Investigating the performance of asphalt pavements modified with reclaimed asphalt and crumb rubber
Four rehabilitated pavement sections along the Islamabad–Lahore Motorway (M-2) were the subject of the study; each section included varying amounts of Crumb Rubber (CR) and Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) in asphalt mixtures. As the control,…

A Nest of Diffuse Interstellar Bands—Likely of Common Origin
Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) have been proposed to cluster into distinct “families” each potentially linked to a single carrier molecule. In our study, we focus on identifying such a family within the spectral range of approximately…

The RR Lyrae Luminosity Metallicity Relation Revisited
We utilize a set of internally consistent absolute ages for a sample of ten Galactic globular clusters to determine the variation of the slope with the zero point of the MV(RR) ∼ [Fe/H] relation for RR Lyrae variables. Our formalism relies on…
