We finally know why ancient Roman concrete was so durable
What is the objective of the MIT study?
The title “Hot mixing: Mechanistic insights into the durability of Roman concrete” and the abstract are purely scientific and related to Roman concrete.
[https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.add1602](https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.add1602)
On the contrary:
\[- The first paragraph: “Ordinary Portland cement \[…\] life cycle of modern cementitious constructs” is about modern concretes and their carbon footprint
\- The last paragraph of the conclusion (p.10) which is of use as conclusion: “In this work, we successfully demonstrate that these ancient concrete design practices could be applied for the development of modern OPC-based formulations. \[…\]”
\- One part of the first paragraph of “Materials and methods” (p.10), clearly says that the methods used were carried out to “extract the design principles for the development and testing of modern Roman-inspired concrete formulations”
\- The experiments related in this study have been done only on OPC-based concretes (see “Roman-inspired concrete samples p.10) and not on Roman concrete\]
talk of modern concretes and their possible development.
For me, the objective of the authors is clearly a marketing objective. Moreover, the enormous publicity that has been made on this article is particularly different from the “non-publicity” usually made for scientific articles.
Thus, the “scientific” title covers the main objective which is a marketing objective.
\- The marketing form of the demonstration
How do the authors present their demonstration?
\- At the end of the introduction (p.3), they announce their demonstration as follows: “The results of these analyses provide **compelling evidence** for hot mixing instead of, or in addition to, slaked lime”.
\- In the following text, there are often less affirmative expressions:
\* p.5: “The recent discovery of calcite-filled cracks in Roman concrete suggested…”
\* p.6: “Previous evidence suggests that…”
\* p.7: “The characteristic features of the lime inclusions described in our study could also been explained by the temperature increase associated with hot mixing…”
\* p.7: “The gradient in composition seen in the EDS maps of the lime clasts in the Privernum samples suggests that…”
\* p.8: About Vitruvius text: “it is possible that in contrast … *extincta* could refer to… supporting the hot mixing process”
\* p.9: “the results presented here suggest… quicklime is introduced via hot mixing”
\* p.9: “we suggest that the hot mixing -transformed lime clasts act as a calcium source…”
\*p.9: “The entire self-healing mechanism suggested here…”
\- The conclusion (last paragraph of the discussion is not related to hot mixing that would have been used to make Roman concrete.
So, where is the **compelling evidence**?
The words used in the introduction are strangely contrasting with the words used in the discussion, without any conclusion. This looks more like a marketing discourse than like a scientific one, announcing the development of a new concrete based on the hot mixing method. -

Unable to get my son admitted in HPS Begumpet!!! Please Advice!!
OP - where do you live? I can provide some alternatives if that can help? Plus - arent you too late for the admissions game? Most of the good schools would’ve closed by now!
Agreed that HPS has good infra but kids do behave overmatured and show teenage traits by the age of 10-11.
Arrogance and rude talking prevails, there’s soo many other things around the personality traits of the HPS kids.. but it does give access to a strong network. The kids grow up with good and polished communication, the standards in most activities is high. -

Hyd >>>> Blr
For real , I visit to my frnd in blr and I can surely say hyd (atleast the high-tech city side whole area) is quite better than banglore developed area around which big tech companies are there . Just i find it quite difficult to interact with crowd in hyd , it's easier in blr -
Rant about libraries!
Hum abhi last week se hi jaa rahe. Piska More me hai. Aur ye achha hai, specially washroom jo mera priority hota. Shanti bhi hai, achha internet, achhe chairs, achhi LED lights. Aur lunch ke liye balcony ya andar ek cabin si jagah hai, dono hi badhiya. Par yahan shayad books nahi hain jaise textbook definition wali libraries me hoti. Library kam aur padhne ke liye achhi jagah jyada hai. Books bahut dikhi har cabin ke upar lekin kal ek dost ne bola inhi logon ke books hain shayad jo enrolled hain, isliye saare books wahan rakhe jahan log baithte. -
