The cold and hot physical properties were tested according to Chinese standards on refractories. The hydration resistance was determined in a high pres-sure autoclave with 0. 55 MPa of water vapor pressure for different holding times of 0. 5 h, 3 h, and 5 h. The tri-al results show （ 1 ） adding silica fume to decrease C/S ratio from 0. 84 to 0. 33 improves sintering property; addin,g limestone to increase C/S ratio J？om 0. 84 to 1.95 causes more pores and negatively influences physi-cal properties： BD decreases, AP increases, MOR and CCS decrease generally, but HMOR increases obviously; （2） for non-impregnated specimens, adjusting C/S mass ratio can not improve hydration resistance; （3） the impregnation with kieserite solution can improve hydra-tion resistance of magnesia bricks significantly.展开更多

We reached the conclusion of the simple unification of the fundamental interactions. We will find the formulas for the Gravitational constant. It will be presented that the gravitational fine-structure constant is a simple analogy between atomic physics and cosmology. We will find the expression that connects the gravitational fine-structure constant with the four coupling constants. Perhaps the gravitational fine-structure constant is the coupling constant for the fifth force. Also will be presented the simple unification of atomic physics and cosmology. We will find the formulas for the cosmological constant and we will propose a possible solution for the cosmological parameters. Perhaps the shape of the universe is Poincare dodecahedral space. This article will be followed by the energy wave theory and the fractal space-time theory.展开更多
