The amount of construction and demolition (C&D) waste has increased considerably over the last few decades. From the viewpoint of environmental preservation and effective utilization of resources, crushing C&D concrete waste to produce coarse aggregate (CA) with different replacement percentage for the production of new concrete is one common means for achieving a more environment-friendly concrete. In the study presented herein, the investigation was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, the selection of the materials was carried out and the physical, mechanical and chemical characteristics of these materials were evaluated. Different concrete mixes were designed. The investigation parameter was Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) ratios. The mechanical properties of all mixes were evaluated based on compressive strength and workability results. Accordingly, two mixes have been chosen to be used in the next phase. In the second phase, the study of the structural behavior of the concrete beams was developed. Sixteen beams were casted to investigate the effect of RCA ratios, the shear span to depth ratios and the effect of different locations and reinforcement of openings on the shear behavior of the tested specimens. All these beams were designed to fail in shear. Test results of the compressive strength of concrete indicated that, replacement of natural aggregate by up to 50% recycled concrete aggregates in mixtures with 350 Kg/m3 cement content led to increase of concrete compressive strength. Moreover, the tensile strength and the modulus of elasticity of the specimens with RCA have very close values to those with natural aggregates. The ultimate shear strength of beams with RCA is very close to those with natural aggregates indicating the possibility of using RCA as partial replacement to produce structural concrete elements. The validity of both the Egyptian Code for the design and implementation of Concrete Structures (ECCS) 203-2007 and American Concrete Institute (ACI) 318-2011Codes for estimating the shear strength of the tested RCA beams was investigated. It was found that the codes procedures gives conservative estimates for shear strength.

Frequency filters are linear electric circuits that are used in wide area of electronics. They are also the basic building blocks in analogue signal processing. In the last decade, a huge number of active building blocks for analogue signal processing were introduced. However, there is still the need to develop new active elements that offer new possibilities and better parameters. The current, voltage or mixed-mode analog circuits and their various aspects are discussed in the Paper. This work reflects the trend of low-power (LP) low-voltage (LV) circuits for portable electronic and mobile communication systems and the problems of their design. The need for high performance LV circuits encourages the analog designers to look for new circuit Architectures and new LV techniques. This paper presents a high-performance current differencing transconductance Amplifier (CDTA), a recently reported active element, especially suitable for analog signal processing applications. A high linearity CMOS configuration for a CDTA is made up of high linearity input and output stages. It is a resistor less circuit, so it is beneficial to IC implementation in terms of space consideration. The circuit is a second order single input multiple output (SIMO) current-mode filter. This filter can simultaneously realize all basic filter functions high pass, low pass and band pass Responses without any component-matching conditions. All the active and passive sensitivities are low presents a voltage-mode universal filter using a CDTA. It has two inputs and one output. The circuit can simultaneously realize low-pass, band pass, and high pass, band reject and all pass filter functions without changing the circuit topology and passive elements.

In ever growing populated world there is no enough space to accommodate the remains of the deceased, so the concept of capsula mundi has been developed by Italian designers Anna Cielli and Raoul Bretzel. Capsula mundi is an organic burial pod made of natural starch plastic in which body of deceased is placed in foetal position that nurture tree seeds as the body break downs. The natural decomposition process feeds the tree above, and over time, burial spaces can be transformed from bleak graveyards into inhabited memorial forests. As the burial space grows and more trees are added, the area transforms into sacred woodland, bodies are returned to the natural world from which they came, and barren land can be reforested. This is just a conceptual design right now as burial legislation is being revisited around the world, but hopefully in the near future it can turn to reality. Biodegradable burial pods could save our planet, as they are the ultimate eco-friendly statement. The release of various nutrients and its uptake by the plant for its growth and metabolism is discussed with some information on biodegradable materials that can be used for the designing of the capsula.

This paper deals with the use of an Exhaust Gas Re-circulation (EGR) system on a given Spark Ignition engine for studying the performance and emission characteristics. For various openings of EGR-Valve, experiments are carried out on a set of loads varying from 0 to 15 percent of engine loads at a cruising speed of 3500rpm. The results when compared with those obtained from the same engine without EGR system, show nearly a 10 percent fuel savings when 4.8 percent of exhaust gas was recirculated. Also, fall in engine friction by 8% leads to a marginal 2% improvement in engine power. The exhaust gas emission contents like carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons are reduced from 5.3 percent and 1530 parts per million to 3.21 percent and 640parts per million respectively for the above position of the EGR valve. An energy conservation study using neat ethanol as a fuel to replace gasoline shows a remarkable reduction of engine emission by three and half times with respect to the above emission values. In other words, EGR system for gasoline operation and neat ethanol (without EGR) as an eco-friendly substitute to gasoline fuel curtail engine emissions by 40 to 50 per cent.

