Effect of aggressive soil on self compacting concrete[Full-Text ] Galal T. Abdo and Nasser A. A. Radwan Aggressive soil basically means soil which attack the concrete of the earth structures by the chemicals composition of the soil basically sulphate. The conception of self-compacting concrete (SCC) is totally different from ordinary concrete, therefore some changes in durability behavior might occur. The durability aspects investigated here are sulfate attack and permeability, which are of prime importance in almost all concrete structures. Tests were carried out on 6 SCC mixtures and on the corresponding 6 mortar mixtures in addition to the ordinary ones. The SC concrete and mortar mixtures were designed such that they have different paste contents, two types of powder, comprise silica fume or not, and two different gravel to sand ratios. A mineralogical study was conducted at the mortar specimens before and after sulfate exposure to identify the sulfate effects at the microscopic level.

Samuel Method of Multiplication by Dividing Digits[Full-Text ] Samuel BelayMultiplication is one of four main elementary arithmetic operations. Most people learn basic multiplication algorithms in elementary school and these are used at all education levels. Among the various techniques, long multiplication is the method of multiplication that is commonly taught to elementary school students globally. It can be used on two numbers of arbitrarily large size or number of decimal digits. Long multiplication of two n-digit numbers take approximately n^2 multiplication operations. This is said to be a time complexity of order n^2 or 0(n^2). In this paper, a new method of multiplication which works for two, three, four and five digit numbers is shown and proven. This method allows the multiplication of numbers quickly and easily in comparison to the usual method. The distribution property of multiplication over addition and subtraction are deployed; writing numbers in expanded form according to their place values is used to prove the theorems.

Stability of Dynamical System Using Reduction Technique[Full-Text ] Alaudin N. Ahmad, Muthana I. ZaidanIn this paper, Dynamic stability analysis of a large interconnected power system is extremely time consuming and laborious and may even exceed the storage capacity of modern fast computers because of the high order of the system matrix. The complexity often makes it difficult to obtain a good understanding of the behavior of a system. The exact analysis of most of the high order system is both tedious and costly; it poses a great challenge to both system analyst and control engineer. So we will use both methods Routh Stability Array (RSA) Method and Stability Equation (SE) Method. To reduce a high-order system, the proposed methods ensures the stability of the reduced system model, if the original high order system is stable.

Medline, and Embase, databases were searched for relevant studies discussing the essential thrombocythemia through, October, 2017. Platelet level is increased in essential thrombythemia and it is very important to underscore the prognostic relevance of distinguishing from early/prefibrotic myelofibrosis and to raise awareness of relatively high risk of residual thrombosis in certain patients with defined ET. As the treatment low-dose aspirin combined with hydroxyurea may represent a satisfactory treatment of patients over the age of 60 years, but there is a need of disease-modifying drugs for younger patients. However, a definitive treatment of ET remains dependent on exclusion of the numerous reactive, hereditary, and neoplastic causes of thrombocytosis.

Study of Seismic Effect of Different Type of RC Shear Walls in Concrete Frame Structures[Full-Text ] Mahdi Hosseini,Prof.N.V.Ramana RaoShear walls are a type of structural system that provides lateral resistance to a building or structure. They resist in-plane loads that are applied along its height. The applied load is generally transferred to the wall by a diaphragm or collector or drag member.Shear walls are analyzed to resist two types of forces: shear forces and uplift forces. Shear forces are created throughout the height of the wall between the top and bottom shear wall connections. Uplift forces exist on shear walls because the horizontal forces are applied to the top of the wall. These uplift forces try to lift up one end of the wall and push the other end down.

ANALYSIS OF CIRCULAR MICROSTRIP PATCH ANTENNA TO DETECT STRAIN USING METAMATERIAL[Full-Text ] A.zaheetha Banu and K.S.Joseph WilsonIn this paper the feasibility of using a circular microstrip patch antenna to detect strain has been investigated. The theoretical model shows a linear relationship between strain as a function of temperature and the shift in the resonant frequency of the antenna. It has been shown that strain could be detected using a circular patch antenna and therefore could be detected wirelessly. The need for a structural health monitoring (SHM) system which could be more reliable and accurate to locate the damage in structure and specify its size and location still exists. The ultimate intention of this work is to configure antennas or resonators for the detection of relatively small damage zones in structures and to do so wirelessly.

Effect of Supervising GPS Code Smoothing Process on the Positional Accuracy[Full-Text ] Tamer F. Fath-Allah and Yasser M. MogahedGPS smoothed codes merge the advantages of both phase and code measurements as it is based on using the high accurate phase measurements in smoothing the unambiguous code measurements. However, the resulted smoothed codes are suffering from two main problems. First, it is contaminated by relatively high biases. Also, such biases are not similar at all stations as in the classical approaches of code smoothing the process starts at the epoch of satellite rise which differs among different stations. This resulted in non-similar positional errors at different stations.

Socio Economic Prospects and Challenges of Solar Potential in Pakistan[Full-Text ] Fazal Muhammad, Muhammad Waleed Raza, Faisal Khan, Surat Khan, Aziz Ahmad Pakistan lies in an area of the world having greater solar radiations. The co-ordinates of the country have solar potential to generate 2.334 million MW electric power. The huge solar potential of the country can play revolutionizing role to overcome the prevailing power shortage in the country. The solar potential can contribute to overcome the power shortage which has an adverse impact on the economy of Pakistan cutting GDP growth by 3%.The solar potential exploitation can reduce the health cost of Country by $ 916.2 billion which will be 21% of GDP in 2050.solar potential exploitation can contribute to electrify the rural population of Pakistan. At contemporary 38% people in Pakistan remain without access of electricity. As per recent report of Water And Power Development Authority WAPDA, over 40000 villages across the country that cannot be provided electricity as it is not economically viable to connect rural areas with Natural grid. Baluchistan’s 80% population lives in rural areas 30% of it have no access to electricity. If only 10% diesel pumps in country are replaced by solar pumps 2100 GWh energy can be saved per year and will save Rs.21.6 Billion per year. Exploitation of such gigantic potential yet confronts various impedes in Pakistan. Some of the challenges in this respect are time line and policy uncertainty, Land identification issues, Massive cost of solar energy technology, Transmission issues, on Grid and off Grid issues and unstable and volatile explosive land and order situation in solar potential areas in the country.

Mathematical Modelling of Powder Coating Polymer Extrusion in Self-Wiping Co-Rotating Twin-Screw Extruder[Full-Text ] Kennedy O. AmeduThe objective of this research paper is to present a unified approach for modelling and quantifying the flow, geometrical and process parameters in the local zones of the self-wiping co-rotating twin-screw extruder operated without a die as applied in the production of powder coatings in order to aid optimisation of the process. To achieve this, the flow dynamics is modelled by analysis of the velocity profile in the forward and reverse screw elements that are prevalent, from which the local drag and pressure flow rate, degree of fill in the screw channel and residence time can be determined. A new modelling approach for the flow profile in kneading disc elements is proposed. The Newtonian and non-Newtonian flow cases were considered. A model for calculating the non-Newtonian viscosity was also proposed. With these strategies proposed, it is seen that it is possible to quantify the local geometrical and flow parameters, which influence processing of powder coatings in the self-wiping co-rotating twin-screw extruder without recourse to experimental data.
