It was concluded that PGP is a comparable ASR inhibitor to FA, despite the underlying differences in their mechanisms. Microscopic images confirm that PGP and FA significantly limit the occurrence of ASR gels without altering its composition. This pozzolanic reactivity is not evident for PGP, whereas in the literature glass powders are often regarded as pozzolanic. The FA mix consumed calcium hydroxide and, thus, performed marginally better than the PGP mix in mitigating ASR. Both PGP and FA provided alkali dilution and reduced the mass transport in hydrated cement paste from the refinement of larger pores to below 60 nm. A comparable efficiency of PGP and FA in ASR expansion mitigation was confirmed with mortar bar expansions of less than 0.10% at cement replacement levels of at least 10%. PGP also offered increased heat of hydration compared to FA, from a combination of the dilution effect, filler effect and early-age reactions of PGP. Characterisations of pastes containing PGP reveal that PGP may possess latent hydraulic properties, resulting in a more than 75% strength activity index, together with better strength gain than FA-blended pastes. The efficiency of pulverised glass powder (PGP) was studied for its reactivity and its capacity for inhibiting alkali-silica reaction (ASR) that results from utilisation of recycled glass as a fine aggregate (sand) replacement. You’ll never have to waste time reformatting text that could reformat itself again.With the potential for a decline in fly ash (FA) production over time, due to the phasing down of coal fired power plants, alternative supplementary cementitious materials need to be identified. Which translates into minutes and hours in the long run. Whether you spend your day writing articles, creating presentation decks, or even just keeping up with your inbox, this quick trick will save you a few seconds here and there. So while it might take a little more time to figure out the best shortcuts in your favorite applications, you can still put in some work upfront to avoid adjusting the formatting every time you paste. Other applications might have their own solutions or allow you to use some sort of outside program or extension to achieve similar results. And in Office, you can click on the little Paste Options button that appears next to the pasted text and hit Match Destination Formatting (which will still keep bold and italics) or Keep Text Only-and you can set one of those as the default way to paste. But, for example, in Chrome and Firefox, you can use Control + Shift + V. On a PC, there’s not a catch-all shortcut that’ll work across every application. Technically, you can also go to Edit and scroll down to Paste and Match Formatting or Paste and Match Style, but who wants to go back to that much mouse clicking? It’s a lot of keys at once, but it’ll quickly become second nature. Instead of Command + V, hit Command + Option + Shift + V. Let’s start with Macs, because it’s easier.

Read: You won’t have to then change the font, size, color, spacing, or anything else you’ve already set for the rest of the text. That way, it integrates seamlessly into whatever it is you’re working on. Well if you’ve already mastered the basics, the next step on that road to laziness, I mean efficiency, is pasting text to match the formatting of its destination. And makes me want to swoop in like Captain Keyboard with this amazing timesaving tidbit: “Did you know you don’t have to click anything? Let me show you!” Hitting Command + C has become such an ingrained habit that now when I notice anyone doing otherwise it really throws me off. But I’d venture to say that keyboard shortcuts are life changing-and all that mouse work is really unnecessary. Okay, you probably don’t, and I’d be lying if I said I did. Remember the first time you realized you didn’t have to click on the Edit dropdown on your computer and select Copy or Cut and then go back to the Edit dropdown again and then scroll down to Paste just to put some text from one place into another spot?