Floodplains are land areas adjacent to rivers and streams that are subject to recurring inundation. Owing to their continually changing nature, floodplains and other flood-prone areas need to be examined in the light of how they might affect or be affected by development A Floodplain is the normally dry land area adjoining river or stream that is inundated during flood events. The most common reason for flooding could be overtopping of river or stream due to heavy downfall. The floodplain carries flow in excess of the river or stream capacity. Flood frequency and flood water-surface elevations are the crucial components for the evaluation of flood hazard. This Review paper presents the recent methodology that incorporates advanced technologies for hydrologic and hydraulic analyses that are needed to be carried out to predict the flood water-surface elevations for any ungagged watershed.

A buffer is a sequential section of memory allocated to contain anything from a character string to an array of integers. A buffer overflow or buffer overrun occurs when more data is put into a fixed-length buffer than that the buffer can handle. Adjacent memory space becomes overwritten and corrupted. In computer security and programming, a buffer overflow, or buffer overrun, is an anomaly where a program, while writing data to a buffer, overruns the buffer's boundary and overwrites adjacent memory. This is a special case of violation of memory safety. A buffer overflow is a common software coding mistake. This paper discusses certain issues about buffer overflow from the very basic and its details in the system.

Component based software engineering has become a modern approach for software development. It is a multifaceted approach in complex scenarios that focuses on “develop once reuse multiple times” methodology. As per user requirements, the components from repository are selected and integrated to develop software. It helps developers to deliver high quality softwares within a less amount of time and cost with less effort. Component based softwares are based on modular approach that provides the benefit of easy scalability and flexibility of the software. But along with this advantage comes the disadvantages too. Adding more components may result in performance degradation in terms of responsiveness, throughput, bandwidth as well as incompatibility problems in terms of resource requirement. This research paper propose to identify the non participating components of a component based software like excessive graphics , unnecessary animations and other optional components and deactivating them for that time to increase compatibility and optimize the system for best performance. By using the case study of Windows XP as reference, we successfully demonstrated that a component based software that has higher system requirements can run smoothly on a lower configured system by identifying and disabling the non participating sub-components. We successfully achieve up to 27.43% increase in performance by this method.

In a dynamic Wireless Sensor Network fault occurring in sensor nodes are common due low-cost sensors used in WSNs, deployed in large quantities and prone to failure. A wireless sensor network can get separated into multiple network connected components due to the failure of some of its component nodes that is called a “cut”. Cuts are group of failure nodes. An algorithm is proposed for detection and prevention that allows (i) every node to detect when the connectivity to a source node has been lost, and (ii) one or more nodes (that are connected to the neighbour node after the failure nodes) to detect the occurrence of the cut using nearest neighbours. (iii) Path selection using neighbour nodes. In this paper we have implemented NNS algorithm for detecting failure nodes by neighbours and avoiding failure paths for transmission in dynamic wireless sensor network. The RCDPWSN system can very easily prevent from data lost using rerouting.

Plagiarism detection created providing similar options are detected inside identical distance of options associated to connect blocks. Copy-move Plagiarism may be a specific style of image meddling wherever a vicinity of the image is traced and glued on another part usually to hide unwanted parts of the image. Hence, the goal of conversion of copy-move plagiarism is to detect image that are same or extraordinarily similar detection of malicious manipulation with digital pictures (digital forgeries) is the topic of this paper. Particularly, we have a tendency to specialise in detection of a special style of digital plagiarism – the copy-move attack within which a locality of the image is traced and glued elsewhere within the image with the intent to hide a vital image feature. In this given paper, we have a tendency to review many strategies projected to realize this goal.

EDM is one of the most advanced, non-traditional material removal processes which may help overcome the limitations of conventional mechanical cutting methods. This study represents the recent trends in EDM process. The varying input parameters are identified as peak current Ip, pulse duration Ton, types of dielectric medium and powder-mixed dielectrics. The output responses are measured as Material Removal Rate (MRR), Tool Wear Rate (TWR) and Surface Roughness (Ra). MRR was found to increase with powder-mixed dielectrics. Ton and Ip seems to be the most influencing factors for MRR. Addition of powders like SiC and B4C to the dielectric lowers the tool wear. Ra improves with addition of powder to the dielectric medium and also the desired properties like hardness, corrosion resistance etc are imparted to the machined surface of the work piece.

This paper presents a three phase DC-AC inverter for grid connected PV system using Third harmonic injection PWM (THIPWM) technique. The SPWM technique is easiest modulation scheme to understand but it requires complicated mathematical operation so third harmonic injection techniques for PWM (THIPWM) is employed to reduce the total harmonic distortion (THD) and to make the inverter suitable for grid connection, by synchronizing the inverter voltage with the grid voltage. The application of THIPWM to inverter increases for management of voltage and constancy in frequency of the system thereby increasing its overall efficiency.. MATLAB simulink model is developed to illustrate the proposed system. The inverter model complies with all IEEE 1547 standards varying a maximum of 5% under different testing conditions
