possessed such a tradition at least from the Han 1 This article will use both “PDG” and “zongzu” rather than try to formalize one term or one English translation.
